Do not wear manmade fibre socks, do not wear trainers, do not wear the same pair of shoes 2 days running (rotate)

My dad's feet were legendary throughout the west country, small children in the next town would cry when, of an evening he got in from work and took his shoes off. I've seen onions wrinkle at 30 paces and he once killed a seagull when a welly came off when stuck in mud.

By 18 I knew I had the gene. Camping expeditions with the missus would see my feet left sticking out of the tent at night (that trek to the north pole made much worse by this, I can tell you) and the shame of my pongy pair was more of a buzzkill than a daily mail reader at a party.

Then, in my early 20s, while travelling through mystical lands (kings heath, birmingham) I met a wise old sage (well, actually a fat man with a bad moustache, but hey ho) who imparted to me thus..

Only wear cotton or wool socks, not those shitty sport sock things made of polymer whatsit, they don't let your feet breathe. Change them every day, twice a day if you can get away with it and if you wear a pair of shoes, let them air for a full day before wearing them again. This stops the fungus that causes the smell, which lives in the sweat. Dry, aired shoes don't smell and nor do your feet.

These days I rotate a different pair of cons every day, wear sensible socks (can be cheap too, like a fiver for a pack of seven from matalan) and my feet haven't smelled in over a decade, in fact every second tuesday Fergie comes round and sucks my toes, not for my pleasure, for hers.

This seems like a good place to ask!!

Has any one got Gelert Sleeping Pod XL? I want one for the comfort, and I currenly have amazon prime trial running but the sellers with 3 season version are not eligible for amazon prime. So I was just wondering worth the extra cost? Will the normal pod be enough for glasto? :)

Got a Duronic hybrid wind up/solar radio for £15 on amazon for worthy fm action. Will post back to let ya all know if it's any good.

Been cruising the supermarkets for glasto related BOGOFS- duracell ultra batterys sainsburys and some 'men expert' (?) deodorant that's apparently good for 96 HOURS between sprays!!

Don't think I'll wait until Saturday for my squaddy shower blast at glasto though :lol:

Raided the 99p store today!

They are selling packs of plasters plus antiseptic wipes (both are in same packet) and also found a waterproof sheet in there - use to sit on outside tents etc

Bought various toiletries from savers - baby wipes, hand refreser wipes, dry shampoo (on offer for £1) packets for tissues - easier to carry than toilet rools

Also ordered two new sleeping bags from millets - rectangle Eurohike ones are half price (£9.99)

An 18 pack of Tosco's own style Handy Andies, £1.19. On the shelf below at 55p EACH per single pack, the Kleenex Balm tissues. Madness! At any one time I always have at least 5 packs in my bag - up to 3 as a safety net so I know I wont run out and 2 to spare to hand out tissues at loos for ladies not as well prepared as me. The Toscos tissues are a very good little tissue and better than what Poundland have on offer as theirs currently - those are much thinner and dare i say...a bit scratchy. Toscos own are like Velvet :D
