 Respect the mountain environment – be conservation minded

On Mull it is vital to be properly equipped and to walk within your capabilities and experience; self-sufficiency is especially important here. There is no mountain rescue service on Mull – the nearest is in Oban. So, the consequences of an accident may well be far worse than if rescue was closer to hand. Be well prepared.

In the event of an accident, telephone the police, but bear in mind, too, that mobile phone reception on Mull is neither extensive nor reliable.
