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
