What should I wear?

- Footwear. Blisters hurt like hell, so it's very important to get your footwear right. First and foremost, whatever you wear for a walk should be comfortable and have been moulded to your feet and your way of walking by having been worn many times before. In dry weather trainers are fine, though they may not keep your feet dry if it gets muddy. If you intend walking regularly it's worth investing in a good pair of walking boots, which will also keep your feet dry in all weathers.

- Against the cold. Bear in mind it may be several degrees colder on a windy hilltop than it is in the city, and if it comes on to rain the temperature will drop several degrees more. Wear several layers, eg T-shirt plus sweatshirt plus warm sweater plus (essential!) a coat to keep out the wind. And wear a cap; it's important to keep your head warm.
