Julie basic requirements , tent , sleeping bag , change of clothes usually a good idea (specially for RALLY VIRGINS) , tent light handy too .

Usually a chuck wagon open in a morning for tea , coffee , breakfast.

I'm sure there will be plenty of volunteers to ride your bike across field for you .

Julie.. couple of other things i find usefull... Toilet roll, tek it off the roll and fold flat, less bulky. Wet wipes (not always a washroom, so good to freshen up with) Can't think of owt else at the min, fastjock has covered it really. Not long to go now!!

A decent air mattress is a godsend.

There are proper showers at Ripon Racecourse .

Good idea wi the bog roll Kaz , specially at rallies with porta-loos they usually run out .

If taking an air mattress a good pump would be useful too .
