  • All our land activities require closed toe footwear with good grip, such as trainers. For bushcraft, orienteering and environmental education wellies are more suitable during wet weather. Wellies are essential for our River Studies sessions.
  • Wear loose comfortable clothing that you can easily move around in. Joggers, leggings and outdoor trousers are all excellent, please no jeans.
  • For archery long sleeved tops work well to help protect your arm from the string (arm bracers are provided for protection).
  • Please bring a waterproof jacket and trousers if you have them to keep you warm and dry on rainy days. No such thing as bad weather, just bad kit!
  • In sunny weather remember your sunhats and sun cream.

What to wear for climbing, high ropes & zip wire?

  • These activities require strong closed toe footwear, such as trainers or approach shoes (like trainers & walking boot in one).  

  • Please wear non-constrictive clothing that is easy for you to stretch and bend in. Jeans are not suitable for climbing.
  • For outdoor climbing bring a waterproof jacket. No thick coats as these can hinder the harness fitting correctly.
  • In sunny weather remember your sunhats and sun cream.
