 packs and using the clothing grasp), also the Solo method of crossing.\nTur

  Caterpillar Turn)  \nPack Float.   \nYou can sit out anything that makes y
 our feel uncomfortable or unsafe.\nPlease ensure you bring the following:\n
 We will end up standing around for a while whilst you are wet so either wea
 r or bring a set of polypro/wool top and leggings so you don't get too cold
  (or a wet suit top if you know you get very cold).\nPack Floating is optio
 nal but its still important to ensure that your pack acts as a floatation d
 evice. A 40-60lt pack is ideal for training purposes, a small day/weekend p

 quired to pack float.\nBring a Leki pole if you use one for practicing the
