Yeah, I know. Without getting too Walworthonian about it I was really beginning to hope and believe in the first full-on scorcher without a drop of rain since 95. I should have stuck to the never look at the forecast before Tuesday evening school of thought.

Yeah I did, until last year when that very same Walworth fed me with easy 'starters'... I could handle it, I said to myself... he's an evil weather pusher that man.

I love you! Thank you.

WTF is a sack truck though?

I love you! Thank you.

Something entirely necessary to carry that tonnage. Coolbox with Ice?

No worries.

Trolley with pneumatic tyres.

How am I supposed to keep my vodka and mixers cool?

They're the dog's.

Noone should be tempted to buy flimsier looking ones. As I did in 2004. When we loaded up, people around us said "Oooh... wish we'd got them".

They fell apart in 50 metres, and we had to abandom them in a pile of shame.

yes - any trolley that folds or has non pneumatic tyres will not make the journey from car park to site in one piece. ask me how i know

 

[paolo]

Yer allowed.

I buy my mixers on site... but that is a bit more pricey. Still, you got the sack truck, so load up! Please pack non-slimline tonic for me, ta.

I'm all ears. It'll help me get over the humiliation of 2004.

 

[Tort]

I also have a heap. It predominantly consists of numerous assorted items of fancy dress. I used to be so good at all this regular camping business but campervanning has chewed me up & spat me out all soft & disorganised.

 

[Tank Girl]

I'm not allowed to buy a sack truck

 

[Looby]

I'm not allowed to buy a sack truck

How come? How are you getting down btw?

 

[Tank Girl]

cos we've got nowhere to store it.

we're driving down. we're hiring a car. the two drivers haven't driven for four years

Hang it on a hook & call it wall art!

It'll be fine I'm sure.

I've got quite a big porch so I just hung clothes on it last year. It doesn't take long for my tent to look like my house.

See I'm unprepared-leccy add the bits in bold to your list too.

 

[wiskey]

I always take more than seems necessary to some people but I have to work and don't get so fucked I don't care I've only got two t-shirts.

And we're going for 10 days.

I take lots believe me. I have deliberately not listed my clothes after that thread in sobbing and knobbing went so wrong.

(@wiskey) *And subtracts a few things*... I think it was the corner sofa and ornament display cabinet (illuminated) that didn't make the grade.
