Paul Glendell www.glendell.co.uk Paul B6521. SK246779 Wear clothes which are comfortable and easy to walk in. Layers work well so you can remove a layer when you warm up and replace it when you cool down. It is also a good idea to pack a lightweight waterproof for sudden downpours and bring a bottle of water with you.

Wear sturdy and comfortable shoes. Proper walking boots may be needed for the longer walks, but the very easy walks do not need any special walking equipment.

During adverse weather conditions, for example, severe snow and ice, organised walks may be cancelled.

High Peak Walks for Health is a partnership between High Peak Borough Council, County Council’s Countryside Service, the National Park Authority, The National Trust and the NHS.
