Ah, packing. I hate it. But I’m going glamping! In fact, by the time this is published I’ll have been glamping and be home again but in real time, I haven’t gone yet and so I have to pack and so I give you my (summer) glamping packing list.
Last time I glamped it was December and so my relevant experience is almost entirely irrelevant. I spent three days damp and freezing, with no way to dry out soaked boots and towels and then there were those early mornings kneeling in the dust, squinting at the woodburner in the dark, blowing ash into my own eyes. Take it from me, glamping loses most of its glamour in winter. Oh, June, I love you. I’m also only going for two nights this time, which works out at about 40 hours so I don’t really need to take much at all. But I know me, I’m an overpacker and I bet even after carefully making this list of too much stuff, I’ll end up taking more.
Clothes
Not clothes
It’s not just clothes I’ll need on my glamping packing list – there’s so much stuff I’ll want to take too, for evenings and nights and eating.
Is that everything? It seems a lot for what’s effectively one day away. I guess we’ll find out – I’ll soon realise if I’m missing anything and you’ll hear about it in the first of the glamping blogs. Because I’ve slightly overfilled my June calendar of delights, the posts won’t be until the end of the month or the beginning of July but you’ll be getting the first of the tree camping blogs on Monday and that’s going to be fun!
