Below is our suggested kit list for the event, we strongly recommend you purchase sturdy walking boots which have been fitted and worn a few times before the hike. The terrain is uneven, and the boots will provide you with essential support throughout the hike.
- Sturdy Walking Boots (trainers are not suitable)
- Walking socks - we recommend 2 pairs of woollen socks so you can change half-way through
- Waterproofs – you can never tell what the weather will be like!
- Rucksack – we recommend one with straps to help distribute the weight
- Walking poles – these are a great help with the hills!
- Walking trousers, prevent chaffing and allow movement when climbing hills
- Wicking Top
- Fleece
- Waterproof/Sun Hat
- Warm gloves if weather is cold
- Camel pack or refillable water bottle
- Blister plasters, Zinc Oxide tape, Vaseline
Don’t forget your tartan accessories!
