The UK has a famously unpredictable climate so it's best to be prepared for weather that’s sunny one minute and raining the next.  To make it easier, here’s a list of items you should consider packing.   
Essentials  

Suitable footwear such as waterproof walking boots that provide ankle support and good grip  
Waterproof and windproof jacket 
Comfortable clothing (jeans & waterproof capes are not suitable)  
Mid-layer(s) to keep you warm. Fleeces make a good choice
Waterproof overtrousers  
Gloves and a warm hat  
Rucksack with waterproof liner 
Flask for hot drinks   
Water bottle (at least 1 litre capacity)  
Sunscreen  
UV sunglasses  

For holidays operating October through to the end of March, please also bring the following on your walks:

spare warm clothing
spare high energy food
head torch and spare batteries
please note for the October to March season your waterproof jacket needs to offer a high level of waterproofing and wind resistance, and a hood. Look for a waterproof jacket with sealed/taped seams and a minimum HH (hyrodstatic head - this is the rating given on waterproof jackets) of 10,000mm+

Recommended  

Several base layers (long-sleeve or short-sleeve)  
Cushioned walking socks to avoid blisters  
First aid kit, including plasters and insect repellent and tick remover tool

Baggage transfers
When you change from Newfield Hall to Thorns Hall we will arrange for your luggage to be transferred. This is included in the cost of your holiday.  Please remember that other people will need to move your suitcase so please pack thoughtfully.  If you can limit your luggage to one bag, rucksack or suitcase that would be very helpful.
Your personal transfer to Thorns Hall is also included in the cost of your holiday. You will be taken to Dent by minibus to begin your day's walk to Sedbergh, and your luggage will be taken on to Thorns Hall.
