We’ve been quite lucky with the mild weather recently, but as the nights are getting colder, it’s important that athletes are dressed appropriately for training. Athletes who are not suitably clothed for training may be asked to sit out the session. We are hoping that this would be a last resort but athletes should bring extra kit to cover all weather conditions.
An important thing to remember is that the temperature can drop quite quickly at Dalkeith, so whilst the weather at the start of the session maybe “OK”, by the end of the session, the temperatures can easily drop below zero. Children also lose heat much faster than adults so they can develop hypothermia much quicker.
Please look at the chart below for recommendations on what to wear.
