Some extra precautions are needed if you are to enjoy winter walking. Remember that daylight hours are shorter and walking conditions can be difficult. Your plan should not be too ambitious. Carry some extra clothing. In conditions of snow and ice each member of the party should carry an ice axe and know how to use it. Boots are essential for winter conditions, with soles and uppers which are rigid enough to prevent distorting on hard snow slopes.
