What to bring
- A small backpack with a waist strap (minimum 22L) to carry the items you need on the trail (e.g. snacks, water, protective layers and personal items)
- Wet weather gear in case of rain - a lightweight waterproof jacket with a hood is recommended
- A large water bottle or bladder (2.5-litre capacity recommended)
- Sturdy waterproof hiking boots with mid-to-high ankle support are recommended due to the uneven terrain; to avoid blisters, boots should be comfortable and worn in
- Comfortable, layered hiking clothing – we recommend long loose-fitting clothing for sun and wind protection and to shield your legs and arms from stray branches
- Gaiters or hiking pants are recommended
- Walking poles if you prefer to use them
- Change of clothes and lightweight shoes/sandals for evenings at the camps
- Suitable warm layers for cool evenings and early mornings
- Sleepwear, spare socks and underwear
- Sun protection, including a peaked or brimmed hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses
- Prescription glasses and/or any medication you may require (including an EPI pen)
- Personal toiletries in small containers, including insect repellent
- Your camera and/or mobile phone, chargers, a small torch, and spare batteries
- Bank card (or preferred device) for purchasing personal items and incidentals
