line or as a substitute for snapped hiking boot laces. 2. A spoon will do the job Any form of hiking requires you to pack light, but when hiking at high altitudes its especially important. Your body has a lot to deal with in often hostile mountain conditions, so its essential to avoid any unnecessary

camping outside could see a warning issued. In addition, this means that while light snow on the tops of mountains in the north of the UK would be unlikely to create significant impacts so wouldn’t warrant a warning, that same level of snow in a city further south, where this weather is less common

year in June/July as light levels increase due to the longer days. This image comes from the NOAA/NASA Suomi-NPP satellite which is a polar orbiting satellite which collects data while circling the Earth passing over the north and south poles. One of the images we can create from this data is a true

of the Earth’s atmosphere and surface. Objects that reflect most light, such as cloud, appear whiter than objects that reflect less light, such as land. Thicker clouds appear whiter than thinner clouds. The scale on the legend indicates albedo (or reflectivity) on a scale from 0 to 1. Visible satellite

gear I carry items such as extra water, a snow shovel, towels, an extra jacket and sometimes a sleeping bag. Days on site can also sometimes be shorter due to the health and safety aspect of the failing light.  This means more time working from home which requires an extra level of self-discipline to ensure I remain undistracted by the familiarity of being at home.  

1. The speed of lightning While the flashes we see as a result of a lightning strike travel at the speed of light (670,000,000 mph) an actual lightning strike travels at a comparatively gentle 270,000 mph. This means it would take about 55 minutes to travel to the moon, or around 1.5 seconds to get
