UK Walking holiday, what do I need?

Walking holidays have become very popular over the recent years, with more and more people visiting the UK countryside than ever before. 

Comfortable walking boots are the most important item as you will be in these most days.  Choose a pair that fit comfortably with thick socks.

Mobile phone and charger.  You can purchase chargers that have a solar panel, so you can charge your phone whilst walking.

Map and Map holder.  These hang around your neck meaning your arms are free to use a walking pole or help you over styles.

Clothing including waterproofs as you never know what weather you will get.

Spare socks are essential as you never know when you might have to walk through a stream

Sun Protection and hat

Hat and gloves

Within your First Aid kit you will need:

Torch, whistle, hand sanitiser, painkillers, plasters, sting relief cream, antihistamines
