Default What you taking??????

All

Just thought it might be useful, peeps who have done it all before post a listy list of what they advise etc. That way, peeps can read it and it will surely remind you all of something you've forgotten.

Just an idea.

Anyone wanna start????? (Cause I'm useless, brain is fried and will forget something major straight away. lol )

but surely you'd already have the ear plugs wouldn't you?

I'm just going through the extra stuff we'll have that we wouldn't normally have with us

I wouldn't mind but I get them on tap at work, but always forget to get some for a weekend on the bike.

Dizzy by name dizzy by nature

They will weigh nothing and take up no space, but will require a nice set of lungs unless you have a pump. I used mine with a roll mat over the top to even out the lumps, but its up to you. Quite comfortable considering. And best of all when its time to leave just rip a couple of holes in it and pop it in the bin, no messing around.

I got a couple from millets that roll up small, not heavy either. They take just minutes to blow up without a pump and are comfy enough

Everyone remember their trusty side stand puck (or something similar too).

A beer can will do for that if you do forget, although that will mean having to drink a can of beer as soon as you get there I know it's a hardship to do that but i'm sure most will manage
