 On the day – what to bring with you

Clothing and waterproofs

        The survey will take place outside – whatever the weather! – and will require walking over rough and possibly boggy terrain.  Please come prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear. This should include warm jumpers, hat, gloves, waterproof jacket and trousers, and sturdy shoes or walking boots. Be aware that we will not be moving around all of the time and so it may get very cold. You may also find an umbrella useful!

Food and drink

    Bring a packed lunch for each day and any hot or cold drinks. A flask of hot tea or coffee is a particularly good idea. Please bring everything that you need at the start of each day as we are unlikely to be near shops.  Also please note that there will be no facilities at the sites.

Survey equipment and cameras

All equipment will be supplied by RCAHMS but you are welcome to bring your own survey equipment, such as GPS or digital camera. 

 

 Health and safety

We endeavour to conduct all events in line with current best practice in health and safety policy and practice, and a risk assessment is undertaken before we begin. However, please remember that the welfare of everyone on site depends upon all course participants acting in a safe and responsible manner at all times.
