Sophiea92 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Getting so excited now and as it's my first festival I'm not really too sure on what to take. So far I'm taking: Underwear Toiletries Joggers and hoody Spare vest tops 2 bottles of water Crate of beer Tent Sleeping bag Does that sound about right?! Only problem is cos I'm such a weakling I cannot carry it all!!! So was thinking of taking a suitcase. Is that a wise idea? Have you see anyone else with a suitcase?! Lol thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy71 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Best bet is to invest in a cheap trolley type thing. My wife's just bought one for V Fest this weekend. Buy a cheap one and then dump it if it gets broken: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rolson-Tools-68900-Folding-Capacity/dp/B000WDXN22/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1313572112&sr=8-2 or buy a decent one if you think you'll use it several times: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toolzone-Folding-Storage-Trolley-Capacity/dp/B003WM73EO/ref=pd_sim_diy_3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megman Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yer seems about right. Defo try and pack as light as you can, I learnt from last year! Being dumb I packed so much stuff I could have done without so this year its bare minimum!!! Just make sure you have plenty of layers. You can use the Festibarrow service, its like a wheelbarrow, not sure how much it is, it comes free with Hospitality. But we would have never got to the campsite last year without it. Loads of ppl had wheelie cases last year, altho remember if it rains its gann be pretty hard to drag it through the grass/mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3NTAL RAV3R Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yep I agree with megman I took a wheelie case last year and even though it was not raining at the time it was a right task the wheels just get clogged up with grass and mud and it gets harder and harder to drag up them hills go with delboy71 idear or get a festibarrow think they are £10 to rent may be wrong you can prebook them so its ready for you when ye get there hope this helps.

greg1999 Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 sounds about right, just take essentials... tent, sleeping bag, ticket, money, clothes, baby wipes, deodorant, water, glasses. you're in runcorn though, chances are you'll find aload of asda trollies at the side of the road to help you carry it in.

coolhull Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 I bought a trolley thing this year as we had alot of stuff to carry last year mainly beer.lol. Its going to be a really good buy and only cost £25 on amazon, I loaded it up other night to test it out and can get everything on it, a little tip if you do buy a trolley get some of them elastic spring tie things to hold everything on ya trolley.lol. just when ya going over the bumpy ground something is bound to fall off!!
