What to carry for a full day out, from layers and emergency shelter to food, water and a basic first aid kit.
Interpret pressure charts, frontal systems and wind arrows to judge whether your planned hill route is sensible today.
Pitch on durable ground, bury waste properly and avoid fires to keep fragile upland habitats intact for wildlife and other visitors.
