First camp of the year this weekend so I've been getting everything ready and also getting all the new gear I bought over the Winter ready for it's first trip!

Errr, I may have overdone it! And these pics don't include our clothes etc, duvet, pillows, food, drink, fairy lights, charcoal and so on!






It's all got to go into a Ford Focus Estate though I've put the roofbox on. I'm not sure the trailer will be ready for this weekend!

Oh - the white garden chairs aren't coming - they just photo-bombed!

At least if you're going for the weekend you won't need many clothes.

Haha - going for 3 nights, just 2 of us!

But - it would be the same thing if we were going for longer, just a few more clothes.

In August there are 3 of us going to Aberystwyth for a week so we'll also lose the larger (60%) of the back seat plus load space behind it so will definitely have to take the trailer then!

To be fair it's admirable that you made concessions on cutting down the trousers to make some room!

Have a great time. The weather will be with you.....take a brolly and a spare one ...just in case.

Haha - yes, it was a shorts kind of day!

I'd love to take the van but actually when I do take the van and stay away for work the van is fully loaded with work gear so there is no room for camping stuff. I'm away in July for work and will need the trailer just for the minimum amount of gear!

The idea of taking everything this time is that I want to do a few video reviews on some equipment and also a short video on luxury camping/glamping

I think your Focus will need some hocus pocus to fit that lot into it - good luck!

Lol been there n done that. Started with one car then two cars then onto the works van but back to a bigger car with addition of a new trailer. Only two of us too but wife won't allow EHU! (No tech etc) just her and I but she she can squeeze in her 12v straighteners!. We had a weed out late last year ready for new stuff this year, so our planned little trailer has doubled in size within 3 weeks lol.Think I should have got the bigger one now doh.
What trailer is 'getting ready'HighSlayer.
