🥾 Hiking & trails

What to pack

• Broken-in walking shoes or boots - Grip and ankle support matter more than looks; never hike in brand-new boots. Find on Amazon →
• Layers + a waterproof shell - Mountain weather turns fast; a packable rain jacket saves the day. Find on Amazon →
• Daypack with rain cover - 20-30 litres holds water, snacks, layers and a first-aid kit. Find on Amazon →
• Offline maps + a power bank - Download the trail before you lose signal; carry backup charge. Find on Amazon →
• Sun protection - Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen - sun is stronger at altitude and on open ridges. Find on Amazon →
• Trekking poles - Save your knees on long descents and steep, loose ground. Find on Amazon →
• Head torch - For early starts, caves and any chance of finishing after dark. Find on Amazon →
