Recommendations:

 

We recommend that you bring old clothes as they may get dirty. Clothing should be comfortable and hard wearing Wearing a number of layers increases insulation.

Wool is particularly effective as it will keep you warm even when wet. Clothing of natural colours decreases visibility, as does patterned and textured clothing. Gore-tex socks are a cheap way of turning any shoes waterproof, "seal skins" are the best currently available.

Old trainers, walking boots or Wellington's are fine. We have suitable knives we can lend to participants.
