Self Blow up mats are slightly more padded than roll mats. Blow up beds are beds. I used a mat last year. Does give you a bit of cushion but still hard. I still managed a good sleep on my side. Ciderbus had something to do with it!

Just bought 5x space blankets, 2x waterproof ponchos (... not tempting fate here I hope!) and a tiny rucksack thing to put valuables in before putting in lockups. Tent will be sorted this week, then all ready as far as I can tell aside from booze and food.

An excursion to Poundland?

I went there looking for the emergency shelters but they all seem to be green this year rather than silver, would rather have these than the space blankets (as they are bigger so don't need to be taped together). Has anyone seen the silver shelters in stock anywhere? Have tried the Poundland branches in Brixton, Dalston and Exeter.

I tried a few down our way but again, all green, so gave up and bought them on ebay - cost a couple of quid, but so worth it. have edged them with gaffa tape and made a criss cross net on them with packaging tape, so they're a bit sturdier and maybe stand a chance of lasting more than 1 fest!!

I've had em all out in the stock rooms looking and everything. They are quite puzzled in there why so many people keep coming in asking for them!!

Still managed to pick up a few handy bits in there tho - the camping light is proper bright and the karabina bungees are wicked. The water carriers and tripod stools lasted us well last year and also the picnic blankets they had were waterproofed on one side so were handy too

    • I’ve had a good sleep and I feel weirdly zen about the whole thing.   My first Primavera, so not the greatest first impression. I guess today couldn’t be any worse, right?   Thoroughly enjoyed Men I Trust and Geese. Cupra is a beautiful stage and the crowd seemed fun, friendly and engaged.   I think it probably could have gone even worse, considering how dangerous the crowding felt at times.   Anyway, we go again.
    • Brighton centre is a weird old venue for the Mary Wallopers - a great band, a really good live spectacle, and its a saturday night as well which sets it all up - but its at the bloody Centre? a charmless nonsense of a conference centre? Brighton dome is a ten min walk away and is so much nicer a place to see bands its ridiculous!    ah well, i'll probably mosy along anyways . . . 
    • So bad honestly. I get that bad weather happens but their communication was non existent. When you're managing crowds of tens of thousands of people, it's just not good enough. I left when Massive Attack was cancelled (the first time) and it genuinely did feel unsafe trying to get out. No one knew what was going on, people still sitting in the ground when there were hoards of people trying to leave, no crowd management at all...   I've been to PS enough times to know sometimes you need to just roll with it but this was way worse than "the bar queue was 30 minutes long".    Today will be better but still feel super disappointed.
