Course Information
Here are a few equipment
tips to help make sure you
remember your challenge
for the right reasons.
Look after your feet. Start
off by getting a good pair
of boots which fit you.
They should be suitable
for the kind of walking you
plan on doing – the
rougher the terrain, the
heavier duty the boot you
will need. Also think about socks; most people use a very thin pair under a thicker
pair to help prevent blisters.
Dress properly. What you need depends on the time of year and conditions –and
remember these conditions may be completely different up the hill to what they
were when you left the car. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer then add
insulating and windproof layers on top. Pack a waterproof outer layer, and maybe
a hat and gloves.
Food and drink. Keep fuelled up and you’ll keep on striding, so remember to pick
up a packed lunch but bring a few snacks and plenty of fluids.
Be prepared if things go wrong. Every walker should carry some kind of
emergency kit. We recommend a torch, a spare warm layer, some personal first aid
supplies, and some extra food are also essential
Carry it all comfortably. You’ll need a bag to throw everything in, but it doesn’t
need to be too big.
No pre requisites. Participants must be able to complete the participation agreement and have a reasonable level of fitness
