What to bring on walks.

WHAT NOT TO BRING ON WALKS

Please do not wear jeans: if it rains, they get cold and heavy and don’t dry quickly. They will spoil your enjoyment of the walk. Similarly trainers are not suitable on almost all walks: they provide no ankle support over rocky terrain, they will not keep your feet dry and you could lose them in the mud. They could prove harmful to your well-being.
