I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

Hullo, everyone,

Terry's suggested that we put together a survival kit, what, and that I might take it with me when the group visits Lincoln over hols. He's told me where to hide it so if he is ever able to escape, he can take it along.

I think it's a smashing idea. And since some of you will be going along to a few things before then, you might even get me items to put in it after hols, what? I say, at first I thought we only had two days to put it together but there's the Yorkshire trip and all.

So if you've got something to contribute, you can give it to me before the end of the day Friday or on the train, or on any of the events on April 6, 7, or 8 (those of you who are coming, that is).

Terry mentioned clothes, what, and I thought a bedroll and perhaps some toiletries, maybe even cooking tools if we can put that bally old shrinking spell on them, yes? And some money, of course. Perhaps a map, maybe to yours, Ron and Fred and George? Or if that wouldn't be wise, then to somewhere else safer. Sally-Anne, perhaps he could get to the Strettons' and blend in, what?

And we shall need a good knapsack to carry it all, perhaps with an expansion charm on it. That's well advanced magic, though: Fred, George and Lee, could you manage that? Perhaps Sally-Anne's clever enough to do it. That might be more difficult as I don't think I've got anything appropriate, what. And while I might be able to get one in New London at the weekend, then we might not have time or privacy to put the charms on it while we're all in our groups.

So does anyone else have something we could use? I suppose that's the start and we may all add to it as we can. The Lincoln trip is on 9 April, so as long as I have the contents by then, I shall be able to convey them.

My sister and I go camping every year with my Great-Uncle, and we have extra gear. I can go through the stuff when I get home from break and send you what might be useful. It's already charmed to shrink real easy. Things like a set of nested plates and bowls and tableware, and a tarp that can double as a one-person tent. I think we have a very small pot that will cook stuff without fire, too.

Neville,

That's positively brilliant, what! I say, that's just the sort of thing I was thinking. I'd thought to pick up supplies in New London but if you could find them easily when you get home, what, that'll be smashing.

Provided it shan't put you out, of course. Are you able to come to any of the outings, then, Neville?

It'll be fine. We probably have too much camping stuff, and my Great-Uncle isn't very organised. I don't think he'll miss anything I'll pull out.

I'll be going to Cambridge.
