Kit List
We believe in being prepared for all eventualities, no matter how "normal" or "easy" they seem at first.
The outdoor environment can be unpredictable, but we will support you to enjoy it.
All adventurers must be self-reliant, prepared and carry your kit (to the campsite or firecircle).
Minimum Items, Required for all our Outings

- Walking boots or sturdy trainers (waterproof!)
- Appropriate layers of clothing (cover up lightly to avoid sun, cover up warmly in cold and windy conditions)
- Small rucksack (15L suggested minimum)
- Water bottle (absolute min 1L)
