Kit list for the Surrey Three Peaks Challenge

We recommend carrying the kit below on self-organised challenges - On an organised event, some of this, such as safety blankets and shelters, will be carried by your mountain guides.

To carry in your backpack

• Water (two litres)
• Headtorch
• Spare socks
• Sunglasses & suncream
