Last time i went to farmyard i came upon a couple shagging in a portaloo. It was disgusting!
They didn't even say hello as i squeezed past 'em to have a dump!
How ignorant is that!?

Being 1 step away from OCD when it comes to camping, needless to say I have a packing list and hyperlinks to bargains for just about any new stuff that you may need (I'm great fun at parties).
I'll not foist it on you but if you want a copy pm me, and if you want a personal shopper I'm just up the road. Some of the local camp shops haven't brought out injunctions against me yet!

We take everything when we camp even blankets and hotwater bottles ... I get to carry those as they are my comforts.
But for basic camp Ian carries Tent, airbed, sleeping bag Cooker, pans, kettle, Plastic cup, plate, knife, fork, spoon, coffee powdered milk, packets of easy make food incase get hungry and cannot be bothered to go to food area, water carrier, Trousers 2 spare of each item of clothing, 1 very warm top and boots Toothbrush, baby wipes, loo roll, deodorant, brush. Wind up torch, fold up stool, something solid for your side stand.
I then also carry ... Extra blankets ... Mini hot water bottles... All my girly stuff .. 12volt straightners ... Solar rechargers ... Etc etc AKA esentials lol
I always end up taking too many clothes but this is what i take -
1 x tent(plus groundsheet)
1 x reflective mat
1 x sleeping bag
1 x sleeping mat(self inflating thick one)
1 x inflatable pillow
1 x petrol stove(can take fuel out of bike)
1 x small pan set(for making brews)
tea making stuff/cup
3 x knickers
2 x jeans/combats
2 x t-shirts
2 x jumper/hoody
1 x boots
wet wipes, toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrush, bandana(for bad hair days), wooly hat(for cold nights), paracetamol, loo roll(not a whole one, just as much as you think you might need), bin bag and as much cider as i can carry...fill up cider bottle (usually about 4ish when its empty)with water for morning/brews.
And i always ride there with long johns on, and an old t-shirt, so i can sleep in them if it gets cold. HTH
P.s thats for a 3 night rally, but i always pack the same for a 2 nighter too
I take an ipod speaker that's the size of a satsuma and cost about 14 quid. It's brilliant and my party carries on in my tent after the band has finished
Good idea Minnie, sounds daft but I always take a Daily Mail cos sometimes I can't get to sleep and reading knocks me out.
But I might get more exciting this year and treat myself to some music...
It's Nitro70s birthday and seems timely to remind peeps to check panniers in contact with pipes....or you too could end up with with your insulated mug welded to your rally hat....hehe, although it did make a rather fetching and unique rally accessory :)
Bugger! I'll have to take my mouth organ then, I'll soon get to sleep when somebody coshes me over the head lol!
I'll have a look at them Minnie, ought to give up reading in the tent cos eyes are going, I just read your post as it's Nitro's 70th birthday, oops
