The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/weather\/specialist-forecasts\/mountain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Met Office has a mountain weather forcast<\/a> which tells you what the weather will be like on the summits &#8211; it can be very different to the closest towns. Look at the forecast for the whole day and pay attention to the wind speed and the `feels like&#8217; temperature as it is often a lot lower than the suggested temperature and will give you a good indication of what it will feel like on the mountain top. If the weather forecast isn&#8217;t good, with rain or high winds, be prepared to change your route, even if this upsets a long-planned adventure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Know your route. <\/strong>Consider the time of year, terrain and the abilities of your party and plan your route accordingly. If you are in a group, plan it for the weakest member of your party and for the weather forecast. Remember the highest peaks will always be there for another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ensure your phone is fully charged<\/strong>, enable \u2018location services\u2019 and register your number with <a href=\"http:\/\/emergencysms.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emergencySMS.org.uk<\/a>. Many accidents happen at the end of the day, when both you and your phone are low on energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Leave details of your planned route<\/strong> in a safe place or with a family member, friend or neighbour. Include start and finish points, estimated return time and contact in case of emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/PhillipaC_MR3.jpg\" alt=\"Brecon MRT training session\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><small><br>Brecon MRT training session<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-to-navigate\">Learn to navigate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Q: Do you still need to know how to use a map and compass as everything is available on GPS or Apps now?<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"redactor-invisible-space\"><\/span>Even though a <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.osmaps.com\/outdoor-gear\/gps-navigation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GPS<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk\/shop\/os-maps-online.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mapping apps<\/a> on your phone are great bits of kit, try to avoid relying on them completely.

Then ask for Mountain Rescue. You will need to tell the team the number of casualties, their names and ages, the nature of the injury, illness or your predicament and your location if you know it, with your six-figure grid reference. Don\u2019t change your position until you have spoken to a member of Mountain Rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t enough signal to make a phone call you may be able to use the emergency SMS service. Text 999 and send. Then type Police followed by the details of what has happened and your location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole process can take several hours. Please don\u2019t expect Mountain Rescue to whisk you off the mountain in a helicopter, especially in these current conditions. Most rescues are carried out on foot. While you are waiting remember to keep you and the casualty warm \u2013 people can become hypothermic in summer too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on what to do in an emergency, read <a href=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/guides\/mountain-safety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">more from Mountain Rescue<\/a> and familiarise yourself with their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adventuresmart.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Adventure Smart advice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/site\/uploads\/images\/2023%20Blog\/hill-walking-safety-beginners-phillipa-cherryson.jpg\" alt=\"Phillipa at the summit of the Skirrid\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><small><br>Phillipa at the summit of the Skirrid<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-phillipa-s-advice-for-beginners\">Phillipa&#8217;s advice for beginners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When I started walking by myself in the mountains and even now when I am exploring new areas, I always go online and do my research first. You can find out loads of information about mountain routes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To start with I always looked for routes which had clear paths and avoided any which warned they would be difficult underfoot or required navigating pathless mountain tops!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then when I decide upon a route I plot it on <a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OS Maps<\/a> to find out how long it will take me to walk. I also do a virtual fly through so I can see exactly what the terrain looks like &#8211; are there are any steep drops or tricky descents!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I will check the weather and choose a day which has light winds and clear conditions forecast. A route which is simple in the sunshine is very different when the cloud comes down and you can&#8217;t see your hand in front of your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/en\/route\/5390996\/Skirrid\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are two walks in the Brecon Beacons National Park which are ideal for those starting out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"blog-buttons\">\n    <a class=\"btn second map\" href=\"http:\/\/%20https:\/\/explore.osmaps.com\/en\/route\/5390953\/Mynydd-Illtyd-Common\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mynydd Illtyd Common walk in OS Maps <i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Mynydd Illtyd Common, near Brecon.
