Practical mountain advice
What to pack for a guided hike
A well-prepared rucksack keeps you comfortable without making the day unnecessarily tiring.
Water and food
Carry enough water for the weather and route, a picnic for a full day and a few easy-to-eat snacks.
Weather protection
Bring a waterproof jacket, a warm layer, sun hat, sunglasses and sun cream, even when the forecast looks settled.
Footwear
Wear comfortable walking shoes with a grippy sole that you have already used.
Keep it simple
Follow the equipment list for your chosen hike and avoid carrying items you will not need.
