Pinhead Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Over the years I have gradually whittled down what I take to the bare essentials. Then that lot is stored in a space beneath my bed. All I have to do is open it up each year and check anything has not deteriorated or needs replacing and so forth. Might make a few additions this year however to make life easier and because I'm doing it solo and can't necessarily rely on mates to have remembered to bring things. Don't tend to both preparing too much until the week before, sometimes the weekend before these days - other than the homebrew, which was finished a couple of weeks ago. Else most other things are consumables which are best bought in a run to Blacks camping or the supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smash1984 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I lost out on a camera case on eBay by 50p!! Other than that, I'm pretty much ready to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coma girl Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Will order my trolley tomorrow when they should be back in stock. Get paid a week on Friday so will get my booze that weekend. I also have a weekend away for the Stone Roses in the middle of June so will need to try and budget sensibly for all this, luckily I already have my Glasto spending money put aside.

Krazypinkminx Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just ordered a micro sim adapter so I can use my sim in my cheapo festival phone and now I'm going to take all of the bits I bought from asda the other day out of their packaging because it looks and weighs far too much at the moment.

Chimps in Balaclavas Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Lol I'm one of those last minute people, I run round town buying Christmas presents on Christmas eve. Glasto packing will be no different, although I've started to buy a few nic-nacs here and there. I won't have a pile like that though until the Tuesday! Help me out with that recommendation...what the heck is a sleeping pod? Back to the Future talk here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dixietheduck Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Today I'll check flight prices far too many times in the hope that they've gone down..knowing full well that they wont have. As I have done every day since I got tickets! Also I'll booking travel back from the festival to London and ordering a new UK festival phone, and probably looking at, and adding to, the list of camping stuff to buy when we get to England. So excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamChappu Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Read this forum and been listening to my Spotify playlist to pick out some possibilites from all those unknown acts. Go camping all the time in our Bongo so all our stuff is always ready to go other than clothes, toiletries, food and drink. Will pick up my vodka and choose its flavouring in the next week....getting excited! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Eye up the prices of wine boxes and cans of beer, and toy with the idea of getting striped tarpaulins for around the campervan awning. Not shopping yet, as I'll drink the booze, but it will come together on the weekend before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazypinkminx Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I ordered this one that comes with a micro sim aswell as the adapter. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005FHGT30/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 For only 60p it's worth a try seeing as a standard sim from where i work is 50p-£1 anyway, plus I'd have to buy credit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
