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.
