Whiteout

My friend and I were walking on a snowy plateau in the hills of Scotland when a cloud enveloped us. Suddenly everything was white and it was very surreal. Knowing where you are in this situation is essential.

A map is essential for any trip especially in the hills. I remember climbing Yr Garn with my husband many years ago. The weather was absolutely fine until we neared the top, then we were in thick fog. There was a very steep gully to our left called 'The Devi's Staircase, so Adrian veered right knowing it was much safer that way. When we eventually came down a bit further to see where we were, there was an unrecognizable (at first) mountain tarn in view. Quite frightening really.
