I go to festivals with my other half and we have never split. I would love to go and have a bimble about, stop and watch more random stuff, but hubster isn’t really up for the solo experience and I completely get that so wouldn’t put him through it. We do a lot of compromising and so far it has worked for us but I’m sure there will come a day when we have to be brave 😁

Thankfully we have a trolley that has seen us through a good many festivals but I am currently trying to whittle down to what are essentials so the load will be smaller. I have been given some good tips on this thread, I hope you can use them too. Thankfully 99.9% of people there are amazing and I’m sure will offer help if needed. I hope you have a fab time x

Thanks Boomtowner 🙂 I’ve a good few weeks to get an idea of what might work for me so fingers crossed!

I would have to give this a go, great idea 😀

This sounds so scary 😧 I do think I could possibly get through on the energy of the place alone plus visits to the healing fields but it’s the “what if I make it worse long term?” Also I don’t want to burden my husband if things do go belly up at the festival. I have been signed off work for the next 2 weeks so I have got chance to recuperate and re-assess. Ms Mendip that sounds like you have a plan 😁

I will definitely look into that book and try and find the forums. Thanks. I just can’t decide, is it worth the risk? My head says no but my heart says are you seriously considering not going?!!!!!!

Good advice thank you 😁 I have been in so much pain with it the past couple of weeks and went into panic mode when I got my MRI results back on Monday. I am usually really active as it’s been awful to have to stop doing the things I love (not minded not doing the housework though😂). I am trying to think positive but really concerned about lugging my rucksack and tent etc.

I have just been told I have 2 bulging discs in my lower back. Am I bonkers for thinking I will manage to do the festival? What type of healing is on offer at the healing fields (never made it there yet). This will be my 4th festival so I know it can be tiring on the whole body, but I just don’t want to miss out on the best week of the year! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
