❄️ Our partners at Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team have urged members of the public to be ‘adventure smart’ when heading out into the hills this winter.

They've asked everyone to think about their skills and capabilities, anticipate the weather and have the equipment and clothing to stay safe.

This could include:

✅ Carrying a torch and spare batteries

✅ Bringing enough warm clothing and spare food or a hot drink

✅ Carry a map and compass, as a back-up to any GPS or mobile devices

✅ Download What3Words before your journey

🖱 There's a whole host of useful advice and information on the website, linked in the comments below.

☎ In an emergency, always dial 999.
