• Pack plenty of mosquito and other bug repellents.
• Pick a campsite wisely, stay away from dangerous areas or places that will be full of other campers.
• Bring earplugs – noisy neighbouring campers tend to ruin a good night’s sleep.
• Bring plenty of water.
• Bring plenty of entertainment, there won’t be Wi-Fi, so bring cards and board games.
• Bring your own lighting – a dark campsite is dangerous and someone is bound to fall and hurt themselves when going out at night.

• Bring your own fire wood.
• Keep a first-aid kit – small accidents tend to happen on these trips, so bring plasters, antiseptic creams, antinausea tablets, antidiarrhoeal medicine, water purification tablets, cotton swabs, hand sanitiser, pain pills, antihistamines, tweezers and eye drops.
