START WITH THE ACTIVITY

Your practical kit checklist

Use this as a starting point, then adapt it to your route, season, accommodation and organiser requirements.

01

Sturdy hiking footwear

Test footwear and pack on hilly days before committing to remote stages.

02

Weather layers and a dependable pack

Carry weather layers, sufficient water capacity and basic emergency supplies for the specific stage.

03

Offline maps, water and basic emergency supplies

Store your offline route and key contact details in more than one accessible place.

CHOOSE WITH PURPOSE

Buy only what you actually need

Start with what you already own and test it on a similar training session or walking day. Fit, conditions and your stage plan matter more than a brand or price.

Check the current requirements

Kit lists, permitted equipment and conditions can change. Use the official information for your route or edition before travelling or buying anything.
