Gear and Packing List
This hiking gear and packing list has accumulated over many years of my outdoor activities. It’s by no means a complete list (because a lot would depend on your trip details), but it is a very extensive list of items that will be useful to you.
Tailor the gear and packing list based on the length and type of hiking trip for example; day hike, multiday thru-hike, backpacking, wild camping etc.
Below is a detailed checklist of items you may require when travelling around the UK (or even internationally). You can add or remove items from the checklist according to your personal requirements and comfort. (Subject to the type of hike, number of days, weather and destination)
So, if you’re new to hiking and outdoor adventures, this gear and packing list will be useful. Also, very handy for regular hikers and adventure seekers.
Travel Documents
*Always make a copy of important documents and store them separate to the originals.
Clothing Gear
Sleep & Cook Gear
Emergency & Repair
Personal Items
Travel Kit Bags
All the items on this gear and packing list are weather dependent, and I recommend to always pack at least one set of clothing for cooler-than-anticipated weather conditions.
Even in the summer, evenings and nights can be cooler than you might think. Up on the mountains, weather conditions can change within minutes and change multiple times within an hour!
Adventure Gear
Hygiene & Health
Always remember to practice “Leave No Trace.” Leave No Trace is one of the most significant elements to practice for the benefit of other outdoor users and for our precious environment.

I found Shameer while Google searching...
I found Shameer while Google searching hikes for beginners. I ended up joining a small of hikers one sunny afternoon in the Chiltern Hills. Shameer is a great guide. He knew we were hikers who needed an easy route so that was good. He’s very knowledgeable and friendly. I like the fact he is bringing awareness that hiking, walks in Nature can be easily accessed and working hard to encourage the South Asian community to explore the outdoors more.
Shameer is a total Pro! We enjoyed...
Shameer is a total Pro! We enjoyed one of his hikes when my family and I were in the UK last year… we were well prepared based on his insight and expertise, and were truly able to enjoy the experience, nature/outdoors… and the cool little nuggets/details he would tell us about some centuries old Tree, and some random River, or the land we travailed on!… Highly recommend!
Nature Kicks Hiking and Camping...
Nature Kicks Hiking & Camping Adventures was an amazing experience! Very well organised hikes, comfortable camping, and of course Shameer who really knows his stuff made it memorable. Perfect mix of adventure and relaxation . I am 66 years old and it’s the first time I went . So highly recommend!
Shammer is knowledgeable, relaxed...
Shammer is knowledgeable, relaxed and tailors each experience to the level of physical capabilities of the endure group. Stunning views and knowledge based instruction throughout the hike
Sam is a great guide...
Sam is a great guide, really made the hiking experience special for me as a beginner, would definitely recommend his tours!
If you know wilderness in the way that you know love, you would be unwilling to let it go. This is the story of our past and it will be the story of our future.
