If you're interested in getting your own navigation equipment or guide book these may be a good place to start:
Walking boots come in all shapes and sizes. For our walks we expect members to wear ankle supporting boots suited to the wet welsh weather.
Walking boots should be comfortable for all day use. Have a tough flexible sole. Firmly support the ankle. Be as water proof as possible!
