So, 2 days left (one if you're early entry). How well prepared are you? Cos I've done f*ck all and I'm starting to panic a bit!

Still need to:
Get my backpack down from the loft
Check my new tent is all there
Buy food
Buy drink
Finalize travel arrangements
Sort out some mix CDs for the campsite.

And I'm working all day today and tomorrow.

Anyone else similarly unprepared?!

I'm more or less done now. Just need to print off my FMC email and I'm finished then. Oh, and waterproof the trainers, I think it's gonna be VERY necessary

The forecast is pretty good! On Metcheck they've got tomorrow and Friday as dry, a little rain on the Saturday and dry on the Sunday. They're usually more reliable than the BBC on Metcheck.

Everything packed including a chemical suit incase of an outbreak or natural disaster!! leave nothing to chance I always say!!

[shrimpy53]

the forecast keeps changing a lot at the moment, lets hope its nice either way! tbh I could've packed ages ago, since I've had nothing to do, being on uni holidays and not managing to find a job

[biffoire]

Metcheck says it will be dry and bbc says wet and country file didn't know!! They guy didn't sound convinced what was going to happen!

BBC always seem to predict shit weather. They did it for Download which had no rain at all after the Wednesday!

Not prepared at all really.

Worst thing is i'm travelling up and then camping with my ex who I don't even like. There has been discussion, it will be civil.

[tomisnothere]

haven't really sorted anything out yet, and i'm going tomorrow.

oops.

i also have a severe lack of funds in my bank, which means buying things isn't going to be easy anyway.

[Paul W]

I've my my beer and tent ready ... Yep that's about it.

[ajmyers72]

I've been to a lot of festivals (see my sig), and after every one I promise to myself that I'll prepare properly next time. But it is now Wednesday and I haven't even sorted my tent out

I don't even know what day I'm heading up yet!

[Lithium05]

Just had a slight spanner thrown in the works.

Was planning on leaving here around 4am Friday morning, to arrive on site around 6 and head in then. But the two friends I'm going with have to collect tickets from the "guest box office" which, if it's anything like the normal box office, won't be open it 10am.

i'm gonna do some shopping tonight and then i'm done. although i haven't tested my new tent. but it's probably fine.

[samc86]

I feel really unprepared! still got to buy booze,food then pack and waiting for these e-tickets to come through!

Leaving friday night, sure there will be loadsa space right?

[MM Punk]

Not fully prepared as usual.
I've got to get 8pm coach to London tomorrow night to my girlfriends, then we're getting train to Stevenage Friday morning from there.
I've got some booze but i'm worried it ain't enough yet. I'm leaving the food to her, and most annoyingly I don't get paid until Friday.

Let me put it this way.

I just found out that today is Wednesday. And I'm not being sarcastic.

If this was facebook, I would 'like' this

[Kagayama]

I got round to buying my ticket today. Does that make me a winner?

My tent is probably one mass ball of mould, tent and swine flu.
Beer on the way down apprantly..... :s

Packing when I get home. Dont need much as not camping. Rain macs I guess though the weather is looking better than forecast two weeks ago when it said rain all weekend.

Looking to make the most of it, the lineup changes have still brought on some great replacements and am hopeful there will be a few surprises maybe some alternative activities/entertainment with it being new and the final Sonisphere of this year.

Hope you all enjoy and feel you got your moneys worth by Monday.

[Spiral_Low]

I've printed out the band times. Other than that....nothing. Then again I went to downlaod on the wednesday and at around 8pm on the night before I was very stoned and not packed a single thing.
