  What to bring:
  Clothing - We will get wet!
  So it is important to keep warm. Bring a waterproof jacket and trousers if you can. Otherwise, pack a small dry bag with a change of clothing in case you get wet & cold. Try to avoid any cotton clothing as it is very slow to dry and sucks up warmth. Running or sport gear together with a good fleece and your waterproofs are a good combination. Camping - Bring your tent, mat and sleeping bag. Although ... we do have a number of spare tents and sleeping bags available on request. Feel free to mail me if you have any questions.
