One of these will fit in your glove box but don't know if the capacity is sufficient for your needs.

Do you have spare car battery? Charge it before you go and just connect some sockets to it for the 12/5v adapters?

Yep, they are nice to have. I was just trying to avoid you an unnecessary purchase. Being a Jaguar owner, so having battery paranoia, we have ended up with 3 spare batteries, that is why it came to mind. I guess not everyone collects car batteries Borrow the one from the other car? Battery compressors do work for topping up tyres, but mine is slow and terrifyingly noisy. I just use a foot pump.

That could be great Richard; it's basically what I'm looking for.
Steve - we can't manage without; we have to have phones for the stewarding and for the kids their phones are their cameras and, more broadly, how their generation experiences things, with Snapchat, Instagram, etc. It might not be how we would do it, but keeping them entertained for 5 days, especially after the FoS closes, will be easier if they have their devices.
