Equipment

You do not need to bring out a heavy load of equipment with you. First of all you will not need most of it, secondly it is tedious to pack and unpack large amounts of belongings and finally we do have limited amounts of space in the vehicles. We recommend the following basic equipment which should be carried in a sports bag or hold-all (not a suit case).

Small pack for day walks,
sun hat,
woolly hat (in winter),
sun cream and sun glasses,
t shirts,
long sleeved shirt,
fleece jacket or warm jumper,
wind proof jacket,
waterproof jacket,
long cotton trousers,
shorts,
long skirt,
