Kit conundrum

[Travs]

Ok. So Wolf's Pit - nothing on the website, nothing on Facebook to say that the RO was making any kit requirement. FRA rules don't enforce kit. I travelled over an hour to get to the race - what if I'd not bothered to take kit, and then a sign at registration says 'kit required'? I get that kit is a good idea, I get that taking kit is a good idea 'in case', but surely there shouldn't be this kind of variable right up to the off?

My understanding of the rules (i may be wrong) is that for any FRA registered race (outside of those where kit is mandatory), the kit requirement on the day is at the discretion and instruction of the organiser.

Therefore it's safe to assume that at any FRA event there may well be a requirement to carry kit, regardless of race category.

Derby Tup and PeteS have got it bang on... anticipate the fact that kit might be required, and you're covered.

I think it's also worth remembering (and again i might not have this 100% correct) that i'm pretty sure that the RO can stipulate additional kit over and above FRA requirements (i.e extra layers, survival bag, etc) if they see fit.
