The number of incidents has increased over the years, and now seems to have stabilised at about 70 per year.

Most incidents occur in the afternoon. May be as walkers are descending, and may be tired and more prone to accidents.

The most likely injuries are lower leg fractures and sprains, usually from slips and trips.

What can we learn from our incident statistics? We recommend following the advice from Adventure Smart 

• Do I have the right gear?
• Do I know what the weather will be like?
• Am I confident I have the knowledge and skills for the day?
