Equipment
We were given an equipment list from Gane and Marshall with advice on minimum requirements, and various items that were necessary and recommended. A problem that we encountered was that we had never done anything like this before so we had no outdoor gear whatsoever, hence this was a totally new experience and a lot of advice was taken. Our kit list was as follows although there were certain items that we wish we had taken but didn't.
