Walk to the top of the world • Are you taking on Trail’s Everest Anywhere challenge to climb the height of Everest in 2019? Here are some of this month’s star challengers, plus their total ascents so far this year.

Winter on THE BEN • Considering an ascent of Britain’s highest peak this winter? With the right gear and knowledge, it’s more manageable than you might think – even for a first-timer.

GETTING OFF THE BEN

GEARING UP FOR THE BEN

HIKING SCOTLAND’S VOLATILE ISLE • Walking in the mountains is proven to have a positive effect on mental health, but what happens when you push your body and mind to the extreme for a cause close to your heart? We head to the Isle of Arran to find out.

HIKE FOR MIND

LAKELAND IN YOUR POCKET • Trail meets the Lakeland author seen by many as the heir to Alfred Wainwright – whose new guidebook series could change the way we explore England’s highest mountains forever.

BEYOND BLENCATHRA • When you picture the Lake District’s wild Northern Fells, you probably see the iconic peaks of Skiddaw and Blencathra. But what your mind’s eye can’t spot is the secluded, and magnificent, collection of hills hiding behind them.

NORTHERN HIGHLIGHTS • Three icons of the Northern Fells you have to visit

THE DARK NIGHT • The universe is huge. If you want to get a really good look at it, you need to be in the right place, at the right time.

TIPS TO MAINTAIN NIGHT VISION

DARK SKY BRITAIN • The International Dark-Sky Association recognises three types of dark sky places in the UK. But what’s the difference between them?

ATTACK OF THE DRONES • Increasingly popular, lightweight and able to capture incredible images, drones can now be seen and heard in some of our wildest places. But is that always a good thing?

Nick Livesey • Mountain photographer and Director of Discover Secret Snowdonia

David Morris • RSPB Reserves Manager in Northern England

THE DRONE CODE

Tom Marshall • Acting Head of Communications, Peak District National Park

Tom Jacobs • UAV CAA Registered Pilot, Orbital Filming

SEA TO SUMMIT • As humans, doing things from scratch provides greater pleasure than being handed something on a plate. Think assembling a go-kart, building a treehouse or a baking a cake. But does the same work for climbing mountains? Trail starts at sea-level to find out…

OTHER MOUNTAINS YOU CAN CLIMB FROM SEA TO SUMMIT…

LAND OF FIRE & ICE • In a world of volcanoes, glaciers and constantly changing landscape, hiking in Iceland is an alien and intriguing experience.
