If you are walking in the countryside, please remember:

- Keep to public paths across farmland
- Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls
- Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone
- Take your litter home
- Help to keep all water clean
- Protect wildlife, plants and trees

Mountain walking is a strenuous outdoors activity which can be dangerous. You should make sure you and your group are fit enough for the type of route and terrain planned and that everyone has suitable equipment. Always check the weather forecast before you go.
