1. Stick to recognised paths - that way you're less likely to get lost.
2. Always tell someone where you're going - and what time you'll be back - this gives a time-frame for your family/friends to work out whether you might need help.
3. Carry basic provisions (food/water) - Dehydration is always a risk factor - even on mild or cool days.
4. Check the weather forecast BEFORE you set out - You should never go hill walking when bad weather is expected.
5. Wear suitable clothing & footwear for the conditions you're likely to encounter - trainers etc are NOT good walking shoes, neither are jeans & t-shirts suitable walking clothes !
