OK, so what am I likely to forget?

Also, does anyone know whether you can camp up in the campervan fields with tents before your camper teammates arrive? Our campervan driver can't arrive until 2 but I need to set up camp before then to get back to pick up the kids after school.

Linds, there was a good kit list on the E24 FB page. Or Fmail me and I'll send you mine :-)
You should be able to go and bag a space in the campervan field. Take something to mark it out with pegs/string/tape and ask whoever yoiu find yourself next to to keep an eye on it for you. Everyone is v helpful & friendly. :-)

I have to get all my stuff ready this afternoon to be collected tonight and taken down tomorrow by one of our team.

I have a chest torch for night runs but bought a head torch too as it's useful for general after dark stuff. Last year I wished I'd taken more kit but mainly because it was wet at night. A battery pack thing for charging phones is useful. Sun cream. I'm going to make some snacks to take down as I figure little & often is the way to go and I don't want to have to cook or trek to the catering tent too much: malt loaf bars, savoury muffins (spinach & feta) and banana bread.

The main thing I've forgotten this year is how to run...

The diagram / mind map on FB was VERY comprehensive! Verging on the obsessive...

Currently loading the car to get there first thing tomorrow, I seem to have too much stuff but feel I have forgotten loads!

I can't remember, do the catering take cards?

That's a helpful list. I think I've pretty much got everything. Now I'm stressing about getting enough space for both our teams to camp.

Sorry if there's already a thread for this, but I couldn't find one.

I'm a newbie...
