God forbid you get something that's not covered, and requires extended treatment, stays, aftercare, major operations. Hopefully you took out your insurance with no pre-existing or excluded conditions.

Leave your 'phone at home. Wear a hoodie and jeans, and a pair of trainers. Then, get dropped off anywhere in large parts of the UK. If you're lucky, someone will find you before you've died of hypothermia. Apart from the major conurbations, much of the UK is very sparsely developed, if...
