A pair of walking boots (essential )
A rucksack to hold your gear
A waterproof jacket (to protect you from the wind and rain)
A fleece jacket
Outdoor trousers
Hat and gloves
Water is important to carry with you to keep you hydrated throughout the day
A packed lunch and a supply of snacks to last you the day
A walking pole is useful, and a whistle and plastic survival bag should ideally be carried for emergencies.
Also, a pair of gaiters, overtrousers and spare clothing, are optional but often desirable when walking in higher altitudes or in inclement weater.
A small personal first aid kit is also recommended: plasters, gauze, antiseptic ointment and the like - blisters can sometimes occur when walking in boots that you have worn without problems for years
