What to Bring
Suitable footwear is required (no open-toed shoes or sandals). Please ensure that laces are tied.Summer temperatures can drop to -10C, particularly at windy view points. Be prepared for these conditions. Bring layers of clothing including a windbreaker jacket. If you are participating in a winter tour, please be prepared for temperatures as cold as -20C - this means bring a warm hat, gloves, warm footwear, and layer your clothing. We recommend wearing long-johns or fleece under your pants and top, then wear appropriate pants and top, and cover this with a windproof (and warm) jacket and pants. Down-filled clothing is always recommended. Ensure you have a jacket that keeps the
wind out - that can be the simplest way to keep yourself comfortable.

Bottled water and snacks are provided. If you have special dietary restrictions, please bring whatever is appropriate for you.

And most importantly...bring your camera!
