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 and a drink for the bus.

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!

  • At least three warm ‘tops’ (fleeces or woollen jumpers) . ……. 
  • At least three pairs of loose fitting warm trousers (track  suit or jogging bottoms but not jeans)............................ …… 
  • Casual clothing for evening use and disco wear.................................... …… 
  • Underwear .................................................................... …… 
  • Shorts (summer) ........................................................... …… 
  • Socks (at least 3 thick pairs) ......................................... …… 
  • Training shoes (2 pairs, the grubbier the better) ............ …… 
  • Slippers or something to wear inside the Centre ........... .….. 
  • Gloves & hat (Lagganlia provide these but another set is always useful) 
  • Pair of wellies (not essential)…………………………………. 
  • Pyjamas ........................................................................ ….. 
  • Swimming costume ....................................................... ….. 
  • Vacuum flask and a container for juice (essential) .. ….. 
  • Lunch Box to fit in rucksack (essential)............................. 
  • Soap, towel, toothbrush ................................................ ….. 
  • Personal first aid kit  .................................(plasters and any personal medication etc.)
  •  Sun Cream & Insect repellent ………………………(available at the Centre shop)
  • Plastic bag for taking home any clothes that are still wet….. 
  • Torch (so that we can do night orienteering)…. ............. …… 

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.
