Check List – What to bring? CLOTHING: Clothing needs to be considered under three headings: 1. Wet: you can expect rain at any time of the year and even if it does not rain your waterproof clothing is a good protection against wind chill. Note that the edges of glaciers can be exceptionally muddy (sometimes coming over the top of ordinary walking boots). Minimum waterproof coat and trousers. 2. Cold: at all times of the year you can expect chilly conditions and thus the principle of warm woolen clothing next to the skin topped by windproof over garments (e.g. Cagoule/anorak) is applicable. Winter conditions will be colder but more clothing does not necessarily mean greater warmth; it is the quality and the arrangement of the clothing that is important. 3. Indoors: the Centre is warm and comfortable and so you will need light clothing and footwear (e.g. trainers) around the buildings.
