Clothing to bring
Clothing, from head to toe:
• Hiking boots. These are a hiker's best friend. They must have three qualities: sturdiness, good foot and ankle support (high-top boots), and waterproofing. Choose boots with non-slip and relatively rigid soles, such as Vibram.
• Light shoes (tennis shoes or sandals) to put on in the evening.
• Swimming shoes, swimsuit (May/June)
• Underwear. This is your first layer of insulation, so make sure it's good! Thin technical fibers, like Carline or Polartec, are very effective, warm, flexible, comfortable, and lightweight. They dry very quickly.
• Trousers suitable for riding
100% waterproof rainwear!
