Flaminglippy Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Half the time round here they're wrong in the morning about the afternoon weather. Think I'll wait till the last week to decide if I need my wellies or not ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotPumpkin Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's one thing I've never taken to a festival yet, normally just pack my walking boots which seem to have coped ok, even through the Glastonbury mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 Has anyone got any opinions or caught any of the lesser know bands before ? Who should I stray from the main stage to catch ? I'm still hoping for 2 appearances from vintage trouble over the festival, you gonna put me out of my misery naarjtie ?

ramragon Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It's nice to know that walking boots do well, I'm having a hard time convincing my boyfriend to buy wellies when he won't know the reasoning behind it until the day before we leave.

Comfy Bean Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 1st time heading for Kendal. Is it considered bad form to be smuggling a couple of cold ciders into the arena ? Just a couple mind !!!! Last year at Wickerman the security on the gate were only just stopping short of turning everyone upside down. Caused alot of aggro and a few folk got so pissed off at the searching they aint going back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOCHLAND5 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 you can try ! the officials were checking at every entry point in to the arena last year but if youre desperate and creative you might get away with it !

ramragon Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Away from the main stage, I'm particularly looking forward to - Whiskycats (Riot Jazz), Ghostpoet (Calling Out) and Dreadzone (Kayleid)... Any others??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flaminglippy Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 When I used to do it, I always found shoving cans down the back of your wellies and trousers, going up to security and asking 'sorry mate, is the cash point this way?' (pointing away from the arena)would 9/10 lead to them saying 'no, its over there', shepherding you into the arena unchecked... At V once I managed to get 4 cans into my wellies and 3 in my pants once (drunken competition) which had the unfortunate side-effect of making me walk like I'd shat myself...incidentally another way of ensuring security dont want to search you...

ramragon Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 well, saying we're swapping smuggling techniques ! if the past i've taken a few of those folding camping chairs that you see everywhere, which comes packed in a bag that looks like then take the chair out of a bag and fill it with cans, sling it over your back and walk in ! works better if you're carriying a few chairs for people. you can fit 6 or 7 cans in a bag !
