Avalanches in the UK

There has been lots of snow and its not consolidating very well at the moment please be very careful when planning and travelling to the hills in the next few days. These are a few items that have happened with some very sad consequences.

For more information on avalanches please get in touch. Consider wearing a transceiver. Use the SAIS  and various weather forecasts for your planned area. Be adaptable!

Take care and plan safe
