To buy this equipment, we recommend you go to Ellis Brigham, Go Outdoors or CotsWold. You can also buy things second-hand online, but especially for boots, make sure you try them on in person and have a specialist in the store advising you on what is best for you! When getting waterproofs, make sure that they fit all of your layers underneath. It gets very cold, and you still want to be waterproof!

​

If this equipment is too expensive, you can apply for an access to recreation grant!
