    Welsh Invasion bunkhouse

    Never having been in a bunkhouse before,I was wondering what kit is provided and what do I need to bring? I assume sleeping bag, but what else do I need?

    Other than a sleeping bag, a towel, toiletries and obviously clothes, most bunks have communial kitchens that have cutlery etc so bringing coffee/tea sugar etc and we tend to all chip in to buy breakfast bacon egg etc

    Hope that helps

    All bedding is included, although you will need to bring towels.
    from the website.

    Perhaps Mom can confirm whether or not we need sleeping bags?

    Just spoken to the bunkhouse all bedding is provided. All they want us to do is strip the beds when we leave.
