Just a heads up for all you new to the club- as your group leader will only have one day to track you down and confirm you have gear, please please please read the gear list on the website and make sure you have collected as much of it as possible.

Sturdy footwear, pack, dry/warm clothes, sleeping bag- VERY IMPORTANT.

Do not come with duffle bags, shopping bags, or daypacks with everything strapped to the outside. DO NOT come without a rain jacket.

It will be WET and likely COLD while we are walking, although the walk is only a few hours and the hut should be toasty, so please be prepared. The club has very limited gear to loan.

Talk to your group leader about borrowing gear as EARLY as possible to save them running around like a possum with robert after it :)

Thats all- just wanted to hit the message home. This promises to be one of the biggest and best midwinter x-mases ever :)
