Packing - the bare essentials

We'll send you a detailed packing checklist for each event but here are just a few ideas of what you'll need to take with you. For the treks and bike rides we'll also provide you with 3-5 trekking t-shirts/cycling tops with the event logo on. And for the running events, we'll provide you with a Scope running vest.

Trekking

• A good-quality pair of trekking boots
• Good-quality sleeping bag
• A holdall
• Small rucksack whilst trekking
• A warm fleece
• Trekking trousers and shorts
• Water bottles
• Torch
• Waterproofs

Cycling

• Cycling helmet
• Sunglasses
• Cycling tops
• Padded cycling shorts

We will provide the bikes but for most of our events you can bring your own bike with you (subject to the airline's specifications).

Skiing

• Salopettes
• Thick socks

You can either hire skis or a board or bring your own with you.
