What to bring.

Comfortable walking boots/shoes are required for this walk. The route is mostly flat, but there will be some points where we will need to walk up hill, and this trek is known to be very muddy!

Drinking water is essential. There are parts of the walk where there will be long distances and no shops to buy supplies.

Lunch and snacks. We will plan for rest breaks throughout the walk but please bring a pack lunch with you as there may not be any opportunity to purchase food when we take our lunch break.
