Everyone needs to be adventure smart

The Lake District Visitor Safety Group has teamed up with Mosaic Outdoors again for its 2023Adventure Smart group
campaign: #BeAdventureSmart. Three new videos are being launched this week ahead of the May Bank Holidays.  These inclusive films provide important advice to enable everyone who ventures onto the fells and in the lakes, to enjoy the outdoors safely and return at the end of the day to regale their tales.


This rush to enjoy outdoor activities such as hillwalking, mountain biking, stand-up paddleboarding, sit-on-top kayaking, swimming outdoors or just picnicking by the water's edge will result in happy memories for many but some who are unprepared and ill-informed for their adventure may find themselves in difficulty requiring rescue by the increasingly busy emergency services. www.adventuresmart.uk is a one-stop-shop for all the information people need to stay safe in the outdoors whatever their chosen activity.

Adventure Smart groupOver 100 organisations with an interest in outdoor recreation and tourism are partners in the  national campaign, AdventureSmart UK.

The campaign asks people to #beadventuresmart and make their good day better by taking some simple actions to help them enjoy our hills and countryside safely.

The AdventureSmart advice for everyone heading out to explore the Lake District this summer is; #BeAdventureSmart

Make your good day better by asking yourself 3 questions:

1. Am I confident I have the KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS for the day?
2. Do I know what the WEATHER will be like?
3. Do I have the right GEAR?
….and if things do go wrong, make sure you know how and when to get help.
#BeAdventureSmart, if you find someone in trouble: don’t put yourself at risk. In an emergency call;

  • Inland: 999 – ask for the police and then the Mountain Rescue
  • Inland waters: 999 – ask for Fire and Rescue Service
  • Sea and coastal area: 999 – ask for the Coastguard
