Finally got the car packed up ready for our first camp of the year. Forgot how hard it was to fit everything in. Still have to find room for the final few things, but that can wait for a while. Coffee and a sit down needed. Think I'm getting to old for this game

I'm building up to packing mine for 3 nights with my three children on my first non-husband camp. I can't take the trailer (got a towbar but can't lift the actual trailer on & off!) so it's got to fit in the boot. I've reduced as much as I can but since we left it too late to get an EHU pitch most of the car will be filled with blankets.

Have a great holiday!

Talk about a north south divide. No wind down here. Hope it improves for your trip.

Isn't it just? It has been so still down South.

I had a practice pack a couple of weeks back. We are off on an Easter break next Thursday. Just about got it all in but nowhere for hubby to sit!

Got my trailer prepped, frozen meat packs all prepared, shopping list done, prepped quite a bit like charging the batteries, prepped the doggy away kit etc., just need to prep the car so that it is ready to be loaded with provisions, iron a couple of shirts, pack the bedding and my own stuff, and I am ready for my trip over Easter.

We've gone from having an estate to a Ford Fusion (essentially a Ford Fiesta estate) to both having Fiestas, so I'm not sure where all our stuff is going to go!

We've got a roof rack and use of someone's roof box, so fingers crossed lol

Have a great time :)
