Stay safe in the hills and mountains.
Check the weather.
Plan your route.
Pack the right gear for the trip.
Let someone know your plans.
In an emergency call 999, ask for ‘Police’ then ‘Mountain Rescue’.

Conditions up in the hills are often very different to down in the valleys.
Our mountain safety partners encourage you to #BeAdventureSmart by following their tips before you head out.
Once in the hills, be flexible with your plans, keep an eye on the weather and be prepared to turn back if the conditions change. The hills will be there for you another day.

Great to see Oshen integrating elements of the Met Office & @exeter.ac.uk-developed MaLCOM framework into its C-Star mission planning capability. Combining persistent ocean observations with AI-enabled environmental intelligence turns local measurements into regional insight for better decisions.

"Combining advances in machine learning-based prediction with marine autonomy creates exciting new opportunities for how we measure and monitor the ocean, enabling rapidly updating regional environmental intelligence from hyper-sparse, reconfigurable observational networks to support real-time decision-making."
Edward Steele
It Fellow - Data Science, Met Office

"By bringing together complementary expertise from academia, government and industry, the project also demonstrates the value of collaborative innovation in developing, testing and deploying new capabilities at pace The approach has the potential to support a wide range of applications, including offshore energy, marine search and rescue, defence, and broader maritime operations."
