As we don’t seem to be going abroad anytime soon, let’s make the most of the beautiful British campsite, made even more lovely of course, by being prepared with the right kit. Below are a few recommendations:

Stainless Steel Washing Up Bowl: let’s face it, when bereft of the dishwasher, we need to get serious about those dried up beans, cooked breakfast pans and coffee cups. Level-up your washing up!
