winter hill walking

Walking in the hills in winter is stunning, however, the UK can produce rapidly changing and extreme weather on all our mountain tops and shouldn’t be underestimated. Mountain Rescue Team Annual Reports are full of folk who were ill prepared or simply were unaware of how serious the UK winter environment can be. 

The Guides and Instructors below can help you make good decisions to safe and enjoy your snowy adventures.
