- Make sure your walking boots are broken-in before you start
- Carry and drink plenty of water
- Walking can be tiring; remember to carry a couple of snacks to boost you on your way
- Hiking poles are a good idea as some of the paths are rocky and steep
- Take plasters for any emerging blisters
- Wear layers
- Carry a light, waterproof jacket as it can rain a lot and suddenly on the coast!
- A cap will protect your head from the sun (and rain!)
- Mobile signal can be erratic; please make sure there is someone who knows your whereabouts and a rough time of arrival at your destination
- 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
