I dont think ill even bother with a pack a mac because itll be kind of nice to get wet and itll dry damn quick anyway in this heat Pack it. Just pack it.

I want to take as little as possible, if that means hedging my bets then so be it. esp if their going to be turfing out everybodys bags as it sounds like they are before people can get in. Im going to check the forecasts tuesday eve, if its still as it is today then walking boots will be about as much protection as ill be taking.

JoeyT Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Yeah pack your wet weather gear folks. Although having said that when we were loading up my friend's caravan yesterday evening it felt very strange to be putting my wellies in whilst wearing vest, shorts and flip flops!!

And how much space does a pack a mac or a poncho really take up!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfalls212434 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 worst comes to worst ill buy a poncho on site, no problems. I really am trying to pack light this year, I go by public transport and last year overdid it a bit, cant be arsed with that much weight this year, so packing only the clothes I think ill need, as far as booze goes just a couple of bottles of pre made up flavoured spirits rather then a whole backpack full of cans (that killed me last year, this time my mates picking me up a crate or 2 to put in his car instead and ill pick it up from there when all camped out), no wellys, just my walking boots and a pair of light trainers. simple. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy24 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Fair enough. I learnt how to pack light when i started taking the coach a few years back. Rather than pre-mixed spirits i would recommend just taking neat spirit and buying mixer there to save space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the searches are anything like those for Stone Roses at Wembley, they won't be doing anything different to normal in reality. Hence the sea of pyrotechnics!

Not massively stylish, but the big side pockets are handy for convenient storage. This, one pair of these which I wear all week, fashionably held to the correct waist size with safety pins as the string snapped some time ago. With each passing summer the little frayed holes around the pockets get larger and the arse gets thinner. They are like a metaphor for my life.

So met office is currently forecast on no rain for the whole festival?? If there is a torrential downpour on Tuesday afternoon will the sunshine the follows be enough to prevent any water logging and mud forming the next day?

BeddyDriver Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Tuesday: Tuesday will be another hot, sunny and largely dry day across the board. Wall-to-wall sunshine for many, but the odd thundery shower is possible towards Exmoor. Maximum temperature 31 °C. Exmoor can take that one for the team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
