Just enjoy it. Making a list like everyone says is a very good idea, we do that because we always end up forgetting or needing something.  Plenty of wine to relax.  You should be fine. Let us all know how you got on.

Have you got the check list   http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=7

use it as a start to make your own.   Then go and enjoy

Our number one priority is making sure we have the credit cards, preferably my good ladies cards. 

You will have a great holiday

Making a list of all the stuff to take is essential - as is noting anything you have forgotten when you are there so you can amend your "master list". But is it equally important to note what you DON'T use; quite a few folks go mad with camping gadgets and then find that they are not used, or only occasionally so. However, as we all have our different style of camping and ideas about what is "essential" no one else can really advise you; in the end you have to decide what is right for you.

On the subject of the weather, I like the saying that there is no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong clothes. Whatever the forecast we take lightweight waterproofs and wellies, warm layers, thinner layers, sandals and sun hats / suncream; that way we are prepared for all eventualities. If you choose sensibly (e.g. when buying) it hopefully will pack down small, and I always take travel wash so if the weather favours some garments over others on a longer hol, I can wash them so they are clean again.

The pen and paper is a great idea. Never fails. Especially if you have a break over the winter and then get back into it again. Also stops you taking tooooo much which i can guarantee we all do

But a nice bottle of red or 2 soon makes you forget what all the worry was.

Glad you enjoyed your first time. i know i did
