This wil be our second Glasto so still a newbie, but our first was the 2016 year of the mud, we learnt a few things not least pack light as possible. my trolley weighed a ton but pulled along nicely on concrete, not the same in thick mud, which seemed to be sticky and clog up the trolley wheels.
My wife is not the camping type and has a fear of public loos, so going to Glasto was hard for her, although she loved it, despite me running my heavy trolley over her toe on the monday morning ending up with her loosing a toenail. the only tips i can give which helped her get through it were, eye mask, ear plugs and hot water bottle for bedtime, ( taking a jetboil this year which is light and small ) she put wet wipes up her nose when going in the loos, and as she gets migraines, we brought a few travel john wee bags in case she was stuck in the tent, ( which she was all day saturday where we didn't see 1 band ), these were great for her to use on that first wee every morning as she would not have made the trek and queuing for 20 mins for a loo, as she has to go as soon as she get vertical in the morning.
We are doing a lot of things different this year but are buzzing to be going again.

It’s not a ban - you can bring your own with you and decant as needed etc - they just won’t be selling any at the festival, which makes getting mixers a little trickier as it used to be very convenient to just buy a bottle of coke, drink the top quarter and then add spirit as needed. Having to buy cans all the time and decanting them is a bit of a pain in the arse, and the cost will soon add up as you plough through them.
Hi Everyone, hearing some good tips on here, just wondered if these would help with the decanting into can problem, sort of turns the can into a sealable bottle.

Hi People, new to forum so hello fellow glastogoers. Just thought i would add what happened to me in coach sale.( sorry if this has been discussed before ), But i got though to the booking page and booked my coach, however when i submitted the page i was then left waiting for the payments page to come up, after 5 mins my F****** browser (firefox) timed out and gave me an error page, so alas no tickets bought.
As as this can happen to anyone i thought i would warn you so can set the timeout to longer than the 5mins (300 secs) set in the defaults, look online at using the about:config in your address bar to change settings. Not sure about chrome or IE.
Good luck to all on Sunday.
Too early to talk tents??

I have an Icarus 500 which i take to Glasto for just me and the misses, she has trouble if she is on her knees too much. 😬 its heavy compared to our 2 man vango but i have a good trolley with big wheels so easier to pull. also we do a second trip to the car after tent is up, i also have a 60L rucksack on while pulling it. we park in Ashcombe which is nearer and you can be through the gates in 15 mins. We had a horrendous 2016 with it though, an hour and a half through the mud from pink parking, nearly killed me, it was my first Glasto and i took too much stuff. So i still take the icarus but you need to limber up first at the car and take a few rest stops on the way. standing up in the tent is worth the effort.
