I always leave packing till last minute usually, as well as buying things for it. But this year I'm putting a bit more thought into it and might be a bit more preparred

Sort of. Got a bag in my wardrobe where i put my glasto stuff and its getting full.

Bought 2 shirts off Urban outfitters for 9p each along with 2 ex-army bags for 9p each, there must have been a pricing error on the net so I went for it, never thought they would send them though, perfect glasto bargin

i start buying booze and food and storing it in the garage from about 5 months out, a few bits every week and when it comes to glastonbury week i dont have to go and get a load of stuff in 1 go. only problem is that you've got to pretend that the booze isnt there !

My dissertation is due Monday 21st June, so I'll probably pack on the Tuesday. I always pack my clothes at the last moment, so that I can see what the weather's going to be like and adjust things slightly based upon that.

I've already started buying stuff though, but this year, I'm going to try and pack light.

Got a new tent / rucksack last summer. Got the tent because our old one got jumped at V, and we've been using our dads old rucksacks which weren't designed for women, which these new ones are :P

Also got a step each to see over the crowd at the same time, but will leave the other packing until a couple of says before.

Since most of my stuff is currently about 100 miles away in Brighton, it'd be quite hard for me to pack yet! Probably won't pack until the day before.

I went with a trolley last year which got stolen on the sunday night, my tent collapsed too as I took it down so I had to sacrafice some stuff - (Tent / inflatable bed / pump) so a bit of buying to do this year. I am looking for a tent and a new bag currently, hoping to travel a lot lighter this year as I am in a small car.

I snapped up a hydration back pack and a bum bag from T K Max last week, only cost me a tenner for the both. They had some handy camping gear there all cheap as chips, good makes too.

I'm bidding on a new pump for my aerobed I over charged the last one and its broken. Going to start gathering vodka after pay day

Ive got a standard photocopied list that i use for each festival and add bits to it or cross stuff off accordingly. The list starts with 'ticket' having set off without it befre. Saves me writing a new list for each festival every year. Shall be travelling much lighter this year though as Ive got 4 temts to put up on the weds, three for mates arriving on the thurs

I will start packing my rucksack a few days before,starting to add things and storing in the cupboard at the mo.

I want to go lighter this year.Last year on the Wednesday,a hot day,I must have carried the rucksack for about 2 hours before we found a place to pitch our tents.I was completely shagged out!

I fully deserved that warm can of cider in my rucksack once the tent was up!!

:P

i'm not looking forward to unpacking our tent from last year which is still under my bed. eurgh. everything else will be sorted out a day before the festival though. it'll be just a few clothes, rolling stuff, cider, wellies and sleeping bag.

what else is really needed?

I got the boyfriend to get our stuff out of the loft yesterday! It made us all excited, only need a few bits and bobs for this year, but I cannot help but look at things and think 'that would be good for Glasto'.

Packing will be completed the weekend before, but the whole process of buying stuff starts now and hopefully this week the tent will be waterproofed (not that it will rain this year) but best to be safe than sorry!!

    • Was volunteering at the Women’s Cricket World Cup at Southampton yesterday. Was great fun.
    • Definitely see this as being 'weak' on paper but could see a few bumps up from previous sets at Download (Don Broco, Neck Deep etc).
    • Very different in terms of time of game,  yet remember how excited I was before the first game in Euro 2016 having grown up not sure I would ever see wales in an international tournament. That day scraped a win against Slovakia and was just happy to see wales score and win at a tournament, little did I know we would finish in the top 4. Hope Scottish fans get the same experience.
