Tips and variations

Winter

Skis, poles and wax; a sledge; an ice scraper and snow shovel in the car. Check that the road is cleared and the water is not shut off. Wool next to the skin, not cotton.

With kids

A familiar cuddly toy and a night light make the first night easier. Bring rainwear and a spare change of clothes per child per day, plus something to play indoors on rainy days.
