Cicerone sponsors Mountain Safety leaflets for the Lake District and Scotland
How to stay safe and enjoy the fells/mountains is a new initiative in cooperation with both the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association, and the Mountain Rescue Council of Scotland.
The leaflets give concise and practical advice on
• skills to develop
• what to take with you
• preparations before going out
• awareness on the fells
and a clear checklist and instructions for calling out the Mountain Rescue teams if things go badly wrong.
Widely available throughout the Lake District and Scotland, it's hoped they will help inexperienced hillwalkers and tourists to be more prepared and aware while in the mountains, and reduce the number of largely unnecessary call-outs.
