APK has sleeping bags, sleeping pads and tents available to borrow, so it’s okay if you don’t own all the equipment. However, it is important to especially bring your own warm, weatherproof clothing and shoes. A letter will be sent to those who have registered for the trip during week 21, reminding them of the equipment that is needed.

Also, TYY and its many sub-organisations will be serving refreshments at their own points near Yliopistonmäki between 10am and 2pm, so you can start your May Day Eve celebrations with a punch round if you like so.
