What camping equipment are you all bringing?

[t1grm]

What’s the bare minimum camping equipment you can get away with for Le Mans? I’m thinking:

Tent
Sleeping bag
Sleeping roll
Pillow
Tent lantern
Portable chair
Shoulder bag

Last two for carrying round the circuit. Anything else I’m missing apart from change of clothes and bathroom stuff?


Forgot to add: Radio and camera!

Insect spray, bottle opener (or teeth!), cooking equipment (circuit food can be expensive!) a cheap camping stove + pans for the bacon butties (washing up bowl optional) cutlery + mug, flexible keep cold for beer.

Our moto :- Travel light


Karen
Plus enough car spares to open our own branch of Halfords.

Edited to include :- this year we are taking the even bigger party gazebo, 2x6 metre flags + poles, swimming pool, generator, PA system, rope lights, disco ball, projector (for the Surrey Run DVD cinema experience).

Nah... will be doing all the eating and drinking at or near the circuit so no need to faff around with camping stoves, cool boxes and all that cr*p

Fly spray is a good idea plus sun cream. Forgot about that... very important after last year!

Yes, and a car!

[Tripps]

Personal FM radio, and you can never have enough

A mobile phone charger always useful too...

Forget the pillow, just roll up a fleece (spot the idiot with no luggage space in the car !)
Beer vouchers
Paper plates, plastic cutlery equal zero washing up.
Beer vouchers
Hat ?
Beer vouchers
Comfy walking type shoes for the hike down to Indy & Arnage corners at night, plus homing beacon to get back (why does it always take so bl**dy long ?? )
Beer vouchers
Emergency bog roll....and immodium !

oh, don't forget the beer vouchers.....

Babywipes and a small bottle of antiseptic hand wash, very useful for calls of nature 'camping style' !

Not that I'm surrounded by the blasted things at home, but Huggies are great - still have my pack of Le Huggies in the garage for hand cleaning

How we got all this in the back of the Coupe I'll never understand!



Another month and we'll chuck it all in the Korean Missile again and head due south! At least it's a 2.0 this year and not a puny 1.6...

Looks like its on fire mate!

A boot, that's luxury, we managed to get everything in an S3 boot one year, with the roof inside the boot too, thank god for soft bags!

Last year it was like being in the support vehicle, even had a beer chiller in the back, after setting up camp, we opened a few cold ones to chill out to

Aye, just waiting on a call back from the guys who want the ticket - will be in touch as soon as I hear something.

[RossC]

No worries, just drop me an email when you know, no rush.
