There is a recommended packing list on the website. This is an extensive list, in in my view a bit of overkill.

In my experience you will pack much more than you need in your first year.

There's a large plastic trommel, jam it full. Leave it behind if it doesn't fit.

Sani has a list they send out. Other things to remember, take a few charger blocks for your phone / GPS. Take lots of newspaper, very good for drying shoes that are a bit wet. Take an extra strap for the lid of your plastic trommel.

Only the first night is cold. The two race villages are great.

Sometimes it rains, so check weather report to see what "wet stuff" you need.

AS said above, check the list on the website and make a selection... only thing I would add is couple of newspaper to stuff in your shoes if they get wet.... nogal kakkerig to start in wet shoes

I cannot remember all the details of the Sani list, but a few thoughts..

The tents are close to each and are waifer thin,  Lots of snores and/or farting for the entire night.  Take some comfortable earplugs and a sleeping tablet (1/2 per night). 

Take an extra Petzl as a tent lamp. 

Virtually no need to take any supplements - there are PLENTY to eat/drink.  Only need it for the 1st 2 bottles on day 1.    

I packed most my spares/stuff into ice cream tubs to help organise.  Ditto for clothes into daily bags - again not to have a sea of stuff floating around.

Oh, and those empty bags are handy for the "vrot" used and smelly clothing.

Everyone excited yet for Sani!

It's now a good time to start training if you haven't started yet...

At this stage, the weather is also looking great, let's hope it stays that way!

Event is only next week. More than enough time to get some training done !

Not packing related but Top Tip for day 2s overnight stay in the orchard. 

Turn your mattress sideways to the slope. Otherwise you will end up sliding down the mattress and have your little toes poking out of your tent
