Below is basic list of what you should now be carrying in your own pack ( or wearing ) on club runs, and we’ll be doing random kit checks – no kit, no run...
Winter kit:
- Your mobile, with leader's number! Should you get separated from the pack, this is your primary means of finding them!
- A whistle
- Headtorch and spare batteries
- Waterproof jacket
- Base layer
- An energy snack
- A space blanket
- A hat or buff (of the body heat you lose 70% of it is through the head!)
- Gloves
- Some water if you think you'll get thirsty
- Also, eye protection is a sensible and recommended precaution. Clear safety glasses will protect you from low branches, brambles or grit. All hazardous, all painful.
Summer kit:
- Your mobile, with leader's number! Should you get separated from the pack, this is your primary means of finding them!
- A whistle
- Water or other hydration (optional)
- Depending on time of run you might also want to carry and use: suncream, headcovering, sunglasses, long sleeved top.
