- Offline maps + a power bank - Download the trail before you lose signal; carry backup charge. Find on Amazon
- Sun protection - Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen - sun is stronger at altitude and on open ridges. Find on Amazon
- Trekking poles - Save your knees on long descents and steep, loose ground. Find on Amazon
- Head torch - For early starts, caves and any chance of finishing after dark. Find on Amazon
