Well, let’s skip over the obvious things. You get that you need to bring clothing, deodorant, medications etc, right? Okay good! So what’s specific to Castlerigg?

-Sleeping Bag or Duvet Cover

-Bring a towel (we don’t provide these)

-Bring toiletries (ditto)

-Bring some money for the shop

-Bring walking boots and a waterproof jacket if you have them (but don’t worry if not!)

NOTE TO TRIP ORGANISERS: Full Bedding is provided for group staff (in the case of Castlerigg-led retreats). Everyone else is given a sheet, pillow and pillow case and will need to provide their own sleeping bag or duvet cover (for which, we can provide a duvet). We are able to provide up to five sets of full bedding for those young people who aren’t able to bring a sleeping bag or duvet cover, but any additional full sets are charged at £7.50 per set.
