- Clothing will obviously depend on the time of year and the nature of the walk. We would recommend the following items:
- Strong boots with walking socks. (Trainers are not suitable except on short walks in good weather).
- Waterproof jacket.
- Warm trousers, preferably waterproof and/or with gaiters in bad weather.
- Hat and gloves in Winter.
- Spare sweater or fleece.
- A rucksack to carry spare items.
- A packed lunch, drinks and snacks (biscuits, chocolate, fruit etc.)
- On coach trips we ask all passengers to bring spare footwear to change into as it is not acceptable to get onto the coach in muddy boots.
- A change of clothing may be appropriate for use after the walk.
- Additional items to consider may include:
- walking poles.
- small first aid kit.
- map and compass.
- torch.
- whistle.
- mobile phone.
- GPS.
In severe snow and ice conditions in high level areas, the leader may suggest that participants should bring crampons.
