4 Information for Guests on BAE SYSTEMS Fell Walking Club Trips Extracts from the Safety Officer s guidelines Are you properly equipped? Do you have that all-important Map & Compass? Do you know how to use them properly? If you answered No to any of these questions, should YOU really go out on the fells? Our fell walking club rightly prides it self on having maintained an excellent safety record over the past years, indeed the Committee has always run the club with safety as its number one priority. However none of us can afford to become complacent and in order to maintain our excellent record, it cannot be overstated that members should remain diligent at all times by taking responsibility for their own, and the safety of others, on the fells. It is the Safety Officer s role to promote safe walking practice within the section, but with 2 coach s of people you can only go so far to question people such as "Are you sufficiently equipped?" "Dressed accordingly?" "Aware of the weather conditions for the day?" "Feel you can cope with one of the walks suggested on the sheet provided for the trip? More experienced walkers are free to plan their own route, on condition a route card, available from the coach leader, is filled in with the necessary details: alternative route, those participating, and on completion of the walk, the final pick up point. In all aspects of life, we try to be careful when going about our business or pleasure, sometimes no matter how careful we are accidents can still happen. As far as fell walking goes, if you are properly dressed and carrying the necessary equipment and feel that everything has been done to avoid the possibility of a mishap, no mountain rescue team will point the blame. Please remember, you owe yourself a duty of care when out fell walking, whatever the weather prospects or the terrain you encounter: "If you re geared up for the worst, you can cope with the worst". Safety is NOT an optional extra!
