But I hope you're right about TR's security, because that was one of the factors that made me come over there as I bring rather a lot of kit that I also intend on bringing back home |

Lists of essentials are inevitably also personal lists. Using public transport must mean a minimum amount of luggage; two spectators in a people carrier means you can take almost anything you need.
Personally, I have my own (lengthy) list - more because old age means the memory's going than for any other reason. However, there are some items nobody can do without: EU health card, passport, corkscrew..... |

Well you need to be more careful, next time ask someone to look after it for you but choose someone who looks honest

Maybe back on core topic this year's big investment with Le Mans in mind is a wood fired USB charger.
http://biolitestove.com/campstove/ca...view/features/ Really hoping it works a lot better than last year's complete failure with a solar panel and what has, in the past, ended up with an awful lot of juggling stuff in the car to get a modicum of charging done. Also figure we might be able to amortise purchase price if we rent it out a little while it's being used for boiling the kettle... |

Might take a punt on that battery charger. Not exactly a risk for that price.
Have to agree that solar charging isn't the way forward. Absolute gash the one I used in '11. |

I take Technet chargers for my iPhone. OK, I have the luxury of having a room to go back to, but I find these work very well.

Can definitely see the appeal of the AA chargers at that price point, still reckon my stove might be a touch better at boiling a kettle.

The new thing I will be bringing this year is my younger brother, for his first visit (my third).

I was looking around a camping shop at lakeside yesterday while the wife was in a clothing shop and noticed that they now do small heaters that use the same aerosole type gas canisters that we use for the cooking stoves, not sure about how safe they are but there were several different ones and not expensive, anyone ever used one?

http://www.vrijbuiter.nl/kampeerarti...ngaz-blue-cat/ I can tell by experience it works perfect. It kept me warm last 24 in my 4 person tent. Don't worry about CO2, you are in a tent, lots of air in and outside. It is now part of my permanent LM gear. Hopefully this year we don't need it. |

I would have loved a heater in 2011. I wouldn't have caught a cold and had to endure the race weekend with clogged sinuses!
