Dedication

My son, Martin, and my wife, Vivienne, accompanied me on a number of the walks. But it was my brother-in-law Jonathan Young, who regularly drove over from Abergele in north Wales to accompany me on most of them, and contrived to break his wrist, badly injure his head and lose his watch on one walk in the Peak District. So, I dedicate the book to him, with grateful thanks for his company and unfailing determination to enjoy every last step of the way.

Advice to Readers

While every effort is made by our authors to ensure the accuracy of guidebooks as they go to print, changes can occur during the lifetime of an edition. If we know of any, there will be an Updates tab on this book’s page on the Cicerone website (www.cicerone.co.uk), so please check before planning your trip. We also advise that you check information about such things as transport, accommodation and shops locally. Even rights of way can be altered over time. We are always grateful for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground, sent by email to info@cicerone.co.uk or by post to Cicerone, 2 Police Square, Milnthorpe LA7 7PY, United Kingdom.

Warning

Mountain walking can be a dangerous activity carrying a risk of personal injury or death. It should be undertaken only by those with a full understanding of the risks and with the training and experience to evaluate them. While every care and effort has been taken in the preparation of this guide, the user should be aware that conditions can be highly variable and can change quickly, materially affecting the seriousness of a mountain walk. Therefore, except for any liability which cannot be excluded by law, neither Cicerone nor the author accept liability for damage of any nature (including damage to property, personal injury or death) arising directly or indirectly from the information in this book.

To call out the Mountain Rescue, ring 999 or the international emergency number 112: this will connect you via any available network. Once connected to the emergency operator, ask for the police.

International Distress Signal

The recognised distress signal is six whistle blasts (or torch flashes in the dark) spread over one minute, followed by a minute’s pause. Repeat until an answer is received (which will be three signals per minute followed by a minute’s pause).
