Here's a list of some of the
things you should bring.
Items in red
underline: please phone or email us asap about these:
- Boots or trainers (trainers
in the support vehicle for later?)
- Long trousers or tough legs
(there are hip-high nettles in a couple of places)
- Hat (in case it's sunny)
- Sunscreen (in case it's
sunny)
- Waterproofs (in case it's
not)
- Snack food and lunch for
the day of the walk (but Andrea will provide some brownies and cookies)
- First aid kit or plasters
etc for blisters. I'll have a first aid kit, but (number of people)*(2
feet / person)*(blisters/foot) is a large number...
- Water bottle(s)
- Water
containers ("jerrycans"
or similar) if you have any. These will go in the support vehicle.
I have containers for 60L, but if it's hot we'll drink a vast amount.
- If you
are sleeping in our house:
sleeping bag, sleeping mat, towel.
- If you
are sleeping in our garden:
sleeping bag, sleeping mat, towel, tent. We have two 2-person tents
people can use (one's a bit whiffy though!).
- Mobile
phone if you have
got one.
- Food for barby (burgers
or whatever). We will supply salads, crisps, potatoes, garnishes etc.
We will supply a light (cereal) breakfast on Saturday morning from
about 6:15 to 6:45, for everybody doing the whole walk.
- Booze for barby or soft
drinks. We will supply 2 polybins of beer, several bottles of wine,
and some soft drinks, but it may go fast.
Transportation (items in red
underline: please phone or email us asap about these):
- The walk starts and finishes
at our house
- If
you are only doing part of the walk,
see this page for approximate intercept
times so you can meet up with us.
- You can get to our house
by car or train; we should be able to ferry people from the train
station to our house (it's only 10 minutes walk away). Please
advise us when you are coming and how. (NB Andrea and
I have Friday off work. If you arrive in time, how about joining
us in the pub for dinner?).
