mozzi repellant!

I have a fire blanket and first aid kit,

steamer sounds like a brill idea!

micro rice(chuck it in a pan!), tinned veg, and tinned meat, can always make a meal with those simple 3 things!

nail file, nothing worse then a clicky nail

calpol and medi pack for children

epi pen if you are allergic to nuts and all that, amazing how many times one forgets hers

and...

WET WIPES!!

Apart from the obvious and essential equipment, we always take good quality large plastic boxes for shoes/cleaning stuff/cooking bits and bobs as they're so easy to pack; a large nylon bag for dirty or wet clothing; first aid kit; wet wipes; torches as well as a gas lantern; waterproof sandals for use in the shower blocks and a cheapie picnic blanket.

Happy camping

Torches. Wife says I have a torch fetish, as I have so many of the damn things. It's simply not true. (Now where did I put my copy of Torch and Lamp Weekly?)

take a baby bath (if you have one) for taking your dishes/pots/pans, to be washed up, and laundry to be washed, if you feel the need to wash clothes!

also little ones can use it as a paddling pool

Two collapsable camping chairs .... the ones that fold together corner to corner and pack into a tube bag, and have a holder for you glass in the arm. Very comfy, lightweight, and not expensive.... Mrs T got them at the Friday market in Uttoxeter for £7.50 each.

No water anti-bacterial hand wash is essential for when you just can't be bothered trudging to toilet block, esp after using bucket with lid in middle of night
