Still to buy

3 single outwell dreamcatcher
2 lanterns
pots and pans
5 x chairs
outwell eco coolbox
mallet and spare tent pegs
sleeping bags but not too sure on the best to buy
There are probably obvious thing that i have forgotten about,so please let me know.
Good news is a lot can be brought from home like pans and torches. Other things can be bought at places like B&M Bargains (plates, stoves etc etc).
Don't skimp on the beds, that's my main bit of advice. A sleeping bag can be supplimented with a duvet - grab the one from your own bed or I keep a 4.5tog duvet with cover on just for camping.
The 'two box' principle is a good place to start, grab two sturdy lidded plastic boxes and use one as a kitchen box and the other for everything else.
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.
