No I know, I was thinking more I like the idea of a wind up radio and lantern. I'll be taking an old brick phone anyway so I doubt that will need any extra charging but good to know I could squeeze a bit of charge from it in an emergency!

these look like a good idea but do they need to be kept cold? i won't have a coolbox of any kind

Lidl got some camping gear too

Good spot, the solar/wind up lantern/radio gizmo looks interesting for a tenner!

Echoing whoever suggested fruit pots, I took a few of the Dole pots last year and they were spot on. They don't look much for the size but they are perfect if you're struggling to eat anything in the morning (or just fancy something slightly healthy) and stay fresh for ages. They do lots of varieties in either jelly or juice and they're on 5 pots for £2 in asda at the moment: http://groceries.asda.com/asda-webstore/pages/landing/home.shtml#/search/dole

Over the weekend I have done the following:
- Taken delivery of my replacement gas stove
- Had a dream about Metallica
- Watched 'Mission to Lars'
- Booked a different (closer and cheaper!) B&B for the Tuesday night (must remember to cancel first booking)
- Walked home in the r**n (NFR NFC!)
- Started a new list for packing and campsite tips (I'm a proper list geek)
- Glastobated over camping gadgets (mega-spork,and radio/light/charger particularly doing it for me atm!)
I also fired off my 'emergency resale announcement' saved text to a couple of friends and one has managed to get one so adding one more to our campsite

whatever happens on the thursday it'll be rammed by default

Dug all my camping stuff out of the cupboards to see what I need to buy. How long does dry shampoo last btw I have enough for another festival but I might just buy a fresh can.

Just been told by EE that these don't charge iPhones , so if you have one don't buy.

Could do with some advice on this actually, I've been lucky enough to have my tent already pitched in previous years... I'm staying in Bristol the night before and driving 3 of us down early in the morning. We'll have 4/5 tents (2 fairly big ones) to put up in advance of the rest of our group arriving and want to get a decent spot in Big Ground again.
Any suggestions what sort of time we should be aiming to leave Bristol in the morning? I'm thinking 5/6ish but that's just a guess really. Any suggestions from people who have done similar before would be very much appreciated!

I don't think women have particularly different footwear requirements to men at a festival
Can seriously recommend spending £35-£40 on wellies rather than a tenner... the insides are so much comfier and they don't dig into your legs when you're sat on the grass.

Hehe yes don't worry I won't be relying on it for anything like that, but thanks for the advice! I'm thinking if the phone charging capabilities are going to be used at all it'll only be for a moment to be able to turn on a dead phone and write down a phone number (e.g. my sister with her iPhone last year
). I'd never thought of taking a radio to listen to Worthy FM at the campsite but now I've seen other people mentioning how much they enjoy it in the mornings I reckon I need to give it a go!
