  • Travel Adapter - A completely different standard of electrical sockets applies there. Currently, plugs of this type are mainly used in Asian countries.
  • Rainwear and umbrella - The country's maritime climate ensures that winters are not too cold, but the other side is the lack of hot summer, frequent rainfall and a cloudy sky.
  • Fishing rod - Scotland and West Country are good places to test our equipment against salmon and trout. After purchasing the appropriate, short-term permit, you can safely cast the bait.
  • Printed maps - It's worth packaging them on the road, because there may be a problem with the internet, and if you don't have a network connection, there is no up-to-date information.
  • First aid kit - Medicines in Great Britain are quite expensive, so it is worth having the basic range of drugs with you.
  • International cards for discounts - Worth taking if you expect discounts while staying on a variety of services.
