Kit List

We recommend the following: 

  • Movement - sports kit and trainers. You will be able to dry things but best to have extra sports kit if possible. Hiking boots if you feel more comfortable in them for a walk but not essential-  I am always in my trail runners.
  • Waterproofs and warm layers!!
  • Swim kit and towel for some cold water dooking - it could be useful to bring booties or crocs.
  • Yoga/Pilates - Sarah and Eve bring all that you need, however if you are attached to a matt then by all means bring it. Same applies to a nice blanket and then comfy clothes for yoga.
