Camping shops      for the gear and most open tomorrow

for the normal stuff ,  Primark are doing the blankets for a pound

Trug,  bag / box / bowl will do,  

Handwarmers....  Hot water bottle with furry cover, reusable

Trip to Poundland,   UFO lights and anything else that seems like a good idea at the time 

As far as the stove is concerned why not go for a "suitcase" style they're about £10 in most camping stores. It will be man enough for boiling water and cooking up "simple" dishes like pasta/rice etc. Gas cannisterss are available from all sorts of places including some "pound" shops.

Good luck with your search and happy camping.

hi

forget the igloo marine coolers as they are more expensive than the maxcold range  difference is the marine coolers are for sea boats and are pure white and have iv protection built into the plastic to stop them discolourng so look at the igloo range of coolers ie maxcold range  for 5 day coolers for max preformance  all other igloo coolers will keep food fresh up to 3 days plus please bear in mind all igloo coolers are manufactured in houston texas and these test are done there  where its 90 degrees humidity these coolers will preform much better in our climate all igloo coolers are in stock

Right Campers...i need your help and fast.

We go away on Friday and i still need a cooler box(the lid has broke on our last one) a sleeping bag, air bed pump, mallet, a trug or folding bag (for dirty dishes) fleece blankets, camp kettle, multiplug(maybe) stove and i was thinking about getting some hand warmers to set off and throw into the sleeping bag if it gets a bit cold at night?

My partner is diabetic so we need a cooler box to store his insulin. I was thinking about a Coleman 34 Litre Excursion found it for 29.89 or a Igloo marine 52 found one for 36.89.

On sleeping bags...thinking Vango Nitestar.

Stove i am just thinking about getting a campinggaz one ring stove. It'll only mainly be used for coffee and possible quick meals like super noodles etc. Nothing fancy.

Really need opinions before Monday and where is best to find them...

We are going to wales for a few nights but its all be arranged last min.

Managed to get a 3person tent for £50, airbed for £19 and a touch for a fiver.

I use to camp loads and my parents still do so i am going to borrow from them, but they are also going away the same weekend to a different area so its basically whatever they arnt taking. lol.

Thanks in Advance.    you want more then a touch for a fiver.

Hi Stezzle, I've been diabetic for over 30 years & have never needed a coolbox to store insulin.  Actually if insulin is cold it stings when you inject it so my advice is not to cool it.  It wont go off unless its extremely hot (a lot hotter than we really get in the uk), Obviously keep it as cool as you can but dont worry too much about it, unless your camping abroad in a very hot area.  When I was in Thailand a few years ago it was very very hot so I just kept my novopen in its case wrapped in a damp face cloth & my blood sugar stayed at about 4-6, which is good. 

Obviously cooling his beer is a lot more important :-) so an igloo is a good idea.   I think costco have some marine 52's for about £26

Glad you had a good time and good weather, It has been grey, cold or wet since Thursday last, 27th. Did you find the local camping shop?  more importantly, was he open ?? he is a lazy sod !!

Now you know you can do it.  You can try further afield and just enjoy camping all the more. [   It's supposed to be relaxing you know ??]
