None of the walks in this book are perilous, but anyone can have a fall or an accident. In case of emergency, call 112. If you know your GPS location simply give it to the call centre. Rescue from the higher peaks is by helicopter; for non-emergencies walk into a local health centre and you will be seen. Minor problems are treated free of charge at health centres but you should be prepared to show your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). (British people can apply for an EHIC here: www.gov.uk/european-health-insurance-card; those from other EU countries should consult the relevant government website.) Pharmacies also deal with minor injuries.

Consider taking out general-purpose travel insurance that covers walking activities before you leave home.

DOS AND DON’TS

 Never, ever light a fire in the countryside.

 Take all your rubbish with you (but fruit peels and organic waste are fine to bury).

 If you go through a closed gate, close it behind you. In general, leave gates as they are found.
