Well, where are we gonna charge it anyway? I have enough mem cards for my own use, I was just thinking about music...

Could bring my own lappy but unless connected to power, the battery will only last 4 hours or so.

yeah - laptop isnt the way forwards for music tbh.

A cheap battery powered stereo with CD player only costs about £20-30 from argos these days and thatll work in the tent too :)

Think theres prob gonna be some shopping on the way as Ive not sorted any food or any camping cooking things at all lol

Yeah I wondered about food today, ehhehe!
Just remember: "La Supermarche"!

I have a wee mp3 cd player, and mini speakers... but if I start packing too much I wont even make it too the railway station :S Maybe we can just find some random French rap on the local radio stations :P

Will see what I can do, though!

B&Q have the generators, as do screwfix and a few other places.

Your collective lives will be so much better with mains electricity

If any of you see this before you go, stop off at a Halfords on the way: CLICK ME

Get maybe the 150W normal or e-can one, Ill bring my wee lappy (lots of music), and the FM transmitter thingy, sorted!

EDIT: Yeesh what a long URL, edited to fit page... Just search for inverter on the halfrauds site if it times out or anything. Would go get the goods myself from my local Maplin but they seem to charge a tenner extra! Over Halfords!

EDIT2: I would only use it when the lappy actually needed charging, and then only on the go - dont want to flatten our car battery!

Dont bother Knighty tbh - well end up setting off later than we think and well never get round to driving to yours and collecting it.

Theres still an issue with a low tread tyre to sort out plus were just pacing now.  Got to get some sleep soon as think Im doing the first leg from Sunderland -> Luton airport -> Dover in 9 hours and still packing/doing maps.

PS: enjoy India mate.  I get the impression you plan to ;)

The rallys gonna rock.  There was a moment today where Andy and I were sat in the front of the volvo, having just finished decorating and rewiring the car and stereo playing out of all the right speakers.  We were just sat in the front of the car grinning like idiots and shaking hands on a job well done lol.

That was fantastic. Three cheers to Steve for coming along at the last minute, basically organising it all, playing Dad, and driving through millions of D-roads throughout the night before last as me & mr_roll slept.

Hip-hip!

HOORAY!

Hip-hip!

HOORAY!

Hip-hip!

HOORAY!

And one for luck; hip-hip!

HOOOOOORAAAY!


Funnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn. Pictures to follow, whichever one of us uploads them first...
