As well as your normal walking kit, here’s a list of items we’d recommend that you consider carrying as a walk leader on a group walk. What you need to take on the day will depend on the walk, the weather and the season. Make sure things like extra clothing and electronics are in a waterproof bag so they are dry when you need to use them. And bringing spare items is always a good idea in case something gets damaged or lost.
