Our first camp without showers, any advice?

[IOnlyReadtheDailyMailinCafes]

We have portaloos and a standpipe.

Is it going to be a cold wash in the tent?

Do you just tie your hair back and relax?

how long are you going for?

argos do a solar shower in their sale. here bargain at £8.79

wet wipes?

boil kettle and take a bucket?

Yep..How long are you going for?
It'll have to be a wash in the tent then i guess.

If it's only for a weekend just don't wash. If it's for longer find a swimming pool.

go to a local leisure centre and use their shower

We are going Friday to Monday.

I was planning on wet wipes kettle and bucket

That shower is out of stock locally and online. How does it work?

you can probably get one from millets or somewhere. i've never used one, but i'm guessing that you fill it with water,leave it out in the sun to warm up, hang it on a porch pole and let gravity do its thing?

if your not getting salty or muddy, wet wipes/ flannel will be adequate.

Will just have to get the sex in on night one.

lol.... eww.

washing bowl and flannel, stand on a towel

washing up bowl

Depending how long you are going for...

I go for 3-4 days without a shower, but usually am near the sea at least and have a dip or 2.

I heat water and wash all the essentials with that and some shower gel, use a head band/baseball cap to cover my greasy hair by the end.

wow, loving sss's portable power shower :-)

just go with the filth, all that messing round with solar showers and the like will be a pita

Strip wash in the tent with a flannel and a washing up bowl of water heated on the stove - easy peasy, works fine

Friday to Monday really shouldn't be an issue without a wash. Everybody is going to be equally smelly and it'll keep the midges off.

I remember by mum 30 years ago in our tent saying 'look at these amazing new things - they're called 'wet ones' and a wipe down with these is as good as a bath!'
I remain unconvinced, but a weekend wouldn't bother me.

I have bought some dry shampoo , wet wipes and some flannels.

wet wipes for all your bits. Washing up bowl for hair washing if its greasy. (with water heated by your stove obviously)
