WE been given a shirt which is actually pretty good. stretchy and breathable, plus have a sports type jacket I got to wear over top, plus have a waterproof big jacket. but I get warm, so don't think that'll be a problem.

I always buy boots from a shop. You need to try them on, imo. You can feel the ones that are right for you.

Yeah, planning on sticking to as many paths as possible, so shouldn't be too much of a problem. Hoping it won't bloody rain either! But it's the north so you know...
The top isn't really a issue whilst walking. It's when you stop and take your back off, it's ****ing horrible putting it back on if your tops wet. Sports tops dry quickly
Well...you may not slip....
Ooof... I'm torn between praying for a cool dry day for you or a hot wet one to test if we are all being lied to lol

I normally do, but they were bloody expensive in most shops and I wanted something cheap so. I don't find shoes too much of a problem. Generally always same size and can just bulk up with extra socks if needed

Had a lot of rain for the last two weeks so you could do with a bit of sunshine to dry it out a bit
Do you mean base layer? Yeah running are lighter... based on idea it's all you'll wear bar maybe a waterproof...

I'm going into this with the idea that it's a gentle walk with no problems... reckon you lot making this out to be a lot more than needed 
No, I mean t-shirt type top. Didn't bother with underlayer, nor did I bother with a jacket even though it was quite chilly (I wore gloves still)

I'll let you know.
I'm planning on playing football on the Monday the day after finishing as well so
Deffo wear proper hiking socks on your feet
I always wear running gear when I go hiking, got a nice technical waterproof running jacket that's really light and good for this time of year, no good for cold weather unless you layer up underneath it. As long as the item (mid-layer / base layer i.e. the ones under waterproof layer) is wicking and draws sweat and moisture away from the body it's good
For colder months I have a couple of North Face jackets, one is a hooded soft-shell style one and the other is a proper hard core waterproof lightweight outer jacket

I'd you've not done it before it'll be harder than you think. However, if you're taking it steady and doing it over two days you should be fine. The second day will be harder though; little niggles and aches from the first day etc
Tbf I tend to get the same kind of shoes when I buy online because I know they fit properly
