Ooh, I definitely want to do an RSR, but the dates don't suit me this time. Good job running it, and to everyone else, I recommend you do it!

4.00 Recommended Equipment List for Participants
4.01 Wetsuit or Drysuit
4.02 Thermals
4.03 ISO Approved buoyancy with integrated harness
4.04 ISO Approved helmet
4.05 Adequate hard sole footwear

4.09 Mobile Phone
4.10 One screw gate & one snap gate karabiner
4.11 One 4 - 5 metre open sling
-
Preferrably yes, if you don't have them ask someone who has nicely if you can borrow them :)
-
4.01 Wetsuit or Drysuit - borrow from club
4.02 Thermals - you should have these already
4.03 ISO Approved buoyancy with integrated harness - tricky one, ask some oldies nicely
4.04 ISO Approved helmet - borrow from club
4.05 Adequate hard sole footwear
4.06 Throw Bag - borrow from club
4.07 Knife - in the pocket of the B.A. you borrowed from an oldie. You might have to buy one
4.08 Whistle - 3euro, just buy one
4.09 Mobile Phone - waterproof phone cover 25euro get an Aquapac
4.10 One screw gate & one snap gate karabiner - possibly borrow from club.
4.11 One 4 - 5 metre open sling - 1.50 per m, get 5m.
Surprised a small dry bag wasn't on that list probably worth having.
-
4.09 Mobile Phone - waterproof phone cover 25euro get an Aquapac
Do not trust said Aquapac with your proper phone! They leak sometimes and despite their 100% waterproof promise! their warranty only covers the PAC! not anything that was inside it when it leaked :/
