What do I need for hiking in cold and wet conditions

I don’t think hill walking and being outdoors should be saved for the warmer and drier months of the year.

What to take hill walking

Two tents pitched next to a loch in the Cairngorms. Cairngorms; wild camping; hill walking in Scotland; women; Scotland; what to wear hill walking; what to take Scotland hill walking; Highlands; mountains; hill walking cloths; what to take hill walking

What you might need for “summer” hillwalking and where to get it.

There are so many brilliant organisations and individuals supporting and encouraging people to get outdoors by sharing experiences, providing ideas of where to go, connecting with others, and showing us what’s possible.

Some favourite podcasts

For me, podcasts are another source of inspiration and learning. Like reading they have introduced me to new ideas and ways of thinking, wonderful people, and inviting places.

Reading

Reading about other women’s adventures, relationships with wild spaces and time outdoors has been an ongoing source of inspiration, giving me the confidence to get out there myself.
