INGEN RYMDBLANKETT

Each team must carry a tent with ground sheet, food for evening meal and breakfast, stove and means to produce hot food/drink, first aid kit to include wound dressings (one large), triangular bandage, roller bandage & anti-inflammatory tablets/ointments (not compulsory). Each person must wear or carry a whistle, compass, map, pencil & paper, torch (not penlight) with spare bulb & 6 hours light. A Petzl Tikka and similar torches which contain multiple LEDs are fine. A sleeping bag, survival bag (not space blanket), waterproof cagoule with hood (not a Pertex windproof), overtrousers (these can be Pertex), hat & gloves, tracksters/thermal bottoms (lycra tights OK if weather forecast is good), thermal vest or similar, warm thicker top, hill food for each day with a small amount of emergency rations to remain at the end of day 2. A Goretex bivi bag may be used as a sleeping bag but not as a tent. The Blizzard Pack is an acceptable alternative to a sleeping bag.

De är inte lite märkliga de där skotska reglerna. Liggunderlag? Nädå det behövs inte, sov rätt på backen bara! Rymdfilt? Nä det ska vara nån sorts överlevnadspåse. Kan ge mig den på att en sopsäck går bra! Skulle inte förvåna mig om det står att sportdryck förbjudet och whisky tillåtet!
