Lincolnshire Walking Group

Dress for the conditions. Remember the weather can change rapidly, especially on high ground and in winter. As a rough guideline, we recommend the following:

• Good comfortable walking boots or waterproof walking trainers
• Warm clothing with plenty of layers
• Comfortable walking trousers (jeans are not recommended, uncomfortable when wet and take too long to dry)
• Rucksack containing:
  
  • Waterproof jacket
  • Waterproof over trousers
  • Gloves, hat and scarf
  • Packed lunch
  • Water (hot drinks are recommended in winter)
  • A small first-aid kit for cuts, bites and blisters
  • In winter you may wish to consider carrying a torch and a reflective belt

Getting kitted out need not cost a fortune. Your Ramblers membership card may entitle you to a discount in many outdoor shops, it's always worth asking.
