What do I need to bring?
- Kit for an overnight camp

- Personal First aid kit
- Spare clothing – e.g. extra fleece, belay jacket, spare gloves, spare hat
- Drinks bottle and/or flask, lunch box
- Compass (Silva Expedition 4 recommended)
- Maps - OS 17 Snowdon & Conwy Valley 1:25,000 and OS 115 Snowdon 1:50,000. Laminated maps are great as you don't need a map case and you can make notes and mark points on them etc. (Can be purchased from our shop)

- You should have a larger rucksack (typically around 50 litres)a
- For the river crossing it is wise to bring some old trainers

You will find a fine permanent marker useful for writing on your maps and a pen handy for taking notes and writing your action plan.
