The following is a list of recommended kit for weekend trips. It's not completely universal, but it you bring everything listed here you should be well equipped for any of the trips the club runs. Not all kit needs to be expensive or high-tech. You will probably be able to find some suitable walking trousers in any of Bath's charity shops, and waterproofs, hats and gloves can often be found at relatively cheaply from big sports shops. Feel free to ask any committee member for advice about kit, although you'll probably regret it when you can't get them to shut up again!
