just a reminder for anyone who wants to still book, last day for paypal payments is 17th of this month

[UKJeeper]

I want to, but depends on whether the YJ is ready by then. Is there a chance i can let you know after the 17th?

[Nosebolt]

yea, that just the last day for prepaying by paypal cos it takes a few days to clear to the bank, if you or anyone finds they can make it after that date just PM me

You're all gona have a laugh but the break-out will be :

- first jeep meet ever
- first camping trip ever.  

So I gather that we're basically staying/sleeping in a field, with apart from two shitters, no amenities to speak of.  Got a tent, been sitting up in the rafters for ages, better check if everything is there.

If I travel up on the Friday afternoon I'm looking at 2 overnight stays soo :

- drink : dig the beer bit so will probably get a gallon of Betty Stogs (in one of those plastic containers)
- foodwise : do I cater for 2 x breakfast/lunch ?, pizza's on Sat I hear, go out to find some grub on Friday evening ?
- Jerrycan of water to brush my teeth and wash away the cobwebs on Sunday morning ?


From different threads I've read that you guys drag around heaters, stoves, fireplaces, kitchen sinks....etc...

What tips can you camping/jeep meet hardened chaps give a complete and utterrrr noob ?  

[Nosebolt]

don't know if there is a drinking water supply on site so bring some bottled water

bring more food than you think you will need, don't know about others but the fresh air make me even more hungry than usual
dried and tins are the easiest food stuffs to bring but a small cool box and then you are ok with the proper foods like bacon
some sort of stove is pretty much essential but can be a £5 throw away or a £200 all singing all dancing stove choice is your but start small (cheap) then see what meets your needs before you commit
and don't forget a kettle, sauce pan, plate and mug. sounds basic but until we got organised would regularly forget something, good news is there will be plenty of other that can help you out if you get stuck.

for saturday night pretty sure we will be able to sort a pizza run.
