Fellwalking

One a group of three young males was reported as feeling dizzy, unwell and unable to continue their descent from Dove Crag. The group were encouraged to continue to descend, it being easier to keep warm while moving than stationary. We met them around High Pike and assisted them the remainder of the way. We were assisted by Kendal MRT

Ask yourself 3 questions before you set off:

Do I have the right GEAR?

Am I confident I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
