Did you abandoned your sack trolley at Glastonbury?

[philipsteak]

Oh dear ... there appears to be corroborating evidence of said very sad man with microwave ... beginning to look like some peeps obviously are either very gullible or very stupid or perhaps both But noooooo, I'm still having immense difficulty believing this isn't a wind up. No one could possibly be that stupid and reach an age where they could actually get to the festival on their own surely All we need now is some pix to prove it beyond any reasonable doubt We need pix. Way too good a photo opportunity for someone not have taken at least one !!!!

I always take a wheelbarrow with bungy clips, works a treat especially if the weather turns rough and you are trying to take you gear back to the car in several inches of mud.

[bigjontour]

Wheelie bin , truly unbeatable takes on all retain no need for bungies and tape or cling film wrap! Load is always stable no wobbling, waterproof! Served us a treat

[jamesglast]

yea..good luck with the granny trolley ones..not sturdy enough imo- the ones from B&Q look decent enough,and iirc people on here have said they're good..and cheap too:)

Eh? All of ours plug into the Sun.

I know it's a crazy idea, but why not take less!

Less to worry about, less to consume, less to have to take back to the car, less to leave behind when you can't be arsed to take it back to the car.

Year on year, I am amazed at what people take on site with them, horrified at what they leave.

FFS, this year I even followed a guy wheeling in a microwave oven on his sack truck. When I asked him what the plan was, he was under the impression that power points were provided!

Leave your cozy notions of civilization at home, experience some semblance of nature. Who knows, we might even begin to respect the place a bit more. At the very least getting in and out might be a bit easier without having to tip toe through the broken wheels and tires.

We shall not be taking anywere near as much as we took this year, i shall still use the sack truck though but leave the beer at home,also the camping cooker,food,and chairs. I found we left loads of beer behind,never cooked anything and its cheap enough to buy a couple of chairs onsite and leave them behind after. Even with the sacktruck, it was a hard push up from a car park somewere accross the main road and about 4 fields back. So less is better

I used to be able to take less when I was younger because I was fine to sleep on the floor, stay in wet clothes, crawl in and out of a tiny tent etc.

It's not like that now - but we don't leave anything behind so theres no problem.

I got a fishing trolley about 4 years ago. It looks totally unstable but it's done us just fine. Well - to be fair he pulls it, and it looks quite a struggle but hey - we get there!

I'm on the other side. I push ... she wanders along looking for more things to put on the trolley. Please take your chairs home people - she hates to see things go to waste, but I'm not getting any younger!

[cejx]

Ha ha! best argument against leaving stuff behind yet!!

In my defence I have to say that i do carry a very big and heavy rucksack. As a pairing it works really badly because he keeps wanting to stop and put the weight his down whereas I want to keep going because my weight is stuck on my back! We were really shouting at each other by the time we were getting wristbanded this year!

Everyone on here told me my plastic shopping trolley would break with crates of lager in it, but it survived the handle snapped slightly but that was coz i started running with it haha. it was stolen though so couldn't bring it home

I took a rather good BNQ sack truck with pnumatic wheels. With all the scavenging we did I had to find another trolley (one for my then gf to carry the rest). I luckily found an identical trolley but yellow in a ditch, it had a sofa on it I think and also a massive bag (must have been a teepee). Unfortunately I couldn't take the big tent of wonders so I just took the sack truck, the person obviously left it because even with several people it would have been a struggle to get it all out. A passing guy helped me to take out the sack truck though.

I had one of those orange B&Q push-trolley things that lots of people on here were buying. Saw quite a few people with them. Really great for carrying heavy stuff like beer, definately saved a trip back to the car and painful arms/fingers!

I was pleasantly amused by the ever building morgue of those Asda blue cool boxes that seemed to be fookin everywhere on the walk back to Gate D on the Monday!

I for one as you know take far too much usually but Ikea Bags are your festival friend and I have seriously cut down on taking shit loads now.

And the trick is never ever to overload the sack trolley!
