What is this information used for? (stag do Q)

[paddy]

Canyoning.

This.

Been asked to provide:

1. Chest size
2. Inside Leg measurement
3. Waist size
4. Weight

Been asked to bring a single back pack, hiking/walking boots, good sleeping bag, wet clothes, dry clothes, torch, 20p coins (x2), sense of adventure.

All points to you wearing a wetsuit (measurements) and a buoyancy aid (weight), getting sodden wet (wet/dry clothes) and needing a shower afterwards (20p coin, x2 if your a woman and can't wash in 5 minutes... of course the showers might just be 40p)

Walking boots will either be to walk to the Ghyll you'll be scrambling in - before changing into wetsuit boots, or more likely, what you'll be wearing the whole day to scramble in.

Take a spare pair of shoes

Sleeping bag is probably to warm you up if you start getting hyperthermic at the end.

Torch. You should always carry a torch in the hills

The two czech prostitutes sound like more fun, I'd ditch your mates and book a flight out to Eastern Europe instead. Sod getting wet and muddy, too much like gardening.

Good shout, night hike with typical British weather, maybe even a pub at the end?

Maybe so, because it does say bring dry clothes for the pub....but then the sleeping bag = ?!?1

Let me post the whole pic, probably a lot inbetween the lines

It's very unlikely you'd need measurements in advance for a wetsuit, you'd simply get whatever was the closest fit that they have. The only exception I've ever seen for this was when there was a particularly tall guy in our group (6ft 7in) but the organiser let the company know in advance to be prepared for that.

You also wouldn't need weighing for a buoyancy aid, unless you are a 30stone trucker, but again the organiser would have been asked that at the time by the company.

My guess in the measurements would be fancy dress - nothing more sinister than that.

It could be almost anything, any sort of watersports (sailing/windsurfing/scuba diving etc could all need the measurements for a wetsuit apart from perhaps weight).

This was my thought - there are a couple of big centres doing this sort of thing up there. I assume the 2 x 20p coins are some sort of joke because nothing in the Lakes is that cheap.

You are going to be entombed Egyptian style, equipped for the afterlife.

Ghyll Scrambling is soooo cold did it back in March for my bro in laws stag, melt water of the hills. Great fun though once hands and feet go numb.

The list will point to any wet activity with wet suits.

The 20p's are to place over your eyes, to pay Charon, the ferryman.

Your gonna die bro

I don't quite get what the ear plug would be needed for unless you are going somewhere with loud music.

Well it might be used if they are swimming to stop water getting into your ears

 

[Fire_fly]

It doesn't specify what type

If you don't want to go I'll take your place - sounds epic!

Much better than the normal bring bar/club/strip joint

Ah pub footwear. That is all you need. Everything else is to throw you off the scent.

 

[bledd]

Sounds to me like your so called friends are just going to take you into the woods & rape you in the **** then pop your eyes out leaving the 20p pieces in place as a warning to others.

You're invited too?

I can't wait
