In the evenings the Camera is ditched, as my night pics always end up crap so I've stopped bothering, and I normally get rid of the water as well.

But I add:

And also ditch the flip flops for warmer socks and converse, and grab a sweatshirt to cover my lovely brown shoulders after living in a vest all day :P

Amazing how many people say they will carry hand sanitizer! Given it's quite a recent concept it's amazingly popular!

Given we all survived without them before do people think it's essential or just a nice to have?

In 2009 i lugged my little rucksack around for my two fello companions, with everything from Toilet roll, beers, hand lotion et al. It was very heavy to start with , unitil the beers went of course but i ended up with a sweaty back, it was just very annoying. Last year i got one of the draw string jobbies from the Gaurdian paper stall which was a lot easier. If you where combats you can carry your sun glasses . money, camera etc in the pockets and other items such as a top for later and some beers or spirits in the and sling it around your shoulder. This is my intention this year.

I seem to cart more and more stuff around each year... But its all necessary. If I didnt have any of these I would probably have to trek aaaaaaaaall the way back to the tent...

Im thinking of investing in a new bag. A proper back pack type one. Only trouble is, Ill have everything we dont want getting nicked in my bag, and if my bag is on my back I cant help but wonder about pick pockets...

I'm a fan of the minimalist approach.

Money

Loo roll

Clashfinder

Guide around neck

Buffalo Special 6 Shirt around my waist

Cannot overstate how good Buffalo kit is. When it's wet it keeps you dry, when it's cold it keeps you warm, but when it's hot and wet you don't overheat.

Only downside is that you won't look good regardless of the conditions.

This year intend to carry a plastic bottle filled from my 5 litre box of Red Wine and maybe a cup

Worth carrying a chair as you can sit on it or put your stuff on it and don't end up with the bag on your back all day (am old)

Round neck, guide, lip salve and the little LED off my bicycle

On head, sunglasses

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
