Preparing to go to Oxford

[Gromit]

Tomorrow Bikepete and I are off to Oxford, as well as our clothes and presents we are taking:

A spade

Sleeping bags

Space blanket

Flask of hot liquid

Water

Food

Do you think we need to take anything else for the drive down?

I'm feeling loads better now that I have antibiotics, I'm able to face the drive down.

 

[joolsybools]

Wellies?
Pillows?
Medication?
a map/satnav?

 

[joolsybools]

Loo roll?!

Do you think we need to take anything else for the drive down?

Take your time but you're sensible enough to do that anyway

Wellies and pillows are a good shout.

We are also going to take chicken wire and cardboard with us.

 

[longers]

To make a fire with? Brazier?

 

[bikepete]

DIY ice traction pads :-)

 

[longers]

Aha, how do you use that then?

Cardboard down first or the chicken wire?

 

[ComedyPilot]

Ipod, condoms and a jar of fruit jam (seedless)

 

[bikepete]

Cat's sat on me so can't go get the wire at the mo but I was considering making them as a sandwich - cardboard in the middle...

cardboard then chicken wire on the ground, deflate tyres and you regain traction.

Hope you don't get to use them but it'd be good if you did and it worked.
Have a safe trip.

et voila!

 

[Headgardener]

Couple of 3 x 2 paving slabs in the boot. (only works on rear wheel drive vehicles).

I have a ten year old punto with front wheel drive, so it will not work. Oh well.
