Kit List: Mountain Hikes in the UK
When I first got into mountain hiking, each time I went out I pushed up the difficulty – travelling further, climbing higher, taking harder routes. Some risks increase gently, such as when you start increasing the distance that you hike. However, other risks increase more significantly, such as when you first start scrambling and taking ridge routes. I was also fairly confident that I wasn’t going to be a summer hiker, but that I’d want to handle some difficult routes during the winter too.
