things to buy

[DeejayDawn]

get a sturdy trolley, our trolley last year was rubbish..too flimsy and crap

get a decent one, like the one from B+Q sack truck i think, and you'll be laughing ...all tthe way to the campsite

[Spindles]

Is it three at a squeeze or comfortably three that tent? Seems to be conflicting reviews. We've got a three man at the moment, but could do with a new one.

Does anyone know what these Teepee's are like http://www.amazon.co.uk/Vango-Juno-500-Man-Tent/dp/B0045Y0QPQ/ref=sr_1_27?s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1299678090&sr=1-27 ?? I quite fancy the Idea of being able to stand up before venturing out in the mornings! My old knees made a graceful exit out of my tent last year almost impossible!!

If you're after waterproof trousers, try the biggest size in the childrens section. They fitted me fine (I'm not particularly tiny) and were less than half the price of the adult ones!

That was Oswald Baileys, by the way.

i'm looking for a cheap solar charger possibly attached to backpack(saw one last year in the crowd)

i had a small pink one that was amazing for quickly recharging camera but its finally died so any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Depends on the 3

The porch is reasonably generous, and you have about 6 by 6 feet of usable sleeping space.

From what I've seen of these teepee tents they always look saggy and collapsed by the end of the festival. Not sure if this is because all the guy ropes have been tripped over and pulled out or what. But you can get standard dome tents that are plenty tall enough to stand in.

Out tent broke beyond repair last year (nothing to do with me allegedly falling straight through it head first on the 1st night back to the tent ). Anyway on the Sunday afternoon when everyone left we stayed to avoid the traffic and 'recycled' this tent which was left behind - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_745505_langId_-1_categoryId_236906

We've used it since and it's plenty tall enough to stand up in the middle section. Even the bedroom sections are tall enough to just stoop.

The cheapest I found unlocking (in the local market) was a tenner, so you're probably best off buying the cheapest Nokia you can find on your network. Or look on eBay for second hand unlocked phones.

I bought one of these today:

£32 for a tent that is usually 3 times the price! Bargain. I already own one and it has done many festivals, however last year my daughter and I decorated it to look like a tortoise, so I decided that for £32 I would buy a replacement 'sans tortoise'

These are great tents, took some heavy rain on Thurs/Fri at glasto 2009, no worries.

[Smurf123]

These trolleys are damn good and only £19.99. Bargain

3 things that i shall NOT be forgetting this year..

1. Airbed, i just cant cut sleeping on the ground anymore.

2. Torch, I didn't take any sort of in-tent lighting, and it drove me mad trying to find things at night.

3. Space Blanket, to prevent 8 am boil in the bag wake-ups.

Do they work? Badly need one of them. The Saturday morning last year a world class bender on Friday was pure hell.

[The Nal]

I second that, Saturday morning i was up at 6.30 in a poole of sweat with a bangin head and not even a solo shower under the water tap (no queue) could save me!! do they work?

[MyTwistedWords]

I had to lay in a semi conscious state under our gazebo for 5 hours. And still felt like shit when I woke up.

[The Nal]

I'm worried however, that if i buy one it'll rain... so perhaps i shant bother!

[MyTwistedWords]

Was more the shielding from the sun last year. Hopefully it'll be the same this year!

[Liam13th]

Yeah they do work, really effective!

[Liam13th]

Also if you freeze some beers and put them under your ground sheet wrapped in a space blanket, they WILL stay cool for the whole weekend. But this does mean you will have to take an airbed to prevent a sore back.
