It took quite a while to decide what to take with us and as long distance hiking had been completely new to us, we at first checked the website of Bear Grylls.This man exactly knows how to deal with the wilderness and what you need. Much to our regret though, this was not very helpful and so we finally decided to bring the following items:

• One pocket flask each for Malt and Ramazzotti
[Info Malt]
[Info Ramazzotti]


• The outdoor guide by Hartmut Engel.
  Der Weg ist das Ziel/The journey ist the reward. Scotland West Highland Way
  [Info]



• The West Highland Way Map
  [Info]



• A compass
  To define the direction.
  
  
  
• Midges Net
  We have not been able to find an other corresponding information for this than the following documentary film...





• Perskindol
  [Info]



• The things you usually carry with you.
  
like toilet bags, trekking towel, toilet paper, torch light, sun lotion, sun glasses, water bottle, muesli bar, spare shoelace, etc......
