What to Bring?

This question gets asked so frequently we've decided to dedicate a page to it! Don't worry about any technical and safety equipment, we will supply all of that.

A typical course tends to require a general range of items to make your time with us even more of a joy, but be prepared for the best and worst that the weather can offer, here's a few ideas:

• Sun cream, sun glasses and a hat in the summer

• Change of clothing for all water-based activities (Kayaking, Open Canoeing, Gorge Walking, White Water Rafting)

• Suitable footwear (see individual activities below - remember for water-based activities your footwear will get wet!)

• Waterproof jacket and trousers

• A flask and packed lunch

• A small rucksack

• Any personal medication, especially for asthmatics
