Carabiners would be brilliant, I've got one of those collapsing water bottles that I can clip to it. You end up like a walking toolkit but hey ho

That's a fantastic idea! And I live in Sheffield so there are many carabiners laying around

Well you've got me here. Maybe I've smoked too much but I've no idea what you're on about.

I think that I know what a carabiner is, but have no idea why they'd be 'laying around' in Sheffield. I'm looking forward to being enlightened.

Aaaah sorry, it's because everyone and their dog is way more into climbing than is normal. Proximity of the Peak District I think!  And carabiners are used for climbing...although it could well be a word for something else to for all I know!

Hello Sasperella,

Thanks for clarifying what I thought they were. I had no idea that Sheffield had a disproportionate number of climbers among it's midst. I really don't get climbing, but each to their own. 

[Sasperella]

No probs! Neither did I...and then I moved to Sheffield and it sucked me in

I keep anything important, e.g. ID, cash and goodies inside the clear pocket thing that comes with the guide in on entrance, I then wrap the strap through a belt loop so if it comes out of pocket it's still attached to me (lost my wallet in 2015 when plastered so this is my new approach). Other than that I have one of those cycling backpacks that are tiny and would get in no ones way in a crowd, if later in the day it holds the hydration pack filled with 3l of gin'n'tonic and about 3 beers, poncho, packet of tissues and sun cream etc, if earlier in the day the hydration pack is empty and inside I can fit about 6 or 7 cans in it :).

Considering buying one of those 'coolbag' rucksacks to keep cans cool throughout the day... has anyone done this before and is it worth it? Got a camper with fridge so can start cold every morning... ordered a new bumbag today too - OH THE EXCITEMENT 

[verrymerry]

Yep, good climbing in the Peaks.  I wouldn't be leaving my climbing gear lying around though, wayyyy to pricey!  You can just get cheapo ones for Glastonbury though

@scaryclaireyfairy I have ordered one of your bags and will clip a carabiner onto it to put it on my bum back when empty. What a brilliant idea. Thanx

I've also just invested @scaryclaireyfairyThey're going to sell out at this rate

I'm going to spend the festival spotting people with The Bag at this rate.

Backpack for booze / spare jacket and the like. I use a 'travel' bumbag for valuables. Basically a light weight travel pouch from Tesco/Asda for a couple of quid with an elasticated band which I tie to belt buckle and stuff into pocket. Perfect really for phone / cash / other valuables.

So glad I found out about the lack of yeo valley bag now, could have been a (very) minor disaster.  Have added similar bag to packing list.

When EE said "they" (yeo valley) are not doing a bag I wonder if someone else is instead

[carrie2]

NOOO.

Yeah, from her saying "the bag", it sounds like there is a bag, just that Yeo Valley aren't involved.
