Plot a safe route from your map to go upstream to a narrower crossing point. If you have to resort to crossing, make sure you know your access and egress points on the river.

Consider if you need to cross at all: is there an alternative route, is there a bridge up or downstream, or do you just need to abandon this plan for the day? If you are on the return leg of your journey, you may need to consider other options such as looking upstream to see if there is a more suitable crossing point where you could cross several smaller streams. With this option, bear in mind heading off path upstream may lead to steep and rocky ground. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Where you cross is important, making sure you can get in and out easily with no steep or slippery banks. It is far safer to walk on the bed of the stream than it is to attempt to rock hop over wet boulders (this is when most accidents happen), good walking boots will keep the water out to a certain depth but beyond that you will get wet feet, think about how this will impact your day.

If necessary, pack up your kit quickly and continue with your new plan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharon Kennedy, Penrith MRT<\/strong><br><em>\u201cA group shelter should be considered essential kit in the hills. This will enable you to get out of the worst of the wind and the rain. Once you are in the shelter you can then add extra warm layers, dry gloves (always carry spares) get some food and a drink inside you before getting moving. Don\u2019t stay too long in a shelter &#8211; getting moving if you are able to do so is the best way of staying warm.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jake Stapleton, Cave Rescue Organisation<\/strong><br><em>\u201cModern waterproofs are great and do a fantastic job at keeping you protected from the elements whilst letting your skin breathe. Inevitably there will come a time when a waterproof leaks, you take a slip, or the water in a puddle is deeper than you expect (remember that moment in The Vicar of Dibley?). Whilst you\u2019re moving you might be able to generate heat to keep warm but if you need to stop (or something happens and you have to stop and wait for Mountain Rescue) you can cool down quickly. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A spare hat and gloves are a must and help keep the heat in. Carrying an extra base layer, a lightweight fleece or an insulated jacket (think synthetic not down for wet weather) can make all the difference. Add a pair of dry socks and you\u2019ll be the envy of all your friends. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As well as extra layers, think about packing a storm shelter; these are great pieces of kit and allow you and friends (they come in a range of sizes so you can choose how accommodating you are feeling) to shelter from the wind and rain. You\u2019ll be surprised how quickly they warm up with a few people inside and can allow you to eat your sandwiches or wait out the storm in relative comfort. Mountain Rescue don\u2019t often get a chance to eat sandwiches in our storm shelters but you\u2019ll often see us using them to warm up a casualty on the hill.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section

