If you have enough spare room in your car, then I would always recommend a wheelbarrow. Not least because you might have one sitting around in your garden, and they lap up the mud

The wheelbarrow id the most important thing I take, apart from the beer and hob nobs of course.

...And the ticket

I got one of these for reading:

works wonders!! Had my icarus 500, both our backpacks full of clothes/beer etc as we was going by public transport! Worked a charm just an bit awkward to carry up stairs etc, if your going by public transport as the bottom plate bit doesn't come out far enough to get a grip. (Might need to adjust this, but i am learning to drive soon anyway :D)

Having seen a variety of carrying equipment over the years....

I got myself a 2nd hand pram off ebay; £5.50 - bargain.

It's got 4 x chunky pneumatic wheels - all stearable and removable, designed for multi terrain, German built!

Load the carry cot and the base rack with all your stuff, just use a couple of bungy straps to secure.

For 2 of us it does mean a 2nd journey from car park but it was brilliant at Glasto last year. There was almost a sense of gloating / smugness at pushing with one hand with a beer in the other :)

After seeing Boilerman's very comfortable camping set up at Bearded Theory I have been considering his point about getting a nice standing height tent, with a trolley to carry it. I bottled out of buying a £50 5 man tent last week, but I am seriously considering a trolley.

So I am going to keep any eye on all suggestions.

Like the ones in the efestivals shop, but a cheaper option might be a sack trolley from B&Q, with pneumatic wheels, for around £25.

Any opinions, recommendations?

Still on my 4 wheeler from 2 years ago... been sat in the garden the whole time and still fresh as a daisy. I do laugh at people who bring those 2 wheel parcel trolleys and spill their shit everywhere... just get a 4 wheel flatbed!

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early.

    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
