to Latitude
There is nothing quite like the stress of the Davies family trying to get the car packed to go away on holiday. This is further exacerbated when there is camping involved, and on this occasion packing stuff for 7 people in a campervan that is really comfortable with two.
It isn’t that seven people are coming in the campervan. We have auxiliary vehicle Nissan Micra carrying the main body of campers. The tents are going in the boot of the Micra because they will be camping in a different field to the campervans. It makes sense for them to take the light stuff and pitch the tents whilst we carry the rest of the gear to base camp in the van.
We won’t have driven the van so heavily laden before. It’ll be fine. The van is a very comfortable drive in a straight line and hopefully the field won’t be wet and we won’t sink in. The weather forecast is looking very good for the weekend so I’m sure it will be fine.
We are off to the Latitude Festival in Southwold. I’m very excited really. Just quite stressed at the moment. It’s a good job I got a lot of the packing done yesterday.
Pics and vids in due course. I’m not taking the laptop. Probably.
