Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Extension lead and an adaptor, one euro adaptor on UK plug and hey presto lots of posibilities

This is what I have - it has a Euro plug on it. (not sure why it now has a UK plug in that listing!)
I also have Euro Plug kettle/clover power cables for laptops, etc. saves faffing around with adapters.

De-caf tea bags. Solpadine, as you can no longer buy codeine based painkillers over the counter. Kids antihistamines for the same reason. I also always freeze a 1L milk and use it as an ice block around homemade spag bol sauce etc. Arrive and have fresh milk for cuppa and a meal for the first night.

I’ve never really liked the taste of Marmite, but if I’d known you were supposed to wash with it, I might have felt differently Shocked

As previous poster's, 4 gang ext lead with one adapter that we've used for years. Bit of lateral thinking, max convenience. Smile

If you use a torch https://www.lightingever.co.uk/adjustable-focus-cree-led-flashlight-1200012-4.html these are really good. Plain, simple, not broken one yet, no cod claims and bullocks accessories, they just work and really bright. More range than the naked eye can see, superb value.

You can get four for 17 quid-ish. So you'll always find one of them, taken camping etc and just great value.

I used to pack a 4 gang socket and adaptor. But everything i take is USB chargeable these days... so I pack a smaller / lighter 4 port USB adaptor that comes with a two pin attachment that swaps for the 3 pin.
