We have a range of kit available which you can hire for £10 per item for the whole training season. This all meets the standards required on the kit list, and is mostly kit that was sponsored or donated brand new. We will issue this kit in two blocks, one at the start of training for the day hikes when we will issue clothing, and again before the weekend hikes for other equipment including rucksacks, sleeping bags and stoves. A sample of what we have available is below.

Waterproof jackets

Soft shell jackets
We have lots of really good quality jackets available in a range of sizes – there were purchased a few years ago and some are brand new, never worn and still have the tags on. These are a good options for an outer layer.

We have a few pairs of gaiters available. These are an optional item, but help to keep your feet dry and your trousers clean.

Sleeping bags
We have good quality sleeping bags for the weekend hikes. They are lightweight and pack down very small. We’ll also provide a fleece liner to make sure they are extra-warm.

Stove and pots
We have several sets of gas stoves and lightweight pots. Gas isn’t included so you’ll need to provide that.
