Just get some sturdy shoes I went up in trainers. You don%26#039;t really need anything special, but depends how confident you are with walking. Give yourself a day to do it and take up some lunch. If you want to get back to main land be sure to check the ferry times or take a tent.
Reply:Just a good pair of hiking boots and a waterproof jacket and fleece in case it gets wet and cold. And take some food and drink. Best boot brands are Meindl and Raichle but make sure to choose one that fits you well (spend a lot of time find the right one as its the difference between a good hike and a bad one!) and wear them in before you do your long hike!
