You should make sure you are appropriately equipped for any walk. This will depend on the time of year. Check the weather forecast both before and on the day of the walk.

In general you will need warm and waterproof clothing, food and water, sunscreen and sunglasses and/or woolly hat and gloves as appropriate. Better to bring too many layers than to be cold.

While a lot of our walks are on smooth paths, we often cross rougher terrain and there's often mud.

Footwear depends on the walk you're doing. For walks that are in the countryside or in wilder areas you will need walking boots.
