Sleep / Behaviour
Sleep - get a good nights sleep - no staying up late and then feeling knackered in morning - this tour is physically tough and off field prep will be key
In hotels - do not keep going from room to room, opening doors, being noisy, hanging about in corridors – avoid disturbing other guests in the hotel
Remember you are representing Surrey and behaviour has to mirror the standards we set. When in hotel always wear something on feet / a top etc when walking around.

Nutrition / Hydration Breakfast key each day / ensure you are down ready
to have proper breakfast that ticks off key areas of nutrition e.g. Leave at 8.30am - up at 7.45 with kit / breakfast & ready to go for 8.15am. Give yourself time if need something or have forgotten something
Hydration - vital to ensure we are not sick or ill. Heat & humidity will be tough especially when temps reach 80 plus. Long days equate to hydration levels being checked and kept to good levels. Check urine for guidelines / if clear then ok - if discoloured then not.
Have water bottle with you at all times and re-fill (with bottled water) regularly

Sun cream is very important so please ensure you bring plenty with you
