A short video of the weather conditions you might encounter this time of year on the UK mountains.

Always make sure you have adequate equipment to tackle icy conditions such as ice axe and #crampons. Make sure your map and compass work is on point, and you have sufficient survival equipment and spare clothing should the worse happen.

Cracking effort from these guys who over the weeke Cracking effort from these guys who over the weekend completed the 3 Peaks Challenge in 23 hours! 💪⛰️

Due to some of the group’s links to Backcountry Survival we supported this with advice before and during the event. We also supplied equipment (and beanies!!) to ensure they had the correct equipment and safety gear that they may have required in an emergency. The guys made it up and down all 3 peaks with no issues (other than a few aches and pains!) in a very respectable time.

We are always here to provide advice and training for anyone venturing into the great outdoors! 👍
