What's missing from my camping list?

moonsi til
worked it out now!
Have you missed off a washing up bowl?
I would pack a few more plates, a few plastic tumblers and at least another saucepan.
I would also sack the sleeping bag in favour of sheets and a duvet.
I bought magnetic travel backgammon a few years back that has served me well through many trips.

ah yes - first aid kit - we went a bit bonkers when we went to SE Asia and have a v. comprehensive kit which we never used (although we did end up in hospital and at the doctors - almost requiring emergency surgery...
) - so our kit is intact!!gaijingirl

Yes - the duvet is tempting as the sleeping bags are not the biggest and at the moment I'm a bit big and getting bigger...

Is this a holiday or an invasion?

Some lightweight, loose-weave, cheap muslin teatowels serve a variety of purposes not the least of which is mopping up and drying but also for straining boiled stuff like pasta, rice, potatoes, veg etc...

Oi! With the poodle already
Tea lights/candles... Citronella prob best for outdoors living..
Teatowels and you havent put your toiletries on there have you?
Small sandwich bags or a couple of tubs for left overs.
Are you taking your pregnancy notes? Maybe a photocopy, just in case you get poorly...
I am totally jealous, have a wicked time

yes teatowels added - candles too (may as well - just discovered some of those stick in the ground torch candle things after clearing up my balcony). Tupperware - good one.

we just boiught an excellent portable BBQ in Waitrose called a Notebook (I think). It comes flat (and very thin) and just folds outwards like a magazine rack or whatever and you slot the grill trays into it which gives it shape. Really compact but a decent size cooking surface.

Sounds good! This right?

We were going to get one of those little inverted wok lid type things - mainly its so we can have fires in campsites where they don't let you have fires iykwim - so we can sit around some naked flame in the evening. I guess we will use it for cooking too though. If we have a chance to go to Waitrose we'll take a look.
At this stage though, we may be doing any extra shopping as we go...

also, i'd recommend gaffa tape and string. 99% chance you won't need it but good for tent mishaps.
