The arrival of September has brought with it some pleasant and not to mention cooler weather, the overall perfect conditions for walking.

Here are some of our top tips for walking in September:

Layer up

Although September usually has a cooler, more pleasant temperature, it can also still be relatively warm in the afternoon. The key is to layer up in the morning with light pieces of clothing so you can take them off as and when you start to feel the warmth.

Carry a coat

September can also sometimes be unpredictable and chuck it down at any given moment. When heading out on your September walk, remember to pack a waterproof.

Stay hydrated

As with any walking trip regardless of the weather it’s really important to ensure that you stay well hydrated. Invest in a handy BPA-free water bottle or opt for investing in a Camelbak.

Pack a snack

Walking can use up a lot of energy and even in the cooler weather it’s important to make sure that you take along some energy-boosting snacks. Things like nuts, energy bars and fruit are great and easy to carry on your trip.

Good map

Before heading out on your September walking trip, make sure you have planned your route safely and efficiently, you wouldn’t want to get lost now! When you book with Compass Holidays, you get a handy map in the app so you know where you are going.
