better still, have a pilly with puck in pocket who can hop off and place puck in place... as a pilly go back several posts and see Annekas post... a girl after my own heart... especially when you only have 2 ins to place your butt on the pilly seat... ho hum....

This pilly thing seems like a good idea,do the pilly's put the tent up aswell? (Joking girls,steady)Still nothing like that first can on arrival in amongst it all. The women have it sussed,travel light,less to bother with on that bloody awful sunday or whatever day you set off back home.

May i just add, if you're taking all that kit and obviously the gear you're wearing..... Don't go with anything smaller than a 2 man tent!! It's either that or you sleep outside whilst your gear stays snuggly and warm in the tent. Personally i take a 3 man tent, room for me, my gear and a guest, though the third item has never appeared, one stays hopefull...lol

Cigarette socket for power. But you've all got one by now anyway.

Hey,Sumo,I know you`re not exactly a big lad but I think you forgot to leave a space on the bike for you to sit

Be as well with a van really, but must admit some comforts are missed as age creeps in!!!! and a bit more gets loaded every year

whats an airbed !! my squizz has an Optimate3 charger lead fitted onto her so if she dies on me, I can just whip it out and smile sweetly at anyone with an electric socket at the nearest pub... make sure you take a spare small waterproof rucksack... just cos it fitted in when you left home, you can guarantee it wont fit in when you leave the rally... failing that, a net and zillions of bungees... oh and dont forget the head torch for manic marathons over the guy ropes to the ladies on a night... think I've saved the thread boss man....

anybody got any of those sealskinz socks yet ? They are really cosy, waterproof and worth every penny.... pack a few baseliners too - couple of tops, leggings, I got a few online this years, they look a bit papa out of little house on the prairie but who cares what you look like as long as you're cozy and warm
