Bog roll!

Spare socks in a placcy bag to keep em dry.

Bottle of pop/water for the hangover next morning.

Torch.

As sadie said, roll mat, still getting some frost this time of year.

Extra pack of heavy duty wet-ones if it is your first rally Wink

Couple of black bags for rubbish, in-tent vomiting or as an ersatz poncho if it pisses it down.

Bottle of coke for the JD so you avoid paying 'catering van' prices for a can.

Stuff to get there

Beer bag/jacket with big pockets. Avoid queus at the bar by stocking up your pockets, leathers don't have beer can sized pockets.

Silly hat

giant candles to sit round in the field after festivitied die down.

Check your tents waterproof before you go. Doh! I got VERY wet and ended up coming home early. Now have a better tent.

Leave that at home, an empty beer can works very well and it's an excuse to start drinking. Smile

Bring meat! We should have the BBQ going at some point over the weekend. Thumbs Up I will ring Shellshock tomorrow to find out what time you guys are arriving, the other half can't get away from work so it's going to be about 7-8pm Fri before we get there.

As well as the BBQ we are also bringing one of his famous gas-bottle heaters for sitting-around-chewing-the-fat-late-into-the-night purposes.

Wooly gloves & wooly hat may not be a bad idea at the moment cos it gets bloody cold at night (surprising how warm you stay in your tent with a wooly hat on!)

^^^ 2 man! Lots more space in tent for stuff and its not much bigger than a 1 man tent. 1 man tents are not designed for people over 6 foot tall.

Naw it's OK, we will be on 2 bikes & with the trailer too so we're bringing the big tent and loads of stuff!

We should be able to find somewhere big enough to set up camp, and we'll find you easily cos the site's not that big!
