Outdoor clothing
Outdoor clothing should be tough and comfortable. When it is climatic weather, wearing several thin layers is better than a few thick layers. A waterproof jacket and several sweatshirts underneath are sufficient. Jeans should not be worn, as they are slow to dry, clinging and cold. Natural colours or camouflage will give you a better chance of spotting wildlife. Walking boots are ideal, but wellies in wet weather and trainers in dry weather will suffice.
Please pack your water, antibacterial wipes/soap and insect repellent at the top of your bag.
Alcohol is not permitted on any course.
If you are dropping your children at the school, you must ensure that they have all equipment listed above; we are unable to provide them with anything after you have departed.
