[let's 'ave it!!!]

Apologies if there's already a thread on this,
I need a trolley for Glasto, gonna carry a few crates of beer and perhaps a few other bits,
Don't really wanna pay too much for one as it's only gonna be used once a year.
It can't be too big either cos I've gotta take it on the national express coach.
I've been looking at this one from B&Q, it looks decent and for £25 it seems a fair price....

that's quite big to be taking on a bus

Would this trolley fit in a car?


Question for anyone that already has this trolley
ie. only me plus one in my Ford fiesta, so will it sit behind the driver and passenger seat standing upright?
I think we'll need one each!

maybe this (can get on ebay for £50)

If you didn't connect the handle til you got off it wouldn't be that different to putting a big suitcase in the luggage hold

we've got a zafira and it fit in our car easily, so much so that taking two this year!!

Hmmmm I thought that, took a slightly smaller one on the bus last year though.

Just be wary with the trolley and bus situation. I recall fellow Efesters tales of being told they had to leave theirs behind when they arrived to board in the past. The trolley that is highlighted over in Questions from Funky Leisure folds down but is a masterful trolley when loaded up.

I manage to get this trolley into a Clio. Best way I think to pack it is to have back seats folded down. Trolley goes in first with the tray hanging over the front of back seats. This way it sits pretty flat to the seats and you can pack your stuff on top.

That sounds ideal, I was looking at the ones that fold down...

...but I'm wary of it as it might not be as sturdy/strong!

Ive had the top trolley for 2 years. In 2009 it was quite muddy getting out on Monday morning, the trolley was picking up lots of mud on the wheels but it never become too much.

Then last year when it was blisteringly hot (as it will be this year) the ground was rock solid and quite bumpy but I just deflated the tyres a little then the tyres seemed to absorb alot of the bumps.

The only problem I had was storing the thing in the tent. However now I have found out the lock ups take trolleys (didn't realise this before) So mine wil be going to a lockup for the duration of the festival this year.
