• Hi hikers, can I ask a few noob questions please. I'd like to do a bit more of hiking in order to do a different endurance/"touring" sport than riding a bike. Think weekend/few days things, like the South or North Downs Way or portions of it. I'm fairly confident and set on the bivvy side of things but lack experience with almost everything else. I was wondering about backpack and shos - what to get, where to buy, this sort of things. Thanks!

    These are quite broad questions...have you looked at any you like? What is your budget?

  • I know, but I don't really know what to look at either! So I've outlined the sort of things I wanted to do instead. Should I just buy whatever 30/40L backpack Alpkit currently has and go to Decathlon to try shoes on? What are things to look for and to avoid in shoes? Should choose them roomy or tight?

    Yes these are broad questions. I feel like the friend who asks "I'd like to buy a gravel bike, what should I get?" :)
