Replace those freezer blocks with orange/apple juice cartons. You know, the sort you put in kiddies packed lunches? they work in exactly the same way as your freezer blocks (keep stuff cold) and you can drink 'em. Freezer blocks are useless weight.
Damn fine idea that! I used frozen bottles of water last year but will replace them with juice boxes this year, they'll be easier to fit in between other bits and bobs so will be a more efficient use of the space I would imagine. Thanks!

YES to all of this! I'm a huge LTJ fan and seeing them at my favourite festival would be something else! I just can't see it happening myself though. RBF I could see going down really well but they're in USA over Glasto weekend. I would LOVE to see Save Ferris and No Doubt too but neither are together any more unless I'm mistaken?

Awesome! Mine hasn't arrived yet but the post doesn't usually arrive until later in the morning here.

Honestly man up the toilets aren't *that* bad...people pissing in hedges is disgusting. I think it would be similar to going into Michaels living room and pissing all over his carpet.

ordered a thetford porta potti for the camper; just saying 'porta potti' makes me cringe but it'll be miles better than staggering around a tent, purple wizzer in hand trying to get it in an empty water bottle.

Now I've found out how to unlock it for free I've ordered one. I kinda like the pink! I'll let people know how i get on unlocking it. Cheers /user/191942-helephantelope/" title="">Helephantelope x

Where do you get enough signal to connect to twitter haha?

I'll be taking my festival nokia 100! I really look forward to 5 days of no internet etc
The only people who will have the number are my 4 mates I'm going with and family back home for any emergencies.
Not giving anyone else the number means no-one can bother me and I can't send any embarrassing texts at 3am due to intoxication.

West jolts
in Chat
Chic is the only headliner I've ever "seen" on West Holts, and I couldn't see a thing! It didn't really bother me much to be honest, everyone near the back seemed to be dancing around more if they couldn't see the stage

Scored a free phone, ordered a (suspiciously) cheap torch/radio/solar charger, ordered some leggings.
...and now I'm going to have to get a toastie maker as well. This forum is doing my camping gadget problem no good at all!!
-
I'm taking this one for keeping in touch with everyone onsite but will be taking my smartphone as well (switched off in the lockups except for checking on here / twitter now and again). It just seems a bit of a faff to me switching sim cards round, just make sure everyone has each others temporary numbers as well as usual ones then even if the cheap phone gets lost/broken it's no great loss.
-
Is it an unlocked phone? Just seen it uses a micro sim so might be able to use my iphone sim I assume?

Two weeks for me, all of my fun things seem to fall in the space of a fortnight this summer!
I need the Tuesday off for the long drive down to the B&B in Yeovil and any chance of getting some sleep. Then off to London on the Monday after Glasto to stay with a mate and see Monty Python on the Tuesday, then drive back to Newcastle on the Wednesday. Curl up in a ball and cry on Thursday, then off to the Lake District Fri-Sun for a friend's hen do. Monday = as Thursday. Back to work on Tuesday - my colleagues have been warned!

Hmmm, no power input is a bit of a dealbreaker for me, I'd want to make sure it was 100% charged up in advance after testing it out a bit. I've taken a bit of a risk and ordered one of these instead, the spec looks better for the price but I'll wait and see when/if it arrives!
-
My daughter has one of these, I am pretty sure it is called "Festival" on the box!
-
Good spot. I think they sting you for £10 airtime when you get to the check-out though :s
-
Waking up, starting to think about packing up and heading back to the car - depressed.
Remembering I only have to drive to London for now and will be seeing Monty Python tomorrow night - slightly less so!
-
I haven't had a chance yet, will hopefully swing by Lidl tomorrow to see if I can grab one. Will report back if I can.

Scored myself a free mobile phone to take with me with minimum faffing around - £5 on the o2 website and £5 cashback via Quidco!
More info - http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/185259-mobile-for-a-fiver/ -
Thought this might be worth sharing...
O2 have a Nokia 100 handset they're selling for £5 with a free PAYG sim card that looks like it'll do the job of a temporary festival phone rather nicely. I've been able to get it for free using a cashback site too!
From the link it's the first option '3G pay and go go go' (it says £10 next to it but that's for a monthly contract) - https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/prepaysims/nokia/100-pink/?cmm_mmc=affiliate-_-47868-_-blank-_-blank
...and even better, if you have a Quidco cashback account already you can use the link below to take you to the o2 website so it tracks the sale and get £5 cashback so the phone is essentially free!
http://www.quidco.com/o2-mobiles/ (£5 for PAYG link on left)
Yes it's pink (
) but for a free festival phone I can deal with that! If anyone's interested I can let you know how long it takes for the cashback to arrive. Has anyone else found any bargains?
edit - the transaction has appeared in my Quidco account straight away so it's looking good to be a total freebie!!

Leaving Newcastle around lunchtime on Tuesday and driving down to a B&B in Yeovil where we will attempt to get some sleep (herbal supplements may be necessary!
)Planning on leaving around 5:30am to drive up to the festival site. Hopefully this tactic will mean we'll have enough space to get all our group's tents put up and enough time for a power nap before they arrive!

There do seem to be quite a lot of sites with similar instructions to unlock them so I reckon it must be possible. I don't have enough knowledge to judge which site looks least dodgy though!
