Summer walking advice
Even in summer, conditions can be several degrees colder and windier than in the sheltered valley. If you are planning a full day's walk, check the weather forecast before you go and make sure you have suitable footwear, warm and waterproof clothing, map and compass, headtorch with spare batteries, fully charged mobile phone, whistle, first aid kit and plenty of food, drink, spare gloves and socks. Navigational skills are important on the moors in case of low cloud or whiteouts. Make sure you have told someone where you are heading and what time you expect to be back. If you change your plans, let them know.
If you get into difficulties and need help, call 999 and ask for Mountain Rescue.
