Peak District Packing List - Clothing

 PEAK DISTRICT PACKING LIST - CLOTHING





**In the winter I wear several tee-shirts under my thicker fleeces to stay warm. In the summer I wear something with long sleeves to protect me from bites and scratches.

**I always wear them; I need the extra pockets to put stuff in.

**I don't own any of the specialist equipment listed in the next three items - I don't need them for my day walks which I only do when the weather's decent.

**I always take gloves with me although I rarely wear them - they're impractical for taking photographs or handling my map.

**I'm not sure what a buff or neck gaiter is - I usually wear a scarf in the cold weather though.

**Yes, I always take a hat although quite often it remains in my rucksack.

**I always take a spare pair of socks, on a couple of occasions they've come in handy when I've needed to do emergency repairs to my boots in order to get to the nearest bus stop.

**I suppose by waterproof trousers they mean overtrousers. I take a pair to put on over my walking trousers if they're particularly muddy, only after completing the walk though and before I get on the bus.

**There's pair in one of the pouches of my rucksack.
