TASK: PREPARING YOUR CAMPERVAN FOR A WEEKEND AWAY WITH YOUR MATES
It is Monday evening. You and 3 friends are planning a trip this weekend – Friday, Saturday and Sunday – to a beautiful campsite 50 miles from Bangor, in your newly purchased Campervan. The campsite is in a forest, near mountains, the sea and a lake.
The campervan was a bargain, structurally and mechanically sound, but it is in need of a thorough clean, before you pack and set off. It has a propane gas cooker and two burners, but you were unable to check whether it worked when you bought it because the gas bottle was empty.
You are having a meeting with your 3 friends so that you can plan the trip, decide what you need to take and to share out the jobs to be done.
Jobs might include:
- Cleaning inside and outside the van
- Food and drink
- Sleeping stuff
- Maps
- Petrol and propane gas
- Outdoor equipment – what do you need? – surfboards? Kitesurfers? Canoes? Bikes? Climbing equipment? Waterproofs
- etc
The campsite has plug-in electricity points and showers. The nearest shop for food and provisions is 20 miles from the site, so you have decided that you should take all food and everything you need, with you.
