KIT LIST

On any hike it is really important that you are kitted out correctly. Here is Andy’s list of what you should wear and what you should bring with you:

Things to wear -

• Hat such as baseball cap or floppy hat
• Sunglasses
• Cotton neck scarf
• Short sleeved top
• Shorts with pockets or trousers with pockets if it’s cold
• Socks
• Hiking boots or shoes or at the very least good trainers with a good tread. Definitely no sandals!

In your backpack -

• Light weight waterproof jacket
• Long sleeve second layer top
• Food for lunch plus emergency snack
• Water minimum 1 litre
• Sun cream
• Camera or mobile phone
• Toilet paper
• First aid kit
• Head torch (only for the Teide 2 Day Trek)

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tenerife has several micro-climates especially in the forests for example Anaga and Teno (Enchanted Forest and Lakes). The weather can change quickly and without warning so if you are doing a forest or a mountain hike you must bring a waterproof and/or a fleece or jacket just in case it is cold or there are showers or sometimes even heavy rain during the winter months.
