Plan for a great day
• Know where you are going – choose a suitable route
and allow enough time. Carry a map and compass
and know how to use them.
• Check the latest weather and ground conditions
before you set off – take advice, only attempt a
route if the conditions are within you and your
companions’ capabilities.
• Keep your energy levels up – carry food and drink.
• Make sure your mobile is charged – don’t rely on it
for navigation or communication.

The right gear’s a good idea
• Stay warm and dry; wear walking boots, carry
insulating layers and waterproofs.

Let the experts show you the way
