Plan your route

The key to any successful walking holiday is a well-planned route, so ensure that you know exactly where you are heading before your set off. Be realistic about how much distance you can cover in the time that you have available to you, and don't forget to incorporate rest days too. Not only will your body thank you, you'll also be able to take the opportunity to explore the area you have been walking through.

 

Pack layers

Your walking holiday is going to take place solely in the great outdoors, so it is vital that you pack clothes that will be suitable whatever the weather decides to do. It is always a good idea to check the weather forecast in advance but it could be changeable, so packing layers, a waterproof coat, and lightweight trousers will mean that you are prepared for anything.

 

Purchase walking boots

It is important that your feet are comfortable throughout your walking holiday, so buying a good pair of walking boots is integral in making sure that your trip is a success. Purchase your boots early so that you have time to wear them in, and choose a pair that are half a size bigger than you normally would as your feet may swell with the heat as you walk.

 

Take lots of photos

As with any holiday, you will want to remember the amazing time that you had while you were away, so don't forget to take lots of photos of all of your favourite sights during your walking holiday.
