What have I forgotten?

 

[larrylamb]

Wine and corkscew/bottle opener ?? Camping kettle or are you using a pan?

 

[Meoncoast]

That is what is so nice about the Cali spontaneous

 

[theonecraw]

Kitchen sink?

 

[Amarillo]

Wine and corkscew/bottle opener ?? Camping kettle or are you using a pan?

Thanks - both added.

 

[larrylamb]

Torch, Wash bags, Camping towels, tea towels, washing up liquid etc.

 

[Amarillo]

Torch, Wash bags, Camping towels, tea towels, washing up liquid etc.

Yes - all added. I like the luxury of a proper towel, even when I cycle camped the raid Pyrenean, lugging full camping gear up the Col du Tourmalet, I would not compromise on having a proper towel.

 

[Meoncoast]

Kitchen sink?

If you need one you need an Ocean would have been better

 

[soulstyledevon]

BABY WIPES, cleans kids, surfaces, big kids, the van, everything.

 

[soulstyledevon]

Awning lamp

 

[Archie]

Hot chocolate and marshmallows for the kids at bedtime
Sausages peppers onions and garlic to chop up and fry to improve the pasta
Candles / fairy lights and down jackets / hats to sit out at night (maybe in a few months!)
The nicest plastic wine glasses you can find, we got some last year that have a screw off stem/base that then fits inside the body to save space.
Booze lots more booze.....

Not sure if you have the diesel heater, but if so, maybe worth packing a carbon monoxide alarm.

 

[Julie and Archie]

Second the idea of fairy lights for ambience. Quick on/off shoes/track suit for toilet trips/early morning dog walk. I use hamman towels - work brilliantly and dry really quickly. Kitchen towel. Biscuits

 

[Bugsy]

Rubber mallet, lighter/matches, bike lock, dish cloth, more wine for when kids have gone to bed

 

[jackelliemolly]

Checked my list. Glasses sunglasses contact lens stuff. Coats and hats. Oven glove. Tin foil to wrap. Clips for packets. Water cannister. Toilet roll? Never take a chance on site supplies! Bin bags.puncture kit pump and helmets. music (iphone?) Med kit. Phone and charger. 4 way extension gang for multiple lights and chargers. Insect repellent (depends on time) How do you get 3+2 in the cali and a dog? Do you have lidded boxes to store things? Great list. Will fine tune my own. My aim is to pack less than camping not more!

 

[jackelliemolly]

Normal map book guide books and any membership cards relevant.

 

[Borris]

A couple of good quality head torches.

 

[T6 CFO]

Credit Card.

Water carrier?

 

[jackelliemolly]

Water carrier?

Beach. Not ocean. So 5 litre with lid or pourer for cooking drinking etc assuming not near standpipe. Might get a folding one instead of rigid to save space.

I was suggesting to take a water carrier

Sorry. With everything else do you go folding or rigid container? Space at premium having seen crispins and my lists! Maybe i should leave the children to save space!

Folding. Unless wild camping you can just fill up when you arrive at a site, so saving space while travelling

 

[SprintGT]

Matches to light gas, unless of course it is self igniting.

 

[Amarillo]

Awning lamp

I disagreed with the wipes as they were already listed - under the "baby" category.

Our little wind up lamp has been added.
