Going to the lake district in April, hoping to 'bag some peaks'
What's the minimum amount of safety equipment? Not planning anything requiring climbing/scrambling, just steep hiking should be enough.
Currently bringing whistles, spare batteries, small first aid kit, compass, map, torches etc and a workmate has offered to lend me his blizzard bag, but wondered if there was anything else? I know it's impossible to plan for everything, but if shit happens and we have to call someone to save us I don't want them to side eye me because I didn't take some essential and commonly available piece of kit with us that would have saved them the bother.
