MEETING POINT:
The coach leaves from Owen's Park (by Domino's) at 8:00am, the Students' Union at 8:10am, and Weston Hall at 8:20am, don't be late! We get back around 8:00pm.
PACKING LIST:
Boots - You MUST wear Hiking boots that have sufficient ankle support - we don't allow approach shoes! If you have any doubts send us a message. Also, as a rule of thumb, most shoes made by fashion brands such as Dr. Martens will not be permitted.
Trousers - Walking trousers do NOT include jeans and, if you wear jeans, we will not let you on the coach. Leggings, and light, fast drying trousers are all encouraged.
Waterproofs - A waterproof jacket is a must. We go on hikes even if it's raining. If you have waterproof trousers, we strongly recommend bringing those along as well - water resistant and water repellent do NOT mean waterproof. Your puffer or down jacket is NOT waterproof. Bring a hard shell!
Packed Lunch and Water - You MUST pack sufficient water and food to sustain you for a full day in the hills (2 litres are recommended). ALWAYS bring more than you think you will need. This is essential!
Hat and Gloves - We strongly recommend that you always bring hat and gloves. The weather can shift quickly, and you may feel unexpectedly cold.
Headtorch - you MUST bring a headtorch. We may end up finishing a hike in the dark. Therefore, bringing a headtorch is a necessity.
Spare Layers - Always bring some spare layers. It is nice to put on an extra layer when we stop for lunch or put on dry clothes after a long day out. Make sure you keep these in a dry bag or in a plastic bag. If you get wet, you will get cold, so these are essential.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask!
See you on the hills,
UMHC :)
