For those of us that spend a lot of time in the outdoors we understand the importance of having the right walking clothes at the right time.
Keep to light, loose fitting trousers, or shorts if it's warm enough. This will allow you much more space to move, whether it be clambering through a forest or woodland walk trying to tackles those tricky stiles or big farmyard gates that are too heavy to open, requiring you to climb over. After an embracing and invigorating walk it is also important to keep your muscles warm so having a good fleece to hand is highly recommendable with many of the new microfleeces are all about warmth without the weight.
Not only is walking an activity that is good for your health but it also gives you a fantastic opportunity get closer with nature, breathe in fresh air and take in the stunning scenery of the outdoors. While a few hours walk takes minimum effort and planning, if you're serious about walking you'll want to take longer and more exhilarating explorations. For these more demanding walking routes you'll need some preparation, training and to be fit.
Cotton clothing for walking should be avoided. Quick drying, breathable nylon walking clothing that wicks moisture away from your body is ideal in the spring and summer with layers of fleece for layers of warmth in the autumn and winter. Always carry a waterproof jacket that is also windproof to help you cope with the interchangeable weather in the UK.
