Greg's Trainers!

Luggage and bags: If you are camping - beware of the ants and keep anything sweet out of your tent.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Walking on the dunes is best done bare-footed, try not to bring anything that will be ruined by sand (there is loads of the stuff!).

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: If you plan a lot of walking - plasters to help heal those blisters.

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: A firm sleeping mat is always essential for those long nights under the canvas. Don't forget to peg your tent down well- it may be a very pleasant day - but the wind can pick up quickly in the night!

Dress warm.

Luggage and bags: You dont really need a back pack, as it would become an additional burden for the climb.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It is cold up there, especially in winter. So, go with a good jacket.

Photo Equipment: Camera is a must.
