A mountain leaders top tips to stay safe this summer

Route planning, clothes, safety, Alan shares his top tips to help keep you safe on your staycation adventure in the great outdoors as well as the reason for and importance of being prepared for your next adventure.

We had the pleasure of talking to Alan Ward; world traveler, mountain leader and all round lover of adventure.

Mixing work and pleasure well together in harmony, in our conversation we talk about some of Alan’s most memorable experiences including taking a visually impaired group up Snowdon.

We also talk about the potential to charge on major footpaths and bridleways to not only keep the environment safe and well maintained but also a professional rescue team.

Remove barriers so that more people can access the outdoors

Britain’s walking charity the Ramblers is calling on the UK government to remove all unnecessary barriers within the next five years. Shining a spotlight on the path barriers faced by those with disabilities or limited mobility, the walking charity’s goal is to see improvements to the path network to make access to nature more inclusive for all.
