Clear - sunny - good visibility / Strong wind (DLOG)
| Location and role: | Wales, Brecon Beacons. Ridge leading to “Pen y Fan”. Solo walker. |
|---|---|
| Activity and conditions: | Some navigation training, followed by nice traverse via small paths on ridges. Was completely alone until I reached Pen y Fan, where I met the “Instagram caravan”. Returned via byways. Severe wind chill on the mountains. |
| Decisions and experience: | Started later than usual to allow wind to decrease. Climbed mountain using a bearing, starting from gate which was missing on the map - and hit plateau straight away. Learned lesson that the length of improvised walks must be planned more accurately if buses only run every two hours. |

| Location and role: | England, Lake District. Long-distance trail “Coast-to-Coast Walk”. Solo walker. |
|---|---|
| Activity and conditions: | Walking on paths, and a bit of light scrambling. |
| Decisions and experience: | Discovered Helvellyn mountain on the map, was intrigued and changed the route accordingly. Then found Striding Edge and scrambled along, a few meters below the top because I was alone. Decided to leave the ridge when the scrambling grew too tough. Learned about changing plans en route. |

| Location and role: | Scotland, Scottish Highlands. Long-distance trail “West Highland Way”. Lead a friend of mine. |
|---|---|
| Activity and conditions: | Technically, this was a winter hill walk. The paths were good and relatively wide. |
| Decisions and experience: | Second time I lead in winter conditions. I learned, a lot as terrain and conditions were quite different from those of the day before. In comparison, navigation was definitely easier. |
