What to wear...

Well, we are seven days away, and my current version of packing is a pile in the corner of my room that may or may not make into the suitcase... it's a start at least - especially considering that I am at a camp this weekend and there is a LOT of crossover in what to take.

You'll all have seent he Kit list before, and hopefully have a copy, but just in case, here we go...

We are all responsible for our own luggage – each piece should be marked with owners name and address as well as Jeka administration number of our group.

It should consist of a reasonably sized suitcase plus a rucksack containing everything you need for the journey. This should double as your daysack on arrival.
