Sensible gear needed
Though these walks are short, straightforward, and well marked, sensible gear and footwear (sandshoes, light boots, for example) should be taken. Altitude is over 1000 m, and conditions can change rapidly. Even a_ straightforward track can soon get deceptively slippery patches in heavy rain or in snow or ice conditions. Take a parka or waterproof coat. For at least the full-day trips carry warm clothing, and notify park headquarters of your plans by filling out an intentions sheet.
