Walking Tours > What to Bring

List of What to Bring

  • Cameras and film
  • Comfortable thick soled walking shoes with good grip affording solid ankle support
  • Wide brimmed hat
  • Sunglasses
  • Sunscreen
  • Long pants, preferably loose fitting, lightweight and quick drying cotton pants and not jeans
  • Short pants, preferably light weight and quick drying
  • T-shirts
  • Long sleeved shirts, loose fitting and easy to dry
  • Long sleeved woollen sweater or polypropylene fleece jacket
  • Several pairs of woollen socks, cotton is not ideal as it does not reduce friction and does not keep feet warm
  • Woollen or polypropylene hat
  • Thermal top and bottom, preferably 2 pairs, one for day use and another to wear after the days activity
  • Gloves
  • Rainjacket, preferably one which breathes and does not "sweat"
  • Casual shoes for wearing after a days walking to give your feet some welcome relief
  • Swimmers/bathers
  • Towel
  • Torch
  • Shower footwear; ie, thongs
  • Personal effects; ie medication, bathroom needs, and reading material
  • Walking sticks.  These are becoming increasingly popular as they assist enormously in giving a sense of balance and increased confidence and help prevent falls
  • A soft bag for your luggage instead of a hard covered suitcase.  Suitcases are difficult to pack away and manoeuvre
  • A small bottle of water for the beginning of the journey on the coach.  Keeping yourself hydrated is very important and helps maintain your personal well being.
  • A sense of adventure, curiosity and fun
