• A camera • It's easy to get caught up in what you're doing so remember to take some sunscreen and a sunhat. • A blanket and pillow • Something to sit on • a sack lunch - there are restaurants near by • Wear neutral colored clothing (creams, beiges) rather than white which can reflect too much light • Insect repellant  • A bag to put rubbish in • A large plastic bag can be useful as an emergency rain shield • An Umbrella

 No Pets   •     No Alcohol
