The back has been designed so you can hand it out to your party, getting everyone to fill in the details and also to add to it any information you think will be relevant to your walk. The walking safety guide has been designed to give you important information as quickly and easily as possible, whilst giving you clear instructions on what to do in a number of emergency situations. We know you are smart enough to prepare for every walk & hike you go on, but what happens if under a pressured situation you forget some key things? Facts about your party? Allergy information? Or what number to call? But keep checking back as we are adding new ones all the time, and if you have a request – send it over!Īs walking is one of Britain’s favourite past-times, we wanted to make sure that you got to enjoy the countryside knowing you were prepared for any situation that may arise.Īs well as the information on the sort of gear you need to take with you, we will be getting advice from some of Britain’s most loved walking enthusiasts, treating you to some ideas from a couple of associations and pointing you down the right path when it comes to doing first aid out in the wilderness.
Here are just a couple of the topics we have covered so far. Think of this as your walking survival guide!
To help greatly increase this figure, we have been putting together a series of resources to help you be prepared, if an emergency arises when you are out enjoying the beautiful British countryside. It showed that only a tiny 5% of the 256 mountain users asked, knew who to call in an emergency when walking in the hills. The campaign behind our “Walking Safety Guide” is based on a survey put together by the Mountaineering Council of Scotland. Over the past couple of months, we have been working on a campaign to improve the awareness and knowledge of walkers and hikers around the world so that they are fully equipped for any emergency situation, whilst out and about. At Great Outdoors Superstore we know that walking isn’t an extreme sport, but it can be a dangerous one!
