Remember to bring:

From October to March, the weather can vary more easily and rainfalls are usually more frequent (trips during rainy days are generally avoided, but sometimes the weather can be a surprise). Warm clothing with long sleeves as well as long trousers and, just in case, a rain jacket which can also serve as a winds-topper are strongly recommended
Considering the fact that dinner in the restaurant is at about 3.30pm and that everyone has individual preferences, you can take a light meal of your own, for example: fruits, energy bars, almonds, biscuits, sandwiches, etc.
