Bog roll!


Plus shovel, matches/gas lighter and hand sanitizer!


Shovel to dig hole, matches etc to burn bog roll as wild animals will dig up s**t to eat so do not want 'used' paper blowing around countryside and last item is so you will (hopefully) not get the trots!

I need to hide these details from my Mrs as she isn't overly keen on camping. I'll need to find campsites with first class facilities if this trip is going to happen... Shocked

Thanks for all the help guys.

Cheers

Just remmeber you need to break her in gently.... if you take her to the best places striaght ways your setting the expectation too high for future trips Thumbs Up

My Mrs was happy camping in a tent but now someone has shown her there are tents that can have wood burning stoves in there to keep her warm shes dead set that we need one before we can go camping again Rolling Eyes Russell

She's already used to a tin tent with all mod-cons, so too late for a gentle break-in period... Confused

Hey, ho....

Cheers

Thanks Brendan, good advice as always.

There are two of us, generally fit and healthy 55 year olds...Smile

Like the idea of (single) camp beds though, just so we're off the ground - although I've heard they may be colder due to air circulation..?

I'll be off to the Harrogate show, so can have a good look there.

Cheers

Simon


if you don't fancy cold air blowing underneath camp beds you could consider Exped air beds for each of you. These are pricey but are down filled to trap warm air. I used the 9DLX version for my camping trip to Norway in the winter
