Travelling heavy or light

although we dont have a washing machine (many do on long term sites, for timing/convenience or no site facs) most of our trips are in clement weather and washing underwear/shorts/t-shirts (90+% of what we wear) is easy to keep on top of with hand washing.
towels, bedding etc get washed in the site facs....
its easy to take too many dinner jackets, suits, ballgowns etc...we rarely end up wearing them and dry cleaning is a nightmare even on the best aires
even when we stay for a while on a site (not always decided beforehand) we are amazed at how little 'stuff' we bring compared to some...most of the kit seems to be for 'social gatherings'.....3/4 extra chairs, a couple of extra tables, awning extension, spare fridge to put the four boxes of lager just bought at Lidl) ...just in case a few friends come round..
we must be miserable anti-social gits...we have our two outdoor chairs and footrests....wanna come round?...bring your own chair.
i think we prefer to do the 'social' thing at a bar/restaurant after a stroll or a bike ride...nice to pretend youve burnt off a few calories before stocking back up
perhaps travelling light (cliff richard, 1959) is one of the reasons we find it so easy to leave the site in the van or move on without much of a problem and skipping from one short stop to the next often doesnt involve getting anything other than bikes out of the van for a recce to determine if its worth spending more time there.

They were less convenient when we had the caravan. Now with a MH we are moving on a lot more frequently, often for not that great a distance. We always did our shop on a moving day, either at the start or end of the journey. If they had a laundromat it was a bonus we could utilise if required.
