1. Make sure your walking boots are broken-in before you start
  2. Carry and drink plenty of water
  3. Walking can be tiring; remember to carry a couple of snacks to boost you on your way
  4. Hiking poles are a good idea as some of the paths are rocky and steep
  5. Take plasters for any emerging blisters
  6. Wear layers
  7. Carry a light, waterproof jacket as it can rain a lot and suddenly on the coast!
  8. A cap will protect your head from the sun (and rain!)
  9. Mobile signal can be erratic; please make sure there is someone who knows your whereabouts and a rough time of arrival at your destination
  10. Wear a GPS-tracker so that you can be located in the event of an emergency and you can also use it to raise help
