Kit List

For the children's comfort and safety it is essential that your child is dressed appropriately every day they come to into the woods.

We provide every child with:

• Didriksons waterproof jacket and trousers

• A waterproof rucksack

They also need:

• Water bottle

• Indoor shoes for when we’re at the hall (these can be old trainers, plimsolls or slippers with a hard sole - these should be left at the hall so they can change into them from outdoor shoes)

In warm weather the children also need:

• Strong, waterproof footwear

• A sun hat

• Long sleeve top and long trousers (these are to prevent scratches and stings, the children will not get too hot under the shade of the canopy)

• Jumper or sweatshirt in case the weather turns colder

• Sunscreen

In cold weather the children need:

• Warm, waterproof footwear –ﾠfleece-lined wellies (like the ones made by Spotty Otter) work well, or the Vivo Barefoot Lumi boots, which you can also buy secondhand here)

• A thermal layer including leggings and a long-sleeve top (it’s best to avoid cotton for these. Anything that’s Merino wool works well or Uniqlo do good thermals)

• Long, thick wool/thermal socks – Heat Holders are good and do kids sizes.

• A thin long-sleeved top

• A warm wool jumper or fleece

• Jogging bottoms

• Gloves or mittens, one waterproof – waterproof mittens with zips by Didrikson work well.

• A warm hat and scarf

We have found that Mountain Warehouse stock many of these items at reasonable prices.
