Hillwalking Safety - The Countryside Code @ Hillwalking.org.uk

Whilst it may all sound like common sense to most sane intelligent people out there, it was deemed necessary to come up with a code telling us how to behave, so there must be one or two of us out there that need telling :O)

• Enjoy the countryside and respect its life and work.
• Guard against all risks of fire.
• Fasten all gates.
• Keep your dogs under close control.
• Keep to public paths across farmland.
• Use gates and stiles to cross fences, hedges and walls.
• Leave livestock, crops and machinery alone.
• Take your litter home.
• Help to keep all water clean.
• Protect wildlife, plants and trees.
• Take special care on country roads.
• Make no unnecessary noise.
