General Notes

1.We ask that your Son/daughter travels to and from the Camp in uniform.

2.Black bin bags are not suitable for bedding rolls as they tear very easily, with the result that the contents get lost or soiled in transit.

3.Please place wash proof name labels in all clothing.

4.Please label with either indelible ink and/or engraving as appropriate, with your Son/daughters Name and Group. (The old favourites of paper labels held on with sellotape, or nail varnish dots are not suitable. The paper labels wash off after the second or third meal, and it's amazing how many mums use the same shade of nail varnish).

Equipment Notes

Here is some basic information regarding some of the items you may require.

Sleeping BagsSynthetic filled bags are easier to clean than natural filling. Zips can be a source of cold if no baffle is fitted.

FootwearBoots give a better ankle support and normally have better soles than shoes if you are hiking.

Warm WearA number of layers is warmer than one thick one and the warmth can be regulated more easily - do not forget your hands and head.

TorchDo not pack your torch with batteries fitted (or at the bottom of your kit) as it could easily get accidentally turned on and you will arrive at the camp/holiday with flat batteries.
