Clothing and Footwear

Wear the right gear to make walking enjoyable and safe.

• Always bring a waterproof jacket
• Wear walking boots or shoes suitable for use on rough ground
• Bring plenty of food and liquids
• Additional items you might need for walking in the hills:
  • Map and compass, with the ability to use them
  • Warm clothing, plus a hat and gloves are essential all year round
  • A sun hat to protect you from strong sun
  • Waterproof overtrousers, a torch, whistle, personal first aid kit, survival bag and high energy food are also important
  • Hill walkers find walking poles useful, especially when descending hills
  • NB. Jeans are not usually good walking gear. They are heavy, become even heavier when wet, and become uncomfortable. For easy walks sports trouser or light walking trousers are best
