 Is it going to rain? by leics
What to wear in summer? Look here!
You can buy most toiletries easily, at chemists or supermarkets, so there's no need to carry extra supplies.
Memory cards are easy to find in electrical/photography shops and larger supermarkets. Buy films from chemists and some newsagents, but they are much cheaper from supermarkets, who also sell discounted packs of 3 or more. Supermarkets are also cheaper for toiletries and basic medicines (e.g. paracetamol, cough medicine etc).
Make sure your tent is fully waterproof......and that your sleeping bag is a warm one!
The major supermarkets ... Tesco, Sainsbury's, Safeway, Asda, Morrisons........have their own websites so you can google for your nearest branches and opening times. Leave a Comment

 ...with my trusty
umbrella at Edinburgh
Castle. by LBKesner
Bring an umbrella or rain jacket. It WILL rain.
Bring twice the film you think you'll use. Leave a Comment

Also, DON'T have them wrapped in plastic like the Air France carrier offers. It just makes the handlind for the ground crew harder and, well..
;)
This is no joke... this place get's bad weather..prepare for it!! And bring an extra pair of sneakers as well in case the others get wet!!
Try and buy all your film before comming here and devellop them home if your sure of the quality as I found theat the ones I got develloped here were more expensive..and printed on thinner, cheaper paper.
Get "The Romantic Road" guide, published by the Cheltenham Borough Council. It's a GREAT guide to driving trhough all "the good parts" of the Cotwolds. Scenic routes and historical venues, this little book gves you all the info needed for a beautifull road trip! Leave a Comment

If you go to one of the “Everything’s a Pound” or bargain shops (in effect they are just cheap tat shops) you can get one very cheap indeed, and provided you don’t intend staying more than a fortnight it should last right up until the moment when you frustratedly hurl the mangled mess of metal and torn plastic into the nearest rubbish bin on your way to the airport.

 a bit much to carry around
every day! by kathycollins
one carry-on sized wheeled luggage or backpack
comfortable walking shoes - no one you know will see if you are wearing unfashionable shoes...BE COMFORTABLE!!!!!!
And, remember - it rains here with some degree of frequency...raingear is essential!
carry all prescriptions with you- don't pack in checked luggage!
YES - don't forget a camera...I prefer digital - you don't have to worry about film exposed to radiation in transit! Leave a Comment

There is a saying in Germany:
there is no bad weather, only wrong clothing!!! Leave a Comment

Pack for all weather seriously...
I went camping in the middle of June... In the morning it was SO cold.. Windy.. and almost frosty .. and then by the afternoon we were at the beach playing in the sea and actually got sunburnt!! because of the heat. It can differ throughout a day so much.
So pack some warm items.. like a coat or a warm jumper - even in the summer.
Oh and ALWAYS bring an umbrella... Yes the saying is true.. :)

When coming to England I would strongly recommend you bring warm clothes to protect you from the elements. While our warm summer months are generally June, July and August, it is always good to prepare by throwing a couple of good pairs of jeans into your suitcase as the British summer is somewhat unreliable.
In 2007, April was glorious and sunny. In 2008, March saw snow.
Should you come armed with winter clothes and find everyone strutting about in shorts and t-shirt, summer clothes tend to be a bit cheaper to buy than winter clothes (if you know the right places to shop)

remember to always bring a good pair of either waterproof shoes, galloshes, or boots Leave a Comment
