What to Bring

Getting very excited!!!

Here is what I'll be bringing, on the bike. Maybe it will help others (other first time campers perhaps) remember something they had forgotton or in fact for some of you to remind me to bring something!

Here goes:

Camping:-
Tent
Sleeping Bag
Airbed / Mat
Clothes for weekend
Shoes
Medication (legal, honest!)
Phone Charger
Black Sacks (for serperating any wet stuff)
Towel
I.C.E Card
Torch
Painkillers (Just in case...)
Pillowcase
Earplugs
Camera

Sanitary
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Mouthwash
Hair Gel
Small Mirror
Bog Roll!
Deodorant
Babywipes
Soap

Bike Related
Can of lube
GPS
Waterproofs
Tololkit
Spare Key
Waterproof's
Pack some tools

Anything else I missed? I dont want to be asking people to borrow obvious things all weekend becuase I've forgot

My thoughts in bold above

Wouldn't bother with the bike cover, but if you've got the space...

If you've bought the AR clothing then you need to pack one tshirt and/or hoodie less

Because I'm in the cage I shall be bringing everything!!!! I'm sure far more than I need

I bought a tent with an extra bedroom so the bike will be sleeping in there - no cover needed, either that or the bike can sleep with me and my OH can sleep in the spare room

List looks pretty complete, liking the spare key reminder, keep meaning to do that and never do!!

never mind the waterproof for the bike don't forget a waterproof for you oh and ear plugs for sleeping in

Mouthwash - Eh, personal preference. The meds I take leave a nasty after-taste in my mouth first thing which brushing doesnt seem to rid of. I'll bring a travel sized bottle, wont take up much space.

Bike Cover - Um...was just thinking if it chucks it down...maybe I wont bring it then!

Lube - Small, again since I will be covering lots of (possible wet) miles, a good idea? Am I just being paranoid then?

What would a useful bike sized toolkit comprise of?

Spare key - noted.

Thanks

Ah yes, Earplugs!

Nice one.

If it's raining, then the bike will get wet.

Toolkit, whatever is under the seat in the oem. Chain lube isn't a bad idea.
