What to bring on the hike

What you definitely need to take hiking:
- Minimum of 2L water
- Sunscreen 30+
- Hat/cap with flap to protect neck or a scarf
- Sun glasses
- Fly net for those who hate the flys ;)
- Clothes in layers so you can peel of/on preferably light cotton
- Take something for all weather types, although it's summer it can be cold and rainy.
- Easy walking shoes (I am planning to walk bare feet on the beach parts)
- Towel and bathing suit for a swim to cool of during breaks
- Lunch pack/snacks
- Something to carry your stuff, either a backpack or on your hips (what I prefer)
- Medicine box (bandaids, aspirine, insect repellent, aftersun)
- I have a insect/snake bite extractor set which I will bring
- Compass
- Map of the route for that day
- Mobile phone if you have reach in the area (and GPS, Helge ;)
- Camera
- And a very good mood
