Sun safety advice from the experts
Long days outdoors mean high UV exposure. When the UV Index is 3+, protect yourself with tight weave clothing, a wide brim hat, SPF30+ sunscreen and sunglasses. Sunburn can ruin your DofE adventure, and lead to melanoma - download your free Sunguarding Outdoors toolkit to help you stay sun safe.
