Personal Kit

The personal kit we have in stores is marked with an asterisk (*). The rest we ask you to bring.

  • Rucksack. A minimum of 35 litres as you’ll have all your own kit to carry plus some group kit. A waistbelt is needed to carry the pack comfortably.
  • Waterproof jacket and trousers.
  • Mountain boots. These should have a good sole and be broken in. Ideally, they will be B1 or B2 rated so they are stiff which provides good support when scrambling.
  • Clothes. Clothes suitable for a day in the mountain. Comfy and loose fitting/stretchy. Synthetic.
  • Warm layers. Sometimes it can get cool/cold. A warm fleece or synthetic jacket is great.
  • Hat and gloves.
  • Sunhat/sunglasses.
  • Water Bottle/Flask
  • Lunch Box/bag
  • Sunscreen. High Factor.
  • Midge Repellant. ‘Smidge’ is very effective.
  • Small personal first aid kit. Include blister plasters. Please remember any personal medication you may need.
  • Hairbands. For long hair to keep it safely out of the way.
