Weather
A change in weather can turn a summer stroll into a winter survival situation. Always check the weather before you go out on the hills. Many bunkhouses and youth hostels get the daily weather forcasts from the Met Office and post them somewhere public. If they charge for this it is because they get the info from the Met Office fax-back service which is on an 0900 number.

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.
