Sam's Stuff to Bring - If you forget something the major stores are nearby. We will buy some stuff in bulk for people to use, sharing is caring (sunscreen etc)
Covid Travel is about being careful
Sleeping bag, tent, sleeping pad -- it can get moderately chilly in the evening
Layers are important because you will shed layers over the course of the day as it gets hot
Boots, make sure they are worn in, sneaks, Water shoes like Tevas.
We don't ever see rain in July -- so rain wear would be a likely no
Long sleeve shirts to wear in the sun and get wet
Towel (but you can buy one local, they take baggage space)
Hats, for scorching sun
Whatever work-wear is worn, bring two sets, so you can wash one and dry the other, but camping means re-using everything. Baggy loose-fitting trekking pants are ideal. Nothing is required, some will wear swim suits, others won't.
Work gloves: light-weight, washable and rubberised garden gloves are ideal. Again, we can get them here if needs be.
Sun-screen we should also have reserves in the First Aid boxes.
A water bottle, a light rucksack, and a lunch box.
A woolly jumper and/or a heavy fleece is perhaps the best cool-weather and evening attire, along with fleece ski-socks (two pairs -- one to wash, one to wear).
Swim-suits
Mosquito deterrent
