Advice from those who know

2 man mountain tent and a thermarest each.

pretty quick to sort out in the morning, and very comfortable.



Though I have been vetoed this year by the long haired 0A and we are taking a larger tent.
Still sticking with a nice warm thermorest though, should be pretty quick once we get the rehearsals done.

I can see why there were so many wrong turnings on the Tulip Maps last year now!!!!!


Ooops, sorry about the give-away Keith

I have less than fond memories of a Glaswegian call centre gimp booking me an appointment in Northampton because they thought it was near Southampton.....

You've never worked for Commercial Union have you Frank?

for all your help on that on

Now any advice on what tools to have in my toolbox

apart from a dirty great big hammer

I know our Jap amigos carry a small screwdriver; to take the lens cover off in case a bulb fails - but I don't think they carry anything else.

Length of scaff tube for straightening track rods with - eh Tony

Is that for real or are you just taking the pee

We have just bought some camp beds, similar to the issue ones but a little more lightweight and short enough to fit in our tent, far easier and quicker than blowing up and deflating air beds each night and they don't take up much space Argos 927/8376

How VERY dare you!!!

Dee Aldi are selling the same folding beds for £20

Oh I don't go in there are they Regatta? Oh well, we got ours now

No these are poshhh ones

i have a double air bed[i must have a lot of hot air], i bought a battery powered air pump it only takes a minute to blow up, it was a £5 from Winfields a good buy.

extreeeemly posh , mmmmmmmmm however i'm thinking £5 air bed, poundshop battery, 10days / nights of breaking camp I'll take a spare Aldi camp bed for you but they do increase in cost once transported into the depths of the black forest.

Thank you all

But can we get back to the topic of TOOLS

Will i need any and if so what?

We will have a selection of tools in both AA trucks so we should be able to cope with most roadside jobs. More weight more fuel used more chance of breaking stuff. Most will say that they took loads but never used anything! But what if??????

I took selection of pipes, water etc, some brake pads, just incase, and my basic tool kit, but you will have the AA teams with you, and you get AA european cover as part of the rally nneds etc.

I can't say what you would need for a green oval thing, perhaps a magnet, to pick up the bits that fall off, but as normal, the Mitsi didn't need any thing, I think I lifted the bonnet one day, that was only to show another oval owner waht a decent motor looks like mind !!

LOL

will just take some basic stuff then

Take a spare engine if you've room
