Clothing

Wear comfortable clothing that is easy to walk in. Wearing several thin layers is better than one thick layer – you can take a layer off if you get too hot and put it back on if you get chilly. If the weather looks changeable be prepared with a waterproof jacket. If you are walking in the countryside it may get muddy so don’t wear your best trousers!

Footwear

If you are walking in the city wear a pair of flat shoes or trainers. Walking boots are best for muddy conditions and will give your feet and ankles more support.

Socks

Cotton sport socks or walking socks are ideal as they absorb sweat and help to keep your feet dry, they will also prevent you from getting blisters.
