that's assuming you have ehu, if not then I would take cool blocks instead of the cool box adapter unit.

any better?

lots of the stuff is quite small - all our cutlery, w up liquid, J cloths etc fit into one rectangular tupperware type box.

2 of the picnic rugs go under the ready beds as insulation. The other one is our 'carpet'

btw I love Go Outdoors! which one fmf?

fmf am I mad?

mmj of course I know which one!

got to take dd2 to school in a mo for her induction day but shall be back soon.

cheadle heath

lorks a lordy

lot of stuff

good idea about putting the rugs under the beds

Camping is one of those things that you take moreorless the same whether you are going for the weekend or a fortnight!

you'll need something to sleep on - Go have the gelert mats reduced at the moment - go and have a lie on one to see whether you like them - it would be worth me braving the traffic chaos that is the A6 to come along and have a giggle

Argos have stuff reduced at the moment too

well-have got blow up beds in the loft. wil pull them down.

come and laugh at me if you want! will be just doing a reccee-not buying anything yet.will dh have the fun of that.

we will need some kind og=f lantern type thing won't we?
