I walked 78 miles around the Capital Ring Walk over 4 days, staying in accommodation along the way.
I was really pleased with everything I took so made a video about it.
Tweak the list to suit your route and duration.
I have included links to the majority of items.
I hiked the route in the summer (it was a heatwave!) so didn’t need any warm clothing.
I have added an * to warm gear that you may want to consider.
