Take care on the trail today. There are some sections of path that are difficult underfoot. Slippery logs, steep areas of ascent and descent make for harder going. Keep concentrating on where you put your feet, and take your time, particularly if it is wet.
Weather conditions can change quickly in the mountains - always be prepared and carry appropriate clothing; warm as well as waterproof layers, hat and gloves etc. Please see your information pack for a detailed packing list.
