Packing!

[amy246]

I'm looking at the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor, then my bag, and i don't think it'll fit. And that's just my clothes not including other odd bits such as toiletries etc. Anyone else having similar problems!

[MilkyJoe]

we're just packing now and it will be at least 2 trips from the car to the campsite but hey ho, better too much than not enough!

[thirst]

Yeah i have a feeling that I will be the same. All my stuff is on my bedroom floor/kitchen until i get home from work tonight. I just wanna pack and go now! Two trips to the car park seems to be the norm!

[amy246]

I'm getting OTT over hair stuff at the min - 9 bobbles, 2 clips, 1 bow clip, 2 headbands and a headscarf - and i bet most of the time i wear my hair down with nothing in it! lol!

[kookye]

I assure you, you will not need half the stuff you take. Last 4 years I ended up leaving so much shit - mainly behind as I couldnt be arsed to carry it back to the car - but I took too much nonetheless

[amy246]

But i'm one of those people who liked to be prepared for every eventuality - i've got everything from a bikini to a poncho packed, just in case y'know!

[Virgin-Vees]

We're a couple of first timers too....very excited and considering multiple outfits for all weather conditions (as girlies do) BUT I think it's gonna have to be rain poncho's and wellies all the way

Yep we've stressed over hair too and decided sod it in the end. And this two trips to the carpark malarkey upsets us so we're going light. The beer and cider needs to be factored in though......so much to think about....

They ought to do a mini-tractor and trailer ride right round the park to save our girl legs humping bags and shit, we'd pay. A real moneyspinner surely?!

And if anyone fancies plaiting our hair on Sunday morning we'll make you a cracking cuppa for your trouble

All my stuff is on my bed, I packed it into a 65L rucksack then realized that I couldn't be arsed to lug that around!

So instead I ditched lots of bits and managed to get most things into a 35L rucksack, and just some spare shoes / cloths into a little rucksack

Happy happy!

I have got my rucksack an asda bag for life and my tent to carry they are all full but i have 1 more specific item i need to fit in and hide well for certain reasons

[happymonday76]

I seem to have far more stuff than you lot, but its all in my 65l rucksack apart from the tent (Quechua pop up which I'll carry ,its only 2kg)

2pairs combats

3tops

1 fleece

underwear

lots of socks (after last year when I got the beginnings of trench foot!)

deodrant, wipes, toothbrush, toothpaste, dry shampoo, medication, hand gel and tissues (and suncream!)

small hexi stove and blocks and matches

small torch

alum mug stuffed with coffee and sugar sachets and a couple of plastic cups

sandally type things for wearing round camp (I am travelling in walking boots)

sunglasses, bandana, woolly hat (to wear at night in bed!) and poncho

sleeping bag and rollmat

8 cans cider

2l bottle of fizzy pop mixed with vodka

4 pot noodley type things

tracker bars

bag of minstrels

camera

I know that sounds like a lot! First year I went I massively overpacked (took a wheeley bag) which was a nightmare. Last year I didn't take any food but this year picked up the tiny hexi stove just to boil water for pot noodles and for a coffee in the mornings.

Chuffed it all fits in the bag although the roll mat is attached to the outside.
