What to bring:

Please bring personal clothing to suit the weather. Gloves are essential, Ideally with grippy palms. Good sturdy mountain/walking boots. If you have a helmet and a rope about 30m long that would be ideal. I’ll bring spares if you don’t have your own. Personal meds / first aid kit.
 
Plenty of questions and ropework ideas you want to look at. Sense of humour :)
 
Maps: We’ll aim to get out on the hills near Bessy Boot, so you’ll need a NW 1:25000 map. This is not a nav day so we’ll just nav if we need to. However, it’s quite useful to see what ground we are on and see how this looks on the map.
