As I nearly forgot to pack the groundsheet for my tent! DOH!!!
Added claw hammer to the list, and have packed spare poles and repair tapes just in case I need them.
I have loaded up the car as much as possible, roll on Thursday for my next 5-nighter at Cheddar Mendip Heights!

I am in fact a big fan of lists. I even have lists for my lists. I start doing these lists roughly a week before we go on any trip be it a camping one or a holiday abroad.
So far, we have never forgot to pack anything........ thats until now as I have probably jinxed myself

I always do lists. And then I tick things that's packed etc. I find some things get listed twice as well. Think I almost like the planning better then the going!
Due to health problems I havent been camping for two years, (too long) however going to Edale early July with my daughters. So part of the whole enjoyment is compiling the list. After decades of camping trips one would think there would be a master list, but, each and every trip requires a new one. I think thats all part of the fun. Now....if I can only remember where I put it

Sorry to hijack...but are you going to Upper Booth? Had a lovely camp there a couple of weekends ago...such a lovely site and very peaceful. Enjoy!
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
