Don’t Get Caught Out in the Cold!
Know What You Need
We’ve tried to take the complication out of walking. You might’ve seen some people around Edinburgh or on trips with enough kit to brave the Himilayas mid-winter, but you really don’t need all that much to get started. See our essential gear list to find out what you need to pick up to make it on a trip, and what extra items might make your trip easier or more comfortable.
Spend What You Can
Hillwalking shouldn’t be prohibitively expensive, and our club believes in helping you afford the hobby in any way we can. Click the button below for a list of resources to help you buy gear for cheaper, rent gear from a trusted store, or borrow it from someone locally.
