When I hike we usually go about a mile every 20 minutes. Bring snacks, and lots of water. Nothing will ruin a hike like being thirsty the whole time. Of course it's also dangerous. I usually take a bag or two of m&ms and some trailmix/nuts. I don't know what the hikes are like over there, but here hiking boots are pretty much a necessity. You're feet would just die without them. Also water.

  • I've got boots and I'm generally good for kit, I'm in the process of buying what I think I'll need, I'll be taking 3Litres of water with me so I think that should hopefully do. I want to really get into Hiking so this is just the start.

  • I'd go hike some with what you already have before you buy a bunch of stuff. For a 5 hour hike you don't need to be all geared up. It would suck to buy a bunch of stuff, then decide hiking isn't really your thing.

  • Oh no I will love it I'm sure, I'm really into my excercise and I live next to a bit of countryside, I take the dog for a long walk every day, I'm getting into this because I wanna climb a few mountains eventually so I can turn a small hobby into a bit more of a challenge. Plus it's more exercise :)

  • That's great, but I still wouldn't go all out on your first hike. Even if you do like it, you'll be able to make better purchases knowing exactly what you need.

  • That's the idea, to be honest I've only bought the cheapest kit anyway, as I go further into it I plan to buy more/better but I haven't spent much.
