Kit List
For all of our guided day hikes, the walk/hike leader, does carry all the essentials, including first aid kit in case of emergency. Howerver, for building your own kit list, below are some things that I beleive are essential, and other things optional, and also depending what time of year, where you are hiking, and who you are with, and also taking into consideration, the weather and the seasonal changes.
Firstly think about building your kit list by starting at your feet and work your way up and aim to purchase items good for a range of weathers, so, layering up is a good. I suggest to start with buying the essentails as a starting point and build your kit as you go. You will learn what you want and what you can live without as you grow in experiance.
