it would happen within 18months uk wide i reckon, 2 summers, look at what happens to parks it the council wait an extra week to cut the grass!!

The first statement about parts of Scotland is correct, but the rest of the UK is not going to suddenly "grow" mountains and become wild, its different terrain; different geology; different climate, most of the UK will simply NEVER become "WILDERNESS". It may be come scrubland; forested or even develop into meadowland, but Wilderness!! Really!

If people think that 18" of grass, a few saplings, gorse and brambles in a field is wilderness and overgrown hedges means the UK is now a wilderness, then they are deluded.
