Advice on clothing 
  
Make sure you bring sports clothing (indoor and outdoor, not too baggy - thin layers are best), trainers and (a must) wellies, sandals, or wet shoes. Don't bring anything too precious - things can get a bit dirty or quite wet very easily. Hoodies or jackets with open pockets are not allowed when rowing or on the rowing machines, as thumbs can get caught (painfully). A full change of clothing including a towel is srongly advised.
