ok have the tents Decathlon pop up 4.1 for me and 2 littes and a 2man pop up for smelly teens

5 sleeping bags gone for 3 season ones, 2 juniors 3 full size dam teens taller than me.

Thermarest mats..

Cool box on order from halfords. ditto electric hook up ditto heater/kettle

Briefcase size stove , set of mini pans,

plates/cultery

Can anyone think of any essentials that have forgotten , am going for lightweigh but the kettle is essential me without coffee in morning is not nice. Untill  passed my test we got to lug on public transport

Lighting for tent, eg wind-up torch or UFO light. Essential as it gets very dark at night, I mean, no street lights, or other artificial light sources.

Perhaps a picnic rug to sit on, too. Should be easy to rollup and stash in a backpack.

sadly no cant do without Ehu for more than few days .Youngest  is just a bout to get a power chair so going to need to plug him in , mind he will then be able to act as mini packhorse, heater could probably mange without after reading views on here have gone for decent sleeping bags.

 I forgot about lights thank you

Knife's fork's spoon's and by mini pans do u mean small house pans or small camping pans, if you use small house pans it will take longer to cook things, they small camping pans are also lighter to carry

Hope this helps

I got the 4 pan set from gooutdoors as their is only me and the wife, we have found that when we take the girls with us we could do with more pans and a bit bigger then the big pan we have already, i had the pyramid taoster and found it rubbish, that why i went to a electric toaster much better and easier as well.

Get another briefcase stove! One burner trying to cook for a family of 5 will take forever and you can at least fry up the bacon and make your coffee at the same time.

thank you

wish I stumbled across this board last time tried camping 5 years ago put self of with bad tent and bad sleeping bags

funny enough have brought a second pop up ten,think this camping stuff could become addictive , if goes well this year already have my eyes on a montana

have had another thread running about alternatives to cooking with gas so am thinking induction hob as will need camp with EHU most of the time
