Kit packed

Tonight we loaded up the trailers and we might have chosen rather too large ones. But hey ho... we have all the kit we need and it's all off to Switzerland tomorrow. Andy and Rob are towing them and will be there Saturday afternoon if all goes to plan. So... all we are relying on is 2 land rovers to work flawlessly and not to break down...

gulp...

I suspect we'll be in bivvies.

...

we are traveling from T5...

...

hey! what can go wrong??


Anyway... our kit and shopping list has included the following:

10 litres Pimms. (all will become clear later in the blog)
2 new mess tents
9 new Vango 8-man tents.
2 new gas fridges
4 new petrol lanterns
£2,500 worth of fleeces, t-shirts, scarves and hoodies
£120 worth of old english sweets (see pimms reference... all to be explained)
2 shove ha'penny boards (ditto)
prawn crackers (ditto)
1,000 glow sticks
Wool for milkmaid plaits... (it all gets a bit surreal after a while)
circus equipment, bibs for sports, flag pole, bog roll, stuff for swaps, the list goes on and on...

2 days left... it's v weird seeing the kit packed up... it focuses the mind somewhat... normally i can panic the night before and do a new kit list... too late now...

so there you go, first post. Fingers crossed we'll add a few more...
