ESSENTIALS

 Good footwear – either lightweight boots or shoes, for those absolutely confident about wearing them, or heavier boots if you need them.

 Sock combination – try something like Bridgedales, with a dedicated Coolmax liner sock

 Clothing combination – polyester or polycotton, which is better than all-cotton for comfort, and dries quickly after washing

 Sun protection – those who burn easily should use light-coloured long sleeved/legged clothing and a sun hat

 Sunscreen – the sun can be very strong in the mountains and your skin can be burnt quite easily

 Waterproofs – a lightweight jacket is sufficient; trousers aren’t necessary, but carry them if preferred

 Windproofs – a lightweight jacket is useful, but may be classed as optional, and your waterproof might suffice

 Rucksack – should be big enough to carry everything, and no more, and of course it should be comfortable

 Sleeping bag – a lightweight one is sufficient, as it will never get too cold in the summer months, and one is needed even if staying in refuges
