Personal Equipment

We suggest you include all of the items in your personal gear. It is not an exhaustive list, but is the 'essential' gear you shouldn't do without. Pack it in plastic bags, or dry bags. A number of smaller bags are easier to pack than one or two larger bags.

• Two changes of warm clothing (wool or polypropylene, not cotton) - one suitable for adverse paddling conditions, and one for on-shore.
• Warm hat & gloves
• Raincoat or parka (for example, a nylon windbreaker)
• Windproof jacket, suitable for paddling
• Spare plastic bags
• Sunscreen
• Sunglasses
• Sunhat
• Insect repellent
• Rubber sandals, sandshoes, or neoprene booties for wearing while paddling
• Optional: long wetsuits for cooler months
