amy246 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm looking at the pile of clothes on my bedroom floor, then my bag, and i don't think it'll fit. And that's just my clothes not including other odd bits such as toiletries etc. Anyone else having similar problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilkyJoe Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 we're just packing now and it will be at least 2 trips from the car to the campsite but hey ho, better too much than not enough! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirst Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah i have a feeling that I will be the same. All my stuff is on my bedroom floor/kitchen until i get home from work tonight. I just wanna pack and go now! Two trips to the car park seems to be the norm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kookye Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I assure you, you will not need half the stuff you take. Last 4 years I ended up leaving so much shit - mainly behind as I couldnt be arsed to carry it back to the car - but I took too much nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy246 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 But i'm one of those people who liked to be prepared for every eventuality - i've got everything from a bikini to a poncho packed, just in case y'know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgin-Vees Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 We're a couple of first timers too....very excited and considering multiple outfits for all weather conditions (as girlies do) BUT I think it's gonna have to be rain poncho's and wellies all the way Yep we've stressed over hair too and decided sod it in the end. And this two trips to the carpark malarkey upsets us so we're going light. The beer and cider needs to be factored in though......so much to think about.... They ought to do a mini-tractor and trailer ride right round the park to save our girl legs humping bags and shit, we'd pay. A real moneyspinner surely?! And if anyone fancies plaiting our hair on Sunday morning we'll make you a cracking cuppa for your trouble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiick Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 All my stuff is on my bed, I packed it into a 65L rucksack then realized that I couldn't be arsed to lug that around! So instead I ditched lots of bits and managed to get most things into a 35L rucksack, and just some spare shoes / cloths into a little rucksack Happy happy!

happymonday76 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) I seem to have far more stuff than you lot, but its all in my 65l rucksack apart from the tent (Quechua pop up which I'll carry ,its only 2kg) 2pairs combats 3tops 1 fleece underwear lots of socks (after last year when I got the beginnings of trench foot!) deodrant, wipes, toothbrush, toothpaste, dry shampoo, medication, hand gel and tissues (and suncream!) small hexi stove and blocks and matches small torch alum mug stuffed with coffee and sugar sachets and a couple of plastic cups sandally type things for wearing round camp (I am travelling in walking boots) sunglasses, bandana, woolly hat (to wear at night in bed!) and poncho sleeping bag and rollmat 8 cans cider 2l bottle of fizzy pop mixed with vodka 4 pot noodley type things tracker bars bag of minstrels camera I know that sounds like a lot! First year I went I massively overpacked (took a wheeley bag) which was a nightmare. Last year I didn't take any food but this year picked up the tiny hexi stove just to boil water for pot noodles and for a coffee in the mornings. Chuffed it all fits in the bag although the roll mat is attached to the outside. Edited August 20, 2009 by happymonday76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
