⚠️ STORM DAVE: STAY SAFE THIS EASTER WEEKEND ⚠️

We are keeping a close eye on the forecast as Storm Dave moves across the Lake District. With a Yellow Weather Warning for very strong winds in place for the Easter weekend, conditions on the fells are expected to be challenging and potentially dangerous.

What to expect on the fells:

* Hazardous Gusts: Exceptionally strong winds are forecast for exposed ridges and summits throughout the weekend.
* Severe Chill: Significant wind chill will make temperatures feel well below freezing, increasing the risk of hypothermia.
* Difficult Navigation: Heavy rain and potential snow on higher ground will severely limit visibility.

Our volunteers are always on standby, but we would much rather you stayed safe. If you are planning to head out, please:

1. Check the mountain forecast right before you leave—conditions are changing rapidly.
2. Be prepared to alter your plans. There is no shame in sticking to lower-level paths or turning back if the wind picks up.
3. Carry the right gear, including full waterproofs, multiple warm layers, and a map and compass (don’t rely solely on your phone!).

If the weather looks too wild, why not enjoy some of Keswick’s indoor attractions, coffee shops and pubs!

In an emergency on the fells: Dial 999, ask for the Police, and then Mountain Rescue.
