I love these holidays too. Have to agree with the other items the other posters have listed too.

Also don't forget matches and a couple of candles!! (we had a power cut for a couple of hours the last time we went :rolleyes: )

We were quite lucky as there was a 24 hour tescos a quarter of a mile from the park we were staying at so quite handy for picking up little things we'd forgotten or run out of, so didn't have to pay the over inflated prices from the parks shop.

Have a good weekend :j .

I wanna come now sounds like your going to have so much fun / Yes i loved famous five i so want to buy the books again i might be 25 but its great to get lost in a world of smuggling adventure and islands.

Dandellion and burdock is nice too . Its excitng going on camping holiday my parents used to take a car full and the caravan was full .

My mums like mary poppins you would be suprised what she pulls out at the right moment
When we were kids if you ever said thing like i wish i had bought x or y mum would pull it out the cuboard and go good job i remembered .

It was the best time ever i have fond memories of our many camping trips

A frisbie. A disposable bbq as its a guaranteed way to con persuade any man to cook. Alcohol. Lots more alcohol. Ear plugs for when the van next door starts rocking.

Pack of playing cards! Small first aid kit - plasters, paracetamol etc! Irn Bru?

Last time I was in Dornoch, there was a small butcher (somewhere round the back of the Cathedral) that sold all kinds of weird and wonderful meats - Ostrich etc. Interesting but quite pricey - may be good for a special treat!

I'm going very OS for my Sun week away next week, as I will be taking batch cooked frozen servings of my bolognese sauce, chilli con carne, beef curry and chicken curry. 3 x 100g of rice and 100g of spaghetti. 2 mini naan breads. Parmesan cheese. 4 x 250ml bottles of beer.

Apples, oranges, bananas.

Coffee, orange juice, bread, spread, marmalade & Marmite should cover breakfasts.

Washing up liquid, Stardrops, cling film, foil, kitchen roll, toilet roll.

Camera, battery charger. Laptop, MP3 player, speakers. I've also got quite a few books to get read.

I think I'll print this post as a checklist.

I always carry a HSE 1 person first aid kit & torch in the car. Actually, if I put any more emergency equipment in the car, I will have to respray it dark green with a "2" on the roof!

I like caravan holidays under my current circumstances: they are bigger and better equipped than where I'm living at present!

Don't forget to take washing up liquid, cloth & tea towels. A must have. Easy to forget.

Take a hot water bottle if you have one then if its cold outside you can have a nice warm bed. Oh and a decent knife the ones in caravans are never good.
I was caravanning at Easter in the snow so I hope the weather is better for you. Are you going somewhere nice?
Anyway enjoy it.
