olly236 Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 it rained on a couple of nights last year, and on one day it rained and was horrible weather. you wont be in your tent at all during the day, itll start cooking you at around 10 and then youll be up, but everyone at festivals seems to gain a superhuman ability to run on not much sleep so take some hammocks and pray you get near some trees, and you will be fine, i wasnt overly hot last year, just what u expect from going to a festival in spain in july.

st00ka Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Have you tried covering yourself in tin foil during the day, that ought to deflect the rays of the cruel sun ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shineman Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi - I'm coming alone and was wondering if anyone has a hotel reservation they want to share for a few nights? I didn't want to pay for a full room by myself, but having access to a shower, pool, AC, and a bed for a night or two sounds nice! I'd be happy to pay my share. Anyone looking to add a person and cut down on their costs? I'm 27 year old female from NYC. I'm there from beginning to the end (arrive July 13, leave July 22). Also - if I bring my hammock, will I be able to set it up somewhere? I'm arriving on the 13th, so will have good picking among spots. Just curious! thanks!

sproston_greeen Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 my tips to keep cool.... go to the beach and get a lounger with a brolly. you get the wind and you can jump in the sea. if not the beach then go to the waterpark where the water is cooler, they also have loungers, no sand, lots of fun, showers for you to get ready at instead of waiting in the massive queues at the campsite but it will cost you about 15 europs. worth doing on one or two days when the festival is on if there's good bands on early as most people will be having showers at the campsites at the same time i have ginger skin, although not ginger hair, i'm cursed by being scottish so i burn like f**k! i need to apply factor duffle coat frequently. worst mistake you can make is getting burnt early doors, it can ruin your week. and don't think it's gay to get a guy to rub lotion on your back, i'd rather look gay for 1 minute than look like a f**kin idiot for the rest of the week bring a hammock and sleep in that. even better if you can get a tarpaulin and hang it from the trees facing east so you can get an extra hour or so less sun in the morning. use a small tent to keep your belongings in. a lilo will also do for a bed. no need for husge tents, unless you plan on getting your end away most importantly, buy a cool box for the beers!!!!!!!

EJane Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, Thanks for the keeping cool tips. I have a non camping ticket. Would someone like to swap their camping ticket for mine? Anyone who isn't camping. I'll give you £40, extra beer money.. It's just me going and I still haven't sorted out a place to stay, even though I brought my ticket probably just as the camping ones sold out. So kind of unlucky.. would someone out there swap and put my mind at rest please. I have a print out ticket and can meet in London first, or in Benicassim. I actually arrive the day the festival starts! Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlottie Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 When did you book for hotel orange? and how much is it costing you? Looked into staying there but they said they were fully booked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannodaisy Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 Guys! I'm about having a meltdown with the Renfe site, lol. Every time I go to book tickets online through their website it somehow changes my booking to Madrid/Barbelona instead of the options I've already chosen...... Anyone else had this problem and how did you get round it??? Suppose the obvious answer would be just to phone them up, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
