Things to bring

[pikey]

When I was in the scouts, the leader told me to pitch a tent. I couldn't find any pitch, so I used creosote.

I have a few cans of that spray you put on shoes to make them waterproof. Will that work or should I pop back to a camping store and get some actual Fabsil?

Fabsil is the proper way, but as you don't use your tent much, just whack some spray on it

I thought of bringing the gazebo. If we don't use it, it stays in the boot. If we need it - voila! Instant cover. And it has 2 zip on side wall thingies against the elements....
Must remember to get that 'flag pole', mxdi!!!

Actually i need to bring my portable Wickerman and matches (and a syphon tube for some petrol)

As punishment if Ted was lieing about my reason for coming.

burriana said: talking of tents .. if like me, you don't use it that often, might be worth checking it before you set off. Mine was slightly damp (oh Lord there's plenty for you to go out here Vix ) before it was put away last time and smelled a bit mildewy to say the least - it is currently flapping in the breeze in the sunshine in an attempt to air it! You may well find its waterproofing qualities are now severely reduced. Did that once myself you see!

It's only the inner sleeping section that's a bit stained. The main outer bit looks fine.
