The main risk is being caught out in the open in bad weather and not being suitably equipped. The weather can change rapidly.
For walks of any lenght take the following: - good footwear: paths are often wet and boggy- waterproof jacket and trousers- warm clothing: a spare fleece or jumper, gloves and a hat
and always tell someone responsible where you're going. Note that in large areas there is no mobile phone reception.
