The following is a list of things that I wish I’d taken……………..
- Small head torch
- Shower bag (waterproof), although, I could use a carrier bag
- Shower gel
- Dressing gown or something to walk back from the shower block in
- Hat

____________________________________________________________
Because there were 3 tents worth of people sharing the same little camping area we all muddled in together, sharing gas canisters, sauces, pot washing facilities, gas stoves, cooking utensils, cooking pots, sunscreen & probably other things which I’ve forgotten.
What’s your must pack items when you go to a festival or camping in general?
Bye for now.
