Re: any advice on park and loop
Started park and loop yesterday, day off today 
. I would advise the following:
1) Take your time prepping and bagging up before you leave, make sure all packets are accounted for and in the right bags. Number the bags in the order you will be doing them and make sure you can tell the difference between your bags and your pairing's bags.
2) Tie up together, one walk at a time. You will know for sure what loops you are doing and the packets you have got to take.
3) If unfamiliar with the walks, get a few maps and take them out with you. Mark the loops and parking places if you have to.
4) Load the van so the bags for the walk you are doing last go at the back of the van, with the bags for the first walk closest to the doors.
5) Exchange mobile numbers with your pairing, just in case they (or you) are hold up/can't find house/need to meet up etc etc
6) Take an empty sack out for packets you don't get rid of, otherwise they will litter the back of the van and get in the way/be a pain in the a**e!
I'm a park and loop noobie so that's all i have to offer in the way of advice, some of the tips may seem like common sense but you'll be amazed how many people rushed out and cocked up thier whole day. They can save a lot of time/hassle.
