Kit
For your own safety and enjoyment everything you take on an expedition needs to be reliable and fit for purpose.
You will need to have a good pair of waterproof walking boots, socks, non-cotton base layers and some other inexpensive everyday items of clothing (eg cap/sun hat, fleece). If you need to buy anything, please ask for advice via the Contact page.
