By the time we visit Crete in June, full summer should have started characterised by (almost certainly) no rain and temperatures entering the thirties. On the 2007 field class temperatures exceeded 40°C.
On certain days you may walk several miles over rough terrain. On all days you may spend several hours in the sunshine. You must take care to protect against dehydration, sun burn and heat stroke.
There are two minimarkets in the village of Chora Sfakion where you can purchase bottled water. The tap water is also drinkable. Bring high factor sun cream with you.
It is best to wear light cotton clothing and a hat. You need shoes that offer ankle protection; walking boots are best.
Further equipment requirements will be posted during the preparation day and specific requirements will form part of the risk assessment.
