Right now I cant imagine how we're gonna get the load small enough not to need any trolleys, do i need to accept that I will need to make 3-4 journeys? Think you'lll be fine with a trolley, advice seems to be warning of delays getting through rather than a ban. We're still taking one but are going to assume it'll be searched so will pack with that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 What an unpleasant situation. It puts me off going a bit. And you just know the coppers will gleefully use this opportunity to discriminate against anyone who looks a little bit alternative. Extra vigorous searches for those poor souls. And God help them when they find their measly stash. Of course Cordelia and Rupert will have nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have prescription medicine to take in, but was also planning on taking other perfectly legitimate things (ranitidine for heartburn for example, and some paracetamols for the hangover). I guess I can pick up at the on site pharmacies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil the shrew Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) As others have said it's sad it's come to this but can understand the security moves in light of recent attacks. In terms of security would however have thought those going on and off site in a work and volunteer capacity carry a greater risk of getting in for terrorist motives. Or the softer targets outside the festival gates going in and out the festival Edited June 5, 2017 by phil the shrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) I'm more worried about a super queue than I am about any thing happening like we've seen lately... Although I guess I'm not as worried about the former as some are about the latter so, while I personally disagree with us queuing for 4.79 days or whatever, I don't necessarily begrudge it. Also, whoever first said about putting different clothes in carrier bags that is genius and I'm a little annoyed no one suggested that at my first festival 8 years ago. Off to go back a few pages and upvote. Curious whether this'll be the security thread to end all security threads, a new one seems to pop up every time one makes it to 6 pages. Edited June 5, 2017 by priest17 out of upvotes, tomorrow it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Finn Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Applaud this move from the festival. What time we lose in queuing up on Wednesday will be hopefully offset by: - Any security fears being eased by the comprehensiveness of the checks. - A reduction in the sheer volume of junk left behind by people on the Monday. - And scaremonger people into not taking illegal drugs into the festival.

I think a lot of people who attend the festival will not view this as a benefit, and even if you don't partake I don't see why you should either.

So three battery packs. Wires everywhere. I'm going to be put on a list, aren't I? No. Wires and lights won't be a problem. Explosives take up quite a lot of space. your tutu will be fine.

fowls Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) Drug hiding aside, I think it's sad they're encouraging people not to bring their own food and drink, especially since it's with no acknowledgement of how pricey festival food and drink can be. Plenty of people can only afford to go to festivals by bringing their own as ticket prices sky rocket year on year. Suggesting people buy everything inside isn't really a solution.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 (edited) The reality is they are just suggesting people bring less for good reason as it will take less time for everyone to be searched and make it easier for everybody. They know that realistically most people won't really take any notice, like last year when they told people with caravans and campers not to turn up until 6pm, most ignored it, and the next day the traffic was so bad they tried suggesting people stay at home because the festival doesn't really start properly until Friday, but again everyone ignored it.

I don't think that's what they mean. Theyre not implying that everyone should buy all their food and drink on the inside but are saying it's an option. I think what they're tryna say is you could reduce your food stocks and buy inside instead. As others have mentioned, I think a big reason that they've said that is to reduce litter and what's left once we've all gone back home.
