I live on a steady diet of bad pop culture, kitschy ephemera, Internet memes, and various fandoms.

I'm either too old for [x] or too young for [y] or just right for [z]. But I obsess over the entire alphabet.

|Thursday we can train the whole way but Monday is difficult. One of us needs to head to near Watford and the other to Gatwick Airport. We mainly need a lift to a train station with a more frequent direct service to London on the Monday (ideally one that stops at Reading).
We can lend power, networking or other cables to your camp in return & also contribute to petrol (let us know which you'd prefer). If you need lots of cables then we'd also need a lift there depending on weight.

|I'm looking for two vehicles to hang my hammock between during camp, so I don't need to bring a hammock stand. Even one vehicle is helpful, because then I only need half of the hammock stand.
(Note: These will need to be live-in vehicles as there's no camping in the car park)
