There are steep descents and ascents on this walk and walking poles are recommended, along with stout footwear, as the terrain will vary considerably.  As this is a high moorland walk the weather can change rapidly and be cooler than at lower altitudes and waterproof gear is a must. 

Please also bring good supplies of food and drink and completed ICE cards.
