While it would be easiest to travel light, don't be tempted to put your safety
at risk. It is up to you to decide what risks to take.
Standard equipment
Good quality, comfortable walking boots are essential for an endurance challenge
of this level, as are good walking socks. Suitable boots should be able to
be worn all day with no discomfort.

all of the below, ideally with a water bladder.
- Water
- Map and compass
- Headtorch
- Waterproofs
- Spare socks
- Mobile phone / radio
Six Peaks Challenge maps
Optional equipment
- Camera
- Walking poles

Nutrition
Depending on your preferences, you'll either want to take a couple of litres
of water or perhaps a sports drink with you. While you may wish to take
small snacks for each mountain to keep yourself going, it would be advisable to
have your drivers prepare a meal for your return to the car.
