Before attempting any of the walks you should equip yourself with a suitable map as the maps accompanying these walking instructions are intended only as a guide. You should have a map of at least 1:50000 scale, such as the Ordnance Survey Landranger but better still is the Ordnance Survey Explorer Map (sheet 290) at a scale of 1:25000. You should also ensure that you are properly attired, with suitable footwear, and waterproof clothing if there is a threat of rain.
