Apart from your imagination you should pack for all weathers. Hopefully we will see some sun. It could of course rain so you will need to be prepared for that. A pair of shoes for walking and layers would be ideal. Casual and comfortable clothes would be best. A small backpack would be handy for carrying your notebook and water. A refillable water bottle would be ideal. Bring any medication you need plus items that you think you can’t do without. 

We have organised everything for you so you can spend time on your writing. You will be on an island so bring what you think you may need.
