What do I need to bring?

We will give your teacher a list of all the things you need to bring. Most of it you will have at home already.

The most important things are a comfy pair of walking boots or trainers, welly boots, a waterproof and a day pack. If it's summer, bring some sunscreen and a hat.

If it's winter make sure you've got lots of things you can put on in layers, maybe some thermals or tights (sorry, boys) for under your trousers and a warm hat and gloves.

You'll have much more fun if you're warm and dry and your feet don't hurt. Don't forget your camera - you'll definitely want to keep the memories of THIS school trip. And put your name on everything so it doesn't get lost.

Don't bring your best clothes - we really like getting you wet and muddy (or both). Don't bring those trainer socks - you'll look good but you'll get blisters (and they really hurt).

Try to bring a day pack with two thick straps if you can - they're much easier to carry.

Don't bring CD players, iPods, Gameboys or mobile phones - you'll be having far too much fun to even bother unpacking them.

And don't bring the biggest case you can find because YOU have to carry it off the coach, across the playground and up an awful lot of stairs!
