Kit List
As part of
our Duty of Care, we will be inspecting every walker to ensure
that they have the correct equipment. In particular,
every walker must have a pair of walking boots and a good
waterproof/windproof layer. Each member should ensure that
they have sufficient warm layers.
If you adhere to the
kit list then you should be able to do the challenge without
the worry that your clothing will let you down. If
you have poor kit it will be reflected in your walking.
We accept that many of you will not know what to expect from
the challenge and few of you will have experienced emergency
conditions on the hill. We have designed this kit list
bearing in mind the most likely weather conditions, worst
case weather conditions and also also any emergencies that may occur.
If you dont
have the correct kit you should think very carefully before
signing up. We are trying to arrange discount deals with
outdoor clothing shops, but clothing and boots can be expensive.
If you have any questions regarding the
equipment and clothing that you need, or want to know more
about what equipment we provide, email the equipment man,
Guy Parker-Dennison theprezis@hotmail.com.
