We all do it and personally I am happy when I find out what I've forgotten since it usually happens. OK, I work on the basis of a passport and a credit card get you anywhere, but - if we start this thread now - perhaps some might be reminded of things they've forgotten!

2 years ago we didn't forget as such, but I think he was working against us.

In England one of our group took out the petrol jerry cans to make room for his bag and forgot to put them back in. We found out after setting up camp. Soo to the shops to get the food/ beer and some much needed ice to chill the supplies while we found a shop selling jerry cans.

Get back to the campsite to find that he'd taken the ice out of the trolley mid shop as he thought it would melt....and never put it back in.

Warm beers all round.

Didn't forget it, and won't this time, but worth remembering... citrus oil and burners to keep the evening flies away from your candle/BBQ/lantern beer-sesh. They were a godsend last year.

Bags of ice.....you're a frickin' genius!!! I was trying to work out how I could make up a battery that could power a 12v fridge for the entire weekend! I take it there are supermarkets nearby?

Get a bin, fill with ice, leave it in cool shade and it should last for the majority..... Depending how hot it is.

Carrefour and Super U are nearby

Last year I forgot my airbed puncture repair kit.
Woke up on my arse, then went to SuperU and bought another airbed!


ICE: Super-U in Arnage sell frozen bottles of water, which I stuck a couple of in the coobox each day, then drank when it thawed.
Do they also stock bags of ice? I didn't check or see last year.

One fella that came with us last year forgot to take his passport out of the car he went over in, thus had to go via customs to get back into the UK.... May i add - the uk border agency did NOT like me trying to walk through the barrier to give him his passport. The funny side was definately not seen. haha
