I am wanting to get into mountaineering.

I am a keen snowboarder and through this I have found a love for the outdoors and being high in the hills and mountains.

However, I am clueless when it comes getting started. Me and my girlfriend want to start walking in the summer to gain experience and confidence. We are thinking of a few Scottish munros. But we do not yet want to get into the climbing vertical rock faces. Just walks and a few scrabbles will suffice for the moment.

Any pointers and advice of how to start? Obviously we need the right clothing, footwear, food and water and maybe a tent. Also, do you simply pick a mountain and start walking up or should you plan the walk to avoid unnecessary climbing that we would like to avoid?

Any pointers and advice will be great.

Thank you
