What's good to bring for camping?
Help.
Whats everyone bringing as far as camping stuff goes? its been years since i slept in the great outdoors and when i did it wasn't a case of getting everything on the bike either. So far, apart from clothing, i have this very short list. 1 x sleeping bag 1 x tent 1 x torch. i'm sure a ground mat thingy would be good too but they are so bulky that they are twice the size of my sleeping bag when thats compressed down. I'm lucky as i may be able to put the tent i'm borrowing in some kindly souls car and dont have to carry that but what else am i missing from that list?

Spidey, thats about it to be honest. A few carrier bags for putting (if you need to) wet shoes items in etc.
As for a roll mat. Not sure where you are based, but a trip to Decathlon in Surrey Quays is worth a visit. They do the self inflating roll mats for about £15. Smaller than a foam mat, and more comfortable to. |

Always take carrier bags with me on long trips, you just never know when you'll need one

only thing worth taking with you camping is a credit card to book into the nearest reasonable hotel.
Sorry I cannot get my head round the idea of sleeping under canvas on the deck. Yes I have done it 30 years ago and discovered that I prefer comfortable beds, hot showers, clean bathrooms, full english in the morning.
