List your clothing to take here fellow men

That seems about right.

You've probably got 2 pairs of shorts too many. I used the same pair all day and night. I bought some lightweight trousers this year, but I haven't really felt the need for them in previous years. Plenty of people wear jeans, but they take an age to dry if they get wet. In fact, that reminds me: I took jeans and they got wet on the first day.

Three pairs of shorts? What on earth for? One's plenty, barring some sort of accident, in which case you can buy replacements on site (*)

In my rucksack are:

• Socks - 5 pairs
  
• Pants - 5 pairs
  
• Shorts
  
• Thickish hoodie
  
• fleece
  
• Sandals (yes!)
  
• Cap (for the sun!)

Plus on the way down I'll be wearing jeans, t-shirt, waterproof, Docs.

(*) One year I somehow tore the flies of my shorts apart standing up in the long drops. I bought a replacement pair of shorts from one of the army surplus stalls. Cheap as chips, and still my favourite shorts.

[Andy112285]

I've got the same as you plus a pair of jeans, sunglasses and two pairs of football socks.

If it's a hot one will buy my hat at Glasto.

[Scoobs]

Same as Andy!

[PedroOrange]

Nice one folks

Haha one of my mates took a spare pair of boxers to Heaton Park because he'd 'rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them'  

*packs fire extinguisher*

Nah I was just thinking I'll be wearing them all the time and if the weather turns nasty they'll get caked in shite. But you're right, I'll replace a pair with jeans.

Oh and I've got sunglasses as well, good call Andy. Bought mirrored ones from a joke shop today. Giggidy giggidy goo

Sounds good mate, I would  add;
A hat / cap. Invaluable in the huge amount of sun that we will definately have.
A shirt or similar, an inbetween stage between T shirt and wooly cardigan


And of course a Kilt......... No pants needed then and LOTS of of attention from the ladies,

[fantomas]

mine is gonna go something like this:

5 t-shirts
shorts
waterproof trousers
pair of jeans
warmish hoody
waterproof jacket
5 pairs socks
5 pairs boxers
2 hats
walking boots
wellies (but I won't be needing these )

I should actually go and pack now though!

Also, if you're going in the car, take another set of clothing to leave in the car so you've got something clean and fresh to change into for the journey home.

[Homer]

I'm similar you guys plus two fancy dress outfits.
