Camping at Blyton - what do you need?

[chris blue]

A long time since we went camping, the Mrs and I - about 10 years (West of France, rained all the time and we hated it LOL)
We're staying the Saturday night at Blyton for the music- looking forward to it

Weve got a tent, which we are gonna check out and put up in back garden over the weekend, to ensure pegs and poles are all there, and little stove kettle to make a cuppa in the morning. A liitle light, getting couple sleeping bags and have a double and single airbed and inflator

Any tips on what else we should bring?

Ask a stupid question. LOL.

A padded coat or similar for when your missus attacks you because it's cold and raining and she needs somewhere to plug her straighteners in.

A masonary drill for putting your tent pegs in, the camp site is an inch of turf over solid rock.

Mallet for tent pegs
Warm clothes for the evening (although it's mild, it's open and often windy up there)
Chair(s)

Midnight snacks

BBQ if you can be arsed, otherwise do a @Knuckles and get chinese from nearby on Friday night, and enjoy the catering Saturday night.
But snacks. Lots of snacks.

Couple of pillows.

Not to bite, but I often find I get a better nights sleep with pillows.

If you are bringing the missus fetch the duvet as well. It will allow sexy time, but more importantly warm time at 0400.

Top tip. Don’t pitch next to dave. He insists on pitching on concrete every year

Earplugs

100% this due to @JP83 as he could make a skyscraper crumble.

If you get Chinese have a fork in your bag or you are eating with sticks and your fingers.

if your car alarm goes off expect a large scream of "SHUT THE CUN*ING SCRAPPER UP" which @Gus will confirm.

Dont be a spanner like a hand full of us and decide to pack up at 1am and have a shite drive home.
