A First Aid Kit

A first aid kit is essential in case you have a minor accident and need plasters or something similar. You should also make sure you pack an adequate supply of any medication you have to take.

A Hat

If the sun is blaring down you will need a hat to protect your head and eyes. Without one, you may not be able to see properly and that could cause you to fall. It can also be the reason for headaches.

In the cooler months you may need a warmer hat to keep your heat in, as we lose a lot of body heat through our heads.

Paper Maps

These will not take up much room and could be a lifesaver. We are all so reliant on technology they are often forgotten. If you get lost in an area that has no Internet reception, your navigation app will not be much use. The paper maps are meant as a back up in if this situation happens.

Water and Snacks

People often underestimate how long it will take to walk from one place to another, and perhaps are thinking they will pick up food and drink at their next destination. That is fine is nothing goes wrong, but what if it does? What if you sprain an ankle, for instance, and need help for the rest of the way? That will slow everyone down and without water and snacks you may find it harder to carry on. Even if nothing goes wrong, you should always keep hydrated and your energy levels high, so these are vital every day of your walking holiday.
