Well, This weekend just gone was my camp assessment, or whatever its called, so there was a fair bit of stress leading up to it, particularly as Ive not planned a camp for anymore than 2 people at a time, and that generally involves grabbing a tent, driving somewhere and picking up food in a supermarket on the way.
So I had it all relatively planned, got my Nan form in (eventually), planned the food anf bought it, made sure that all the gear was out in the hall ready for putting on the van, and tried to get everyone to arrive at 620 in time to leave for 7pm.
Things started well with me getting a migrane at 3pm and not being able to see anything. Issue. So I lay down for a bit, took a load of asprin and waited, which is the only thing you really can do with migraines.
Walked up at about 430 to get there at 530, still feeling a little fragile, made sure that everything was in order for people to come in.
They started to arrive at about 620 or so, we started with a patrol box, tables (3) benches (6) on the roof, followed by tents and general baggage.
Most of them remembered their emergency contavct forms, those that didnt, luckily had parents on hand to re-write them and sign, so not too many worries there.
Managed to get it all on and food in the back and off by about 720, which really wasnt bad.
Driving up to Drumhill was fairly uneventful and we got there with no massive hold ups- no little ones either, was a straight drive, at about 1030-11.
Tents went up- the kids were in popups, and a dome, we had a little more trouble with the mess tent, but that was up and all gear in it by the time it started to rain a little.
Managed to get everyone in bed by about 1.
