Typical Kit List

Here is a list of things which are generally a good idea to bring on a trip (see TripDates):

• outdoor clothes -- Proper water proofs, lightweight trousers are preferred (e.g. tracksuit bottoms), jeans/cords are not suitable they become very heavy when wet and don't dry; warm woolly jumper advisable. Also footwear walking boots, trainers aren't great and are not advisable
• evening clothes -- for the pub or the hut (and beer a supply of beer etc). (particularly if it rains during the day)
• sleeping bag (the club can usually provide one or two spare, but ensure you arrange this in advance!). Include a bin-bag (or couple) to wrap the sleeping back -- it'll ride on the top of the bus
• breakfast/lunch fodder, and something for the Friday night (we often stop at services/truck-stops on the way, where food can be obtained). The evening meals are ad-hoc or provided by the local pub/chippy. The usual Saturday night involves en-masse food, which you don't need to worry about (let us know about any special dietary requirements eg. vegi, etc...) breakfast is also usually provided for Saturday and Sunday.
• Personal first-aid kit (if you have one) -- the club will bring their own, but better safe than sorry (We can't give you drugs).
• a towel -- because a good traveller is never without their towel ;). And any other bathroom artefacts you might want to bring along
• climbing stuff, if you own it (or if the club owns it!): rock shoes, harness, helmet, rack, bivy-bag, thermo-rest, tent
• head torch or regular torch

Bear in mind that this is the UK -- our weather can be very unpredictable. If it's bright and sunny in the morning before setting off on a walk, it'll probably be raining hard by lunchtime..! In the winter-ish months (i.e. October - April) warm stuff is strongly advised (gloves, woolly-hat, fleece, etc.).
