Camp without guy ropes if possible, or if absolutely necessary, make them short and close to the tent. People will trip over them throughout the night.

If they are not in a dedicated quiet camp, then expect neighbours to be enjoying themselves throughout the night - embrace the mayhem.

I always used to tie brightly coloured tape to all of my guy ropes, not to fence the area off, but just to help them show up to avoid people stumbling into them by accident.

Mini bottles of antibacterial soap   that hand sanitizer crap doesn't do the job!

I picked that tip up from here. Took a mini bottle of soap and shared it round whenever i was at taps. Such a lovely feeling to have clean smelly hands especially in the heat and most people were very appreciative and even holding taps for each other. Lovely.

Just saying.

Cut your toe nails before the festival, seems obvious, forgot before the festival I attend last week and will suffer with a big toe injury that I am sure was related.

Take a bin liner to sit on if it's muddy, take plenty of them- mucky wellies, rubbish, wet camping gear and to hand to neighbours.

usually lots of room down the side/front when busy at the entrance.

Explore and enjoy

And most definitely do not tie them to others or fences. I proper face planted getting caught on laser thin black guy ropes one night. Knew they were there just couldn't see them. Which probably backs up the head torch advice. 

Was that the mini teepee next to the orange fence? Son tripped over them EVERY FECKING TIME we walked past.

Yup. c**ts! Couldn't see the fucking thing for love nor money in the dark it was so thin.

Don't overthink or be self conscious about dancing.  Finally learned that last weekend, makes all the difference.
