What should I take on a day event?
Here's a list of the kind of things you should be taking for a typical day's walk with the group. Day walks vary quite a lot in their level of difficulty, have a word with the organiser if you in any doubt about equipment required.
- A small rucksack / daypack
- Walking boots
- Walking socks
- Jumper or fleece
- Waterproofs
- Packed lunch
- Water bottle
- Hat
- Sun cream & sun glasses (summer only!)
Though we often make a lunch stop at or near a pub, don't turn up for a day walk relying on getting a pub lunch without checking with the organiser first. Also remember how quickly the weather can change - however sunny it may look in the morning you might still be diving for your waterproofs before the end of the day!
