Dragnet Kit Check List

You can take anything you want to carry with you, but the list below is the minimum mandatory Kit to take part in Dragnet.
You and your team will not be allowed to enter the event if you do not carry the compulsory equipment or clothing.
It is a good idea to put your equipment inside your rucksack, in either sealed Dry Bags or plastic bags to protect from the rain if there is bad weather – a rucksack alone will not stay dry in persistent rain.

Clothing	Checked
Walking boots – not shoes or trail shoes – you need proper strong supportive boots
Walking socks – One pair to wear and two spare pairs, keep at least one pair wrapped up & dry in case our First Aid team are called to ‘repair’ your feet.
Waterproof jacket – not lightweight showerproof or school coat
Waterproof overtrousers
Hat - for sun and cold
Warm shirt and jumper
Warm trousers
Gloves
