This week

This week it's looking like I'll only be camping on Thursday night, I'll be working from home a couple of days before then which is an even better way of saving those commuter miles.

The weekend was camping free, apart for the obligatory session of hanging bits of tent in the garden in an attempt to dry them out.

The next thing on my list of things to source is a couple of decent sturdy boxes to hold all the gear when in transport (in the back of the car) or in storage (at home). In an ideal world I'd get a couple of nice flight cases, a big one to hold the tent, sleeping bags, airbed (and pump) and a smaller on to contain stove, fuel, food etc. I'd like to be able to secure the boxes together with ratchet straps and then secure them to the lashing points in the back of the car. Cost may well be prohibitive though, flight cases are expensive and those Council issued recycling boxes are looking like a cheap DIY alternative!
