Hey fellow glasto  goers, this was my first year, and the thing that struck me was the weather. Boiling during the day and frezzing at night, so at night i just seemed to put on everything i had haha and like tights and socks so what was everyone else like, how many layers did you have to wear at night? just a bit of fun  haha

[markeee]

I just wore a vest/shorts all day/night - had my hoodie with me in my bag/round my waist for when we left like the underground

still got the sodding vest tan lines!!!

I didn't find it that cold at night so I just slept in boxers. During the day, I usually had a t-shirt and some normal shorts on but I did have a long sleeve top with me just in case it got nippy!

[Mahdnyw]

just a tshirt during the day, then over the course of a few hours I layered up (and occasionally down) with 2 long sleeve tshirts, a jumper & a chemjacket.
I was fine until I stopped moving around 5am when the fleece came out briefly until I descended into slumber land.

During the day i had rolled up jeans and a t-shirt/topless.

The evening was an exercise in layering. I'd put socks on, then a thick hoodie, then a thin wind/rain proof 'kag in a bag'* which all kept me warmish - during the very early hours i'd be a bit chilly if i was with the crew at pennard hill (i was camped in south park) but nothing unbearable. Next year i think i'll bring some long johns just for a bit of extra warmth though.

At one point i lost my t shirt, so i bought another one. And i once forgot my hoodie, so i (being shitfaced at the time!) decided to spend £45 on a Gorillaz glastonbury 2010 hoodie - i must say, it was expensive but really thick and warm!

*The kag in a bag was one of my best buys for the festival! It was so small so very portable, and kept the wind (and rain if only it did!) out. The 'bag' part of it also turned into a massive zip pocket at the front which was ideal for storing things during the night. I bought it from Millets if anyone's interested, http://www.millets.c...uct/042309.html

Got up Friday morning, had a wash, put on a new maxi dress, didnt get cold so didnt put anything extra on at night
Got up Saturday morning, had a wash, put on a new maxi dress, didnt get cold so didnt put anything extra on at night
Got up Sunday morning, had a wash, put on a new maxi dress, didnt get cold so didnt put anything extra on at night

I literally could have taken all my festy clothes in a carrier bag, I wish I'd known this before so I could have left the extremely heavy rucksack at home

Day outfit - little dress or mini/shorts with little top & sandals.

Evening back to the tent - bright tights under day outfit & change to walking boots (better support esp when walking in the dark or v drunkenly), grab a hoodie & tie round the waist for later - grab a rum refill and go!

tbh my wet weather and sunny weather packing vitually identical - I only had a kagoule and a couple of long sleeved t-shirts that i didn't use. I think that even when it chucks it down it's very rarely cold in June & trousers are a nightmare in the mud.

Tracky bottoms and hoody at night, shorts and t shirt in the day

[Colin88]

Shirt and jeans each day. The jeans ended up getting a bit hot after a while, so ended up cutting up one of my pairs to turn them in to shorts. I forgot my 3/4 length shorts at the car and couldn't be bothered to go back and get them. Stupid idea.

I actually found it relatively warm at night, didn't have any problems with the cold apart from the Friday night when I was luckily carrying a hoody around with me.

Whilst it was our hottest Glasto by day, we did find it one of the coldest by night. We were in Dairy, and I was actually wondering whether the field camped in made a difference,probably not.

It does make a difference i think, if you're up high (stone circle etc.) then its freezing, we too were in dairy and it was feckin freezing after dark... not in the tent/sleeping bag but outside... others camped elsewhere were not cold at all!

It was pretty warm overnight this year.  I think the contrast to the heat at night, and people with a little bit of sunburn, might've felt cooler at night.  I was wearing shorts most nights, just threw on a hoody in the evening.

I do remember previous Glastonburys where it's been cold at night, this year wasn't one of them though.

[hedgepeg]

a bobble hat, fleece scarf, thermal long sleeve shirt, t shirt, hoody and jeans at night - it does get cold (was still cold though, next time blanket i think   )

Was wearing a dress or shorts or a skirt and a vest top in the day and tights, 2 hoodies and a hat at night, toasty.

[mandypants]

I mostly wore leggings and dresses, some were strappy, some short sleeved.  The strappy ones were used the most, then later I put on either a shrug type cardigan or thin jacket, and changed into cargo pants and tshirt.  On the first night I used my Honcho to keep warm at the campsite, but after that I didn't need it as if I wasn't in bed, I was moving around and keeping warm that way.

[FestivalFriend]

vest, shorts and flipflops all day, and then at night a hoodie and some of those cloth bags on my feet.

[rexclark]

i know a young lady on here that wears alot of lairs at night, takes about half an hour to undress.

My g/f said she could not find her bra.

When I said just use another one she said she had only brought 1.

I knew she travelled light and come  to think of it I am sure she only brought one pair of knickers
