What to bring with?
  • Tip Rating:
  • Luggage with wheels is always a good idea, wherever you are travelling.

    Whether snowy/wet/sunny/warm or cold weather, layer your clothing.
    Wear thermal underwear (these are easily bought at the local clothing shops), with warm leggings and a top under a toasty jacket for the cold. I have my trusty grey duffle coat, plus a white snow jacket for this type of weather, and they are a godsend!
    Wear flat shoes that have a good grip, as when it is snowing, and afterwards, when it is sludge, it's really difficult to walk and keep your balance!
    Always remember to bring a cap/hat that covers your head and neck for when it gets hot, as well as sunglasses.

    Sunscreen (Factor 35 is the minimum factor I use, no matter what the weather is), headache tablets and usual little things like some plasters for blisters, cotton wool, germolene etc.

    Your camera, with charger, and a EUROPEAN plug extension.

    Have a map of the area handy, plus a local bird, flower and tree book. For this you also need a pair of good quality binoculars

    The white cliffs are so famous you must get a picture of them. If the sun is in the right place the effect can be stunning.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Depends on how you are travelling, but suitcases or rucksacks are fine, but we dont have a lot of porters anymore and you will be expected to carry your own stuff. Airports have luggage carriers though :-)

    Dover can vary in temprature but in Summer tops and shorts are fine in winter good warm clothing. BUT!! no matter what time of year, keep you eye on the weather forcasts and get an Umbrella, :-) it can appear even on a nice sunny day. Just use good common sense and you cant go far wrong.

    You can buy everything you need in Dover, but make sure you have enough prescriprion drugs with you to last, if you do not belong to the EU as Medical costs are high and a lot of meds cant be bought over the counter, if you are not sure go to

    they have a lot of info there.

    Dover can deal with any of your Photographic needs it may be a little more expensive than the US and Canada though.