during a cold wet hike?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-content-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5f0a097d8053a423c5f7fcc734356254\">Hypothermia happens when your body loses heat faster than it can produce it, causing your core temperature to drop below <strong>35\u00b0C<\/strong>. When this happens, your vital organs, including your heart, brain, and muscles, stop working properly. It doesn\u2019t just occur in extreme winter conditions. Wind, rain, wet clothing, exhaustion, lack of food, or even a mild cool day can trigger hypothermia if you\u2019re out for long enough and unable to stay warm. Early signs include <strong>shivering, clumsiness, confusion, and slurred speech<\/strong>. As it worsens, shivering may stop, decision-making becomes impaired, and the situation can become life-threatening without prompt action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stuart Smith, Patterdale MRT<\/strong><br>\u201cPrevention is always better than cure. Thoroughly check the weather in the area you are planning on going to, at least a week before going, keep an eye on the trends and conditions on the ground from webcams, social media etc. #BeBothered to look after your food and warm drink intake, your route choice, your layering systems and make the big and small adjustments you may need to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also take the right kit with you, a group shelter, something to insulate yourself from the floor, spare dry layers of clothing from skin to surface, eg socks, baselayers, gloves, hats, fleece jumpers, synthetic insulated jackets. Also protect your tech, keep phones, keys and battery packs in easily identifiable drybags. Always take a torch and spare batteries or spare torch all year round. #BeBothered to turn round if necessary and look after you and your group. Hypothermia can and does happen at any time of year, not just winter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sharon Kennedy, Penrith MRT<\/strong><br>\u201cTwo things generate heat \u2013 fuel (food) and movement. Make sure that, if possible, you keep eating and you keep moving. Then our clothing reduces heat loss. Dry insulation is best but if your clothes are wet, they will still protect you if you do not have any dry kit left. Waterproofs reduce heat loss by evaporation and reduce the cooling effect of the wind, so keep them on even if they are not keeping you dry anymore. Finally, continuing with your day when you are cold and wet, is miserable and can be dangerous. Now is the time to turn back if you haven\u2019t already.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jake Stapleton, Cave Rescue Organisation<\/strong><br>\u201cLayers! Often on a call out they\u2019ll be times when we\u2019re pushing hard up a hill, carrying kit to the casualty\u2019s location. During this time, we\u2019ll be getting warm and what we don\u2019t want is to be soaked in sweat when we are exposed on the hill. When you stop working sweat can quickly chill you, potentially leading to hypothermia. Layering a base-layer with a fleece and then an insulated jacket and\/or a waterproof jacket allows you to regulate your temperature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right clothing will help you stay at the right temperature but your body needs fuel to burn and without it you\u2019ll struggle to generate heat. Snacks are a must! Everyone has their favourites (flapjack is a popular one) and spend any time with an MR team and you\u2019ll note that snack choice is a favourite topic of conversation! A flask of something warm (tea, coffee, hot chocolate) is also a great comfort on a cold day \u2013 or two smaller flasks so that one keeps that bit warmer later in your day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<section id=\"block_6e2dcbe9fc83764ac06c5d05d748ce19\" class=\"Inner InnerGoodToKnow\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-center jusitfy-content-start\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__icon \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"32\" height=\"32\" viewBox=\"0 0 32 32\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<g id=\"info-circle\">\n<path d=\"M15.9994 21.3333V16M15.9994 10.6666H16.0127M29.3327 16C29.3327 23.3638 23.3631 29.3333 15.9994 29.3333C8.63555 29.3333 2.66602 23.3638 2.66602 16C2.66602 8.63616 8.63555 2.66663 15.9994 2.66663C23.3631 2.66663 29.3327 8.63616 29.3327 16Z\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"2.664\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\"\/>\n<\/g>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-auto\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTips for preventing hypothermia\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"InnerGoodToKnow__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><!-- wp:list-item --><\/p>\n<li><strong>Prepare properly:<\/strong> Check weather trends, conditions on the ground, and pack essential kit, dry layers, insulation, group shelter, torch, and protected tech.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manage your heat:<\/strong> Keep eating, keep moving, and use effective layering to regulate temperature, avoid sweat\u2011chill, and stay dry and insulated.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Know when to turn back:<\/strong> If you\u2019re cold, wet, or conditions worsen, the safest choice is to stop, reassess, or head down, hypothermia can happen any time of year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\n\t\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wet-weather-hikers.jpg\" alt=\"wet weather hikers\" class=\"wp-image-21533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wet-weather-hikers.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wet-weather-hikers-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/wet-weather-hikers-768x490.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-most-common-mistakes-hikers-make-with-wet-weather-gear-and-footwear\"><strong>What are the most common mistakes hikers make with wet\u2011weather gear and footwear?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stuart Smith, Patterdale MRT<\/strong><br>\u201cThere are lots of things to consider \u2013 and many of them are easy mistakes to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Generally wet weather gear needs to base washed and reproofed often\u2026<br>\u00b7 Some people do not put their waterproofs on until they are already wet\u2026<br>\u00b7 Some people put them on as its windy and not raining, when wearing a windproof would be better.<br>\u00b7 Hoods zips and pockets do not get done up therefore letting water in.<br>\u00b7 Clothing sticks out of ill-fitting waterproofs\u2026<br>\u00b7 Waterproof footwear has its uses as long as water does not get in at the top.<br>\u00b7 If wearing gaiters put them under your waterproof trousers\u2026 gloves under your cuffs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Wet weather, boggy ground and fast\u2011rising streams are common across the UK\u2019s hills, but with the right preparation you can stay safe, warm and confident on your adventures.
