I like my coffee, but need something I can take with me, that's not instant coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mamba Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 I've spent the last week or two making lists, so thought I'd better start acting on it. Received a Decathlon order this morning including self inflating mat, welly insoles (won't need those), and lantern. I also had an Amazon voucher burning a hole in my virtual pocket, so just ordered a sleep mask, rehydration tablets and a portable urinal (a pot to piss in). Also got a bottle of Red Leg to decant at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got Sainsbury's own this time - they're ok and they'll do the job without having to faff about with cafetiere or an AeroPress but I have had Taylors in the past and they're pretty good.

I'm still tossing up between a mat and an airbed - I think I'd probably prefer the firmer mat but I kinda want to take a double and those seem bulky asf (or really expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure thicker ones would be better, but they get pretty expensive, even more so if you want a double. This one is pretty small and light when packed away.

Yeah I was looking at the double version of that but it just folds in half rather than rolling up which is super annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you both. Thats what I want, something that doesn't involved much 'faff' but still decent coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought a second pair of Sealskinz waterproof socks (which hopefully won't be needed - actually, thinking about this I should have bought them closer to the festival, kept them in their packaging and returned them if not used). Shortlisted some sunglasses (will be in desperate need of these, obviously). Put in an offer for a daypack on eBay. Designed and ordered a custom Blutarsky T shirt. What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you’re gonna let it be the worst. “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Expensive anti-blister socks arrived. Not impressed initially when I put them on but they’re very comfy once inside a pair of shoes. Fingers crossed they work. Anyone else tried Danish Endurance? I think they were recommended in @jimmillen’s foot fetish thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather90 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Off camping this weekend with my expat group. Good practice run for the tent to check it's all in working order. Packed my bag and checked the weight, with all the camping gear, clothes, 6 cans, 1L gin and 1 bottle of wine in it's 20kg. I reckon I can manage another 15 in a front bag and a shoulder one or 2 to cover the extra days. On the other hand I'm slightly dreading the walk from the gate to camp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
