doggy.lover Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Hoping there'll be some other meat eaters too? As I'm B&Bing it not camping I won't have anywhere to keep perishables but will contribute to the alcoholic side of things You're more than welcome to share with us Oh, I am a carnivore, I was just thinking that someone was bound to be bringing carnivorous barbecue equipment (that sounds wrong but you know what I mean)! I will bring some sossidges and baps, but I don't have the actual cooking stuff. you can use ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil_angel Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Ive not been on a camping trip before so suggestions of what items to bring would be v useful for me. I have a basic idea but knowing me I would probably forget something important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyP Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 I'm no help with the bbq stuff, cos I dont have one. But I'm thinking of bringing a 5 ft collapsable paddling pool if its hot, so the dogs can have somewhere to cool down, if its warm. I'll also bring a garden version of Connect Four, or us to play with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
safneo Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Ive not been on a camping trip before so suggestions of what items to bring would be v useful for me. I have a basic idea but knowing me I would probably forget something important. Think of cooking, drinks, (for you and dog). Plates, cups, cutlery, bottle/tin opener, teatowel, bin bag. Sleeping, sleeping bag, Jogging suit or something warm in case its cold at night and an extra blanket or two, bed. Change of clothing, towels and washing stuff, flip flop type shoes for early morning visits to the loo Torch, mallet for tent pegs, cool box or bag to put food/drink in. Seating and corkscrew thing to stop doglet from wandering. Its only for a weekend so I'm sure what you forget someone else will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 the disposable barbecues are very good and quite cheap. Remember to place it on stones or earth if you don't want to set the grass alight - I do speak from experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycas Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I think that a lot of campsites don't like you using disposable barbecues though, because of the potential damage to the grass - I'm sure the last OC camping meetup the camp site had that rule. Does anyone know if this one allows disposable barbies, before everyone goes out and gets them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember to place it on stones or earth if you don't want to set the grass alight - I do speak from experience. lol I did one once and put it high up so the dogs couldn't get to it, stupidly I put it on the rabbit hutch forgetting the heat also goes through the bottom of the tray ..... turned out to be the most expensive bar-b-q ever cause I had to go out and buy a new rabbit hutch .... doh !! Can't believe how quickly its coming round. Am working on the name tags .... I have just bought the 'screwer in the ground' thing from Pets at Home so that Lady can have some freedom without legging it. It was only £3.99 for anyone who is looking to get one. Still need to buy a mallet though ! Saying lots of prayers that we have the fine weather we have now at the end of June x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycas Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I am not going to buy a mallet, if the ground is that hard I'll borrow one ! unless you are all planning to be using your mallets all weekend, in which case I shall use a shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico's mum Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I have a spare folding camping chair if anyone needs one - have also "appropriated" about 30 plastic cups from work so that should be enough for ooooh an hour. I can also bring a FirstAid kit if anyone thinks it a good idea? Can also provide Cycas with a mallett - well it came with some work furniture but should do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranirottie Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 that is the most important bit of the trip...................the cocktail evening. Cindy makes some great,but lethal,cocktails. On one camping trip I had to be escorted back to my caravan by a very wobbly Cindy and Debs/Whitetiger because being an almost non drinker the cocktails hit the spot very quickly and I was almost legless !! x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
