Essential food & clothing
You probably will want to come along to one or two hikes before spending money on getting the proper gear that is vital for regular walkers. Please remember that the weather in Dublin city in the morning can be very different from that in the mountains a few hours later, and therefore you must be prepared for cold or wet weather.
As a beginner to the group, the minimum that you should bring with you is:
- a pair of hiking boots with good grips
- a windproof rain jacket
- a fleece or woollen jumper
- warm gloves and hat
- a hot drink and food for lunch
- And, not to be forgotten, a complete & full change of warm clothes and dry shoes for after the hike
- A small sum of money for a drink at the end of the day
