One week to go!

One week to go till wrt, and I'm starting to feel ready, undertrained but ready. Got an approx route worked out (we are planning on playing it a little by ear) and my bags seem nearly packed... So my question is, what have I forgotten? What is the one thing you always take or now know to take that you didn't before? I am here playing stacking cups with my 8 month old and have decided not to bring her...
See some of you in a week!

8 month old? You'll be catching up with sleep on the WRT (and baby wipes are better than loo roll)

Wait... what? Bags nearly packed?

I'll be lucky if I've packed them by the time I'm starting the ride.

Superglue.... lots of uses but mainly for tyre wall splits.

Bike? Knew I was missing something... Haha
Wet wipes are a good shout, mainly planning on spars etc for food but will defo have some emergency rations...
And yes, I will probably get more sleep this way than at home... No kids for 3 days! It's a recent record!
