Listed below is the basic kit I suggest you bring with you for a Nav & Natter. Due to the nature of the sessions there is more stopping and starting than a normal walk, so it is worth bringing extra layers. Do feel free to contact me before the session if you have any concerns or queries regarding kit.
- Walking boots/trail shoes (trainers not recommended)
- Small rucksack (18-20 litres)
- Wicking base layer (Cotton not recommended)
- Warm layers eg. Fleece/insulated jacket

- Waterproof jacket and trousers
- Warm hat/sunhat/gloves
- Water – 1 litre Winter, 2 litre summer (for full day)
- Packed lunch (full day)
- High energy snacks
- Personal 1st Aid Kit
(Cathy holds a 2 day Outdoor First Aid qualification and will be carrying a comprehensive first aid kit).
Optional
