Kit list

Essentials

• Thermos flask/Waterbottle – so you can take tea/coffee and water to the worksite.
• Sandwich box – to avoid using plastic sandwich bags.
• Work boots – preferably with steel toecaps. Wellingtons or walking boots are OK, but not trainers.
• Tough gloves (e.g. gardening gloves).
• Waterproofs – preferably a jacket and trousers, as it might rain.
• Warm, outdoor clothes – ones that can get dirty and muddy on the worksite.
• Clean change of clothes – for after your shower!
• Nightwear.
• Wash kit and towel.
• Sleeping bag and pillow.
• Torch – for finding your way round the bunkhouse in the middle of the night, or lighting your way back from the pub.

Nice to have

• Alarm clock – though we may bring you a cup of tea before breakfast.
• Camera.
• National Trust admission card – if you have one.
