The following are recommended kit lists for Summer and Winter walking in the hills and mountains. On day walks our leaders will carry a group first aid kit and group shelter.
For hostel weekends you'll also need additional kit such as change of clothes, extra food and sleeping bag - these are usually outlined in the event details. If in doubt just ask and we will be happy to advise.
