Kit List
There are three days of
practical activities of
which there is a
likelihood that you may
get muddy or wet.
You will need three different outfits for activities that you do not mind getting muddy (one for each day). You
must wear long sleeves due to the ropes used in the activities. Typical outfits would be track suit or jeans
and jumper/hoodie. You will need old trainers or walking boots for activities. You will need a water proof
jacket/coat in case of rain. 6 pairs of socks – (2 per day and thicker socks for activities to keep feet warm and
dry). You can also bring Hat & Gloves if you want to keep extra warm. You will also need a cheap watch and
an alarm clock to make sure you are always on time. Remember, your phone will not work at Colomendy
because there is no reception. You will need pyjamas to sleep in and some flip flops to wear in the shower
areas. You will need some nice, appropriate clothes for School Disco on the last evening.
