What's so important about basic clothing?
The main aim behind selecting
the correct clothing for you is to be warm and comfortable on
the hills. Hypothermia is attributed
to wind chill and damp clothing. We are all different, but with the correct
clothing, you will keep dry and prevent yourself from becoming too hot
or cold on the hills.
The necessity to return to bus on time.
How long the bus can be held back depends on various factors.
a. The driver's hours are set and are recorded on the bus
tachograph.
b.
The coaches must be back in Park's depot by 21.30.
c. It was agreed that club members should get back to E.K. at a reasonable
time.
Having the right equipment
Hillwalking in Winter can be very rewarding
but it brings the need for new skills to be learned. Always carry ice
axe and crampons with you and make sure you know how to use them. Navigation
in Winter can be more difficult. Winter skills courses are available
in the club with a grant from the Tommy Kilpatrick Fund.
