Camping for beginners....

[buster]

I shall mostly be attempting camping for the first time.... (The type with tents rather than evolving an effiminate walk).

So far must-have list includes:

Tent (Borrowed, no instructions)
Inflatable "bed-type-thing"
A L C O H O L
More ALCOHOL (Just in case)

What else do I need??????????

We shall be arriving abt 2000hrs on Friday, when the tent assembly display will commence. (No tickets required, free beer!)

Come and find (read HELP) us!

I think you have everything you will need right there

Make sure you have some tent pegs with your borrowed mansion, and you might want to take a mallet (may only be needed to resolve the inevitable rows during erection ).

Have you considered sleeping bags, or is to to be 'al fresco Greg' sitting in the corner of the field, covered in grass stains and clutching a can of Special Brew.

Tent
Inflatable mattress
Sheet
Duvet or sleeping bag
Pillows
Warm top / sweatshirt
Toilet roll (you never know - they might run out)
Blanket to sit on.
Torch.

Plus some boxes of wine and disposable cups (for when the beer tent closes!!)

It's not like Le Mans as it's not as hot or dusty so one doesn't get that minging. LM can be (was not this year) awful when really really hot!

4 man tent that Mrs Slinksport's Dad reckon's we'll have "fun" putting up!
Airbed, with puncture
sleeping bags

duvet
Camping Gaz cooker

We intend to get there around about 19:00hrs so our prelude to your tent extravaganza will commence shortly after!

Can we book two tickets for breakfast???

Camping Gaz cooker

It is traditional to bring a disposable BBQ (or 5) on which you ceremonially burn some unidentifiable meat while dancing round a la Spinal Tap clutching the alcoholic beverage of your choice (the coldest one {if posh} or the first one that falls into your hand)

Cancel by breakfast ticket - I'll play the "identify yr food" game instead. Slight problem being that we're not actually bringing any food!!

Can I borrow something overcooked just for photographs?

[planetdave]

You could throw a 'smart' driver on the BBQ - they're used to getting roasted

Man walks back half an hour later.
"I'd also like to buy a tent please"
Salesman - "To camp"
Man (deep butch voice) "Sorry, I'd like to buy a tent please"
