~ your common sense ~ and a weather app (!) will let you know how many layers you need to wear and bring.
~ please always wear long trousers and tops. This is to protect you from the elements, brambles and insect bites, unlikely in December !
~ waterproof coat and if possible waterproof trousers.
~ wellies/walking shoes as the ground is often wet and there will be a short walk into the woods.
PLEASE don’t feel you have to buy any new kit ~ I hope that there are friends and family that have things you could borrow. If you do want to expand your wardrobe Decathlon and other outdoor shops have a wide range of waterproof and cosy options.
What do I need to bring to the woods?
~ a small rucksack or bag for your an extra layer, hat, gloves and perhaps extra socks? A water bottle and reusable cup with a lid.
~ any specific medication you need to have with you.
Do I need to bring my own food and snacks?
~ hot drinks and snacks are available all day. They will include diary free, vegetarian and vegan. If there are any food/ingredient allergies within the group provision will be adapted.
~ however, I will not be remotely offended if you bring something of your own that brings you joy.
~ equally plates, bowls and crockery is provided, but again please feel free to bring your own if you would prefer.
Is there anything else I could slip into my luggage?
well as you have asked…….
~ IF you have them ~ your own gardening gloves. I have outdoor gloves, but the more the merrier!
