know? | What shall I wear?
Stout shoes or boots are best as some
of the tracks go over wet and rough ground. Take waterproofs in case it
rains. What else should I take?
A drink and a snack would be
handy. It's a good excuse to stop for a rest and admire the view. Can I take my dog?
Yes, but always keep it under close
control or on a lead if there are sheep. Should I keep to the tracks?
Yes, keep to the routh shown
and remember that you'll be walking through other peoples workplaces (farming,
forestry etc). What else should I know?
Check your map and routh before
you go - can you make it?
If alone, let someone know where you are
going.

Code and take notice of any signs along the way. Back to Things to
