pheweeee. After a weeks holiday in Cornwall - and a wedding, Cornish bitter, ice cream, Cream Teas and a meal at Rick Steins posh restaurant, I gained a pound! Yey! The 8 mile a day walking must have helped!

I've started running more now

currently my workout routine is as follows;

Day 1, chest/tris

Day 2 , back/bis

Day 3 , 45-60mins cardio

Day 4, back./traps

Day 5 - legs

Day 6 cardio/

Day 7 - cardio

Sometimes don't get to fit it all in due to work!

Cutting down my alcohol consumption massively too, generally drink prob 20pints a week? go out twice a week 8-10 a night, then couple of beers after work 2-3 nights

All those extra calories add fat to me :(:(

That's what I thought after Alchemy. I was pleasantly surprised :)

I'm sure you won't have put on that much and even if you have you'll soon lose it now your back in the real world!

Well I have ignored this thread & ignored my diet for weeks now but as I did manage to get a ticket this morning I will get back on track! Haven't gained anything but obviously haven't lost anything either so time to focus. :)

Aged 37, I decided that it was time to start running. I've always swam but could hardly run a few paces. So I'm doing the Bristol 10K next May, and the aim is to do it in under an hour. I've now got 58 minute pace... on a treadmill for 30 minutes. So some work to do then. Good luck to everyone else on this thread!

Hey,

Got involved in this last year but it all went by the way once everyone backed out and we decided (me by force) not to go, but this year I'm going there's a group of us and we're already talking fancydress as you do. I also have 2 weddings and horror of horrors bridesmaid's outfits to wear.

So basically I'm in and need your help 7 stone to go!

and if your interested thats me in the fairy costume, I will never be a fat fairy at another Glastonbury!!

schmangle-mangle that's just ticket buying stress, it's over, step away from the barrel!

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
