Clothing worn on the course should be tough, fast drying and comfortable to work in. A layer system is best consisting of:

· A base layer (wool or synthetic thermals in the cold, t shirt if warm)

· One or two mid layers (lightweight fleece or wool shirt/jumper)

· Cosy spare warm top – fleece or wool (for evenings or periods of inactivity)

· Trousers should also be tough and fast drying

· Footwear should be sturdy and waterproof (hiking boots or similar are the best option) with comfortable socks

· Waterproof jacket with hood

· Warm hat

· Full spare set of clothing including trainers

· Water bottle (a 1 litre mineral water bottle is fine)

· Torch (a head torch is the best option as it leaves hands free for jobs)

· Insect repellent

· Personal toiletries

· A small day sack of 10 litres or more is a good idea for carrying your warm layer, water bottle and waterproof when away from the base camp.

· Knives and other woodworking tools can be borrowed but if you have a fixed blade knife you are familiar with you are welcome to bring it along

Please ensure that your rucksack is of sufficient size to carry all your equipment. Pack all your kit inside
waterproof liners or bin bags, especially expensive items such as cameras or mobile phones.
