| Please avoid valuable items and remember
that camps with wood fires can result in filthy clothes
and holes from sparks. White is not usually a good
colour for camp clothes!!!!!! You will need to use
your judgment for the particular camp to be attended,
but the following is a basic list for camps:- |
| Sleeping |
Insulation Mat - to prevent cold coming
up from the ground, a thermorest is even better and a
lot more comfortable, also a lot more expensive. |
| Sleeping bag - if yours is only a 2
season bag and / or you tend to feel the cold, then a
blanket to put inside the sleeping bag is a good idea. |
| Pyjamas, teddybear, torch with
batteries. |
| Normal Clothes |
Training shoes, boots / wellies (if
there is a heavy dew or rain, trainers get wet very
quickly). Sockless flip flops are fine for
wandering around the site, but not for activities (ideal
when the grass is wet as the feet can be dried when
accessing a tent). |
| Trousers / joggers (better than jeans
which let in the cold in wind and rain) and Shorts (it
is easier to dry legs that trousers!). |
| Socks, underwear, handkerchieves. |
| Shirts and jerseys / fleeces |
| Windproof and waterproof outer garment
(waterproof trousers are a useful extra). |
| Hat (when it is cold 50% of heat loss
can be via the head). |
| Food and Drink |
The Group usually provides all meals.
A sensible quantity of "midnight feast" is a good idea. |
| The Group provides plates, cutlery and
mugs. If you want a water bottle for an
expedition, then bring one. |
| Washing etc |
Towel and soap, shampoo etc. when using
showers. |
| Toothbrush and paste. |
| Hair brush, comb. |
| Sun cream |
| Amusements |
Yes to books, cards, games that do not
have lots of small pieces. No to mobile phones,
ipods, walkmen etc. |
