We are all really keen to get back to the hills.  But before getting too excited, have a read of Mountaineering Scotland’s COVID-19 webpage and Phase 1 Guidance for a return to hill walking and climbing during COVID-19 (Published 28 May 2020).  The main points are:

• Stay local: Follow the current public health guidance for Scotland to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.
• Be prepared: Car parks, toilets and other facilities may remain closed.
• Be safe: Plan ahead and stay well within your limits – whatever your activity – to avoid the need for rescue and emergency services.
• Be considerate: Think about how your actions might impact on others and follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code at all times
