Bring your own water and snacks beyond what the Welcome Pack provides, since the walk itself runs 2 to 3 hours in addition to the bus journey. Wear closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, since the activity is outdoors regardless of the forecast unless conditions become unsafe. If you are over 65, check the accident insurance terms before booking, since standard coverage does not extend past that age without your own policy.
