Suggested Clothing List

               Lagganlia Centre for Outdoor Education

Suggested Clothing and Personal Items 
Pack in a suitcase you can carry. Remember your day bag with packed lunch, snack and a drink for the bus. The emphasis is on plenty of old, warm clothing – and please bring poly bags to pack wet stuff when you leave.  Layers are best. This list is only a guide. No mobile phones and we advise AGAINST bringing valuables such as Nintendos etc.

This is what we recommend you bring for a 5 day course. Please bear in mind that
a Lagganlia Experience can (and probably will!) be a wet and muddy one at times.
Don’t pack your best, smartest and newest gear!

In the ski season life becomes more complicated. All of the above should still be
packed because there is always a possibility that it is impossible to ski and an
alternative programme will need to be followed. The following additional items
should be packed:

• Salopettes or ski pants ...........(or very warm trousers, no need to go to great  expense) 
• Warm anorak or ski jacket……………………………………… 
• Long thermal underwear ……………(or extra pyjamas that could be worn instead) 
• Ski goggles and lip salve (both are available from the shop). 
• Sun cream……………………………………………………….. 

We advise those embarking upon a course at Lagganlia to try to provide as many
personal items from the above lists as possible. All technical outdoor clothing and
equipment is provided by the Centre (waterproofs, boots, rucksack
and specialist equipment for fieldwork, climbing).
