Right - the mother in law has come to stay (with her sister) for 2 weeks - in order to save our marriage i'm pissing off on my bike for 2 weeks or so camping mostly - the weather looks good for at least the nest week, fine, sunny about 20-22 degrees 10 at night (i live in north island new zealand). I've done a pretty comprehensive list, but i'm sure i'll forget something and think damn i wish i'd thought to take........................

any ideas?

Water, wipes, food and a torch.

I take it you don't want to save your marriage?

Your Mother in law and sister will no doubt be telling your other half it's not worth it.

Sure you don't want to stay and make up/out?

Is her sister good looking? 😈

it's a very long list! you know soap, tooth brush, tent etc. i'm sure i've not forgot anything camping wise, although i can't seem to be able to open a can of beans with the useless can opener on my leatherman tool. I guess what i'm looking for is the things you wouldn't immediatly think of, but wish you'd taken.

A Voodo doll, then when it does start to piss down and you are stuck in a tent for hours with **** all to do, you can pretend its you Mum in law and stick pins in the doll 😈

Toothpaste, toothbrush, cash to pay for B&B round the corner from where you live 😀
