The hiking checklist
Unsure what to take on a hike? Don't know what to wear out walking? Our hiking checklist will help you get kitted out with essential gear for a long day on the trail.
GetOutside was founded by Ordnance Survey, to help more people to get outside more often
It sits at the heart of everything we do, as we firmly believe an active outdoor lifestyle helps you live longer, stay younger and enjoy life more.
As the world starts to open up, how you feel is personal to you. We all have to do what's right for our circumstances and getting outside is somewhere many of us like to escape to.
To keep everyone safe and happy, please continue to check local guidance before travelling, be considerate of others and leave nothing but footprints.
