How to stay safe and enjoy the fells is a new initiative in cooperation with the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association. The leaflet gives 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, it’s hoped that the leaflet will help inexperienced hillwalkers and tourists to be more prepared and aware while in the hills, and reduce the number of largely unnecessary call-outs.
