COMPULSORY EVENT GEAR
Depending on the weather/forecast for event day, a call will be made by our event team on Friday as to whether you will need to carry compulsory gear in the 34km, 21km & 15km events. You should plan to carry it all.
Please remember that this gear is for when things go pear-shaped, not when they’re going well. As the event is in a fairly remote location, should you need to be transported off course, it may take time for us to get to you - this is when you’ll be happy to have taken that gear!
Option 1: Nothing.
Option 2: Waterproof (seam-sealed) jacket.
Option 3: Long-sleeve top (polyprop or wool), beanie (polyprop or wool), survival blanket, waterproof (seam sealed) jacket. *this is the most likely option.
RECOMMENDED EVENT GEAR
Waterproof and Windproof (seam-sealed) jacket
Long-sleeve top (polyprop or wool) – cotton anything is not recommended
Thermal Hat – beanie, balaclava (wool or polypropylene)
Thermal gloves - wool or polypropylene recommended
Survival Blanket
Small Dry Bag to contain your stuff
Personal hydration and nutrition - although there will be aid stations on course, they should not be relied upon as your sole source of hydration and nutrition. You should always head off on your adventure with the nutrition you think you might want/need.
Whistle
Back-pack or hydration pack (with bladder for liquids) to carry your stuff
Qualworx Safety Certification
We always complete the 3-yearly comprehensive safety audit to keep our Outdoors Mark Certification current.
Although this is not compulsory for us as we aren’t classed as an ‘adventure activity operator’, we do it voluntarily to make sure we keep our most important asset (YOU GUYS! 😊) as safe as we can!
