Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team

With the current cold snap and warnings of snow this weekend, our colleagues at Scottish Mountain Rescue have shared some timely advice from Mountaineering Scotland (in the form of these poster slides) about using your mobile phone in winter conditions.

We always recommend navigating with a map and compass but we recognise that mobile phones can and will be used on the hills. Just don't count on them and if you do use them please follow the advice provided here.

Also, please remember at all times of the year - BE ADVENTURESMART:

Ask yourself 3 questions before you set off:
– Am I confident I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
– Do I know what the WEATHER will be like?
– Do I have the right GEAR?

Further advice is available at www.adventuresmart.uk and via our website at clevelandmrt.org.uk/staying-safe/ ... See MoreSee Less
