Spring into the outdoors
Spring weather can change fast — sunshine can quickly turn to wind, rain, or colder temperatures. Pack layers, waterproofs, and an emergency bivi or shelter to stay warm during unplanned stops.
Check the forecast on MWIS.org.uk, the Met Office, and other trusted sources. A little planning lets you enjoy the adventure, whatever Spring throws at you.
Remember to plan ahead, respect the environment, and be Adventure Smart so you can enjoy the hills safely.
