I thought the definitions were linked to environment and consequence
HML = die dizzy and lost
ML = die wet and mushy

@redowling how does WGL fit into the LL/HML/ML bracket of qualifications? Iâve looked at the chart at the end of ACATI26 and it lists it under Moorland Terrain Overnight Camping. But that chart doesnât mention Hills. Is it just a straight up HML with ESM or is it different? (Not dealt with one before?!)
Treat it as HML, itâs the old version of that.

Cheers, I assumed as much but thought Inwoukd check.
Found the description of the WGL scope:
WGL terrain is open, uncultivated, non-mountainous, high or remote country, such as
upland, moor, bog, fell, hill or down. Walking areas should be enclosed by well-defined geographical or man-made boundaries such as classified roads, and should not merge with mountain regions or involve steep or rocky terrain. The WGL scheme doesnât qualify you to cope with winter conditions (ie snow and ice) or to use rope work. The walking areas you guide over must be easy to exit in a maximum of three hours - either to a road accessible to traffic, or to a refuge that would provide shelter and from which help could be summoned.
Perfect thanks!
