Essential things to take to Glasto

[eoinca]

at Bestival last year i was on drugs (and so therefor ate fuck all) for the entirety of the weekend and so went for my first dump at the end of the final day. it wasn't a pleasant one and my insides felt like hell so i won't be doing that again! (not eating. not the constant drugs. i'll still be doing that)

Even when I eat well I lose weight at Glastonbury with all the walking, no matter what state im in I always find time for food otherwise further down the line you'll only regret it when your body packs in

By further down the line I meant Saturday evening/Sunday

I used to do that at festivals, but no way could I manage it at Glasto. I find eating helps your body recover from the madness and you feel better sooner when you get home. Besides, trying out all the food is one of my favourite things at Glasto. So many amazing food stalls. I'm already looking forward to the cajun fries from that place in West Holts!

People not shitting for 4 days. A mixture of cowardice and the very height of unhygienic nastiness. Just wrong.

I don't get it either. The bogs aren't nice but they're far from the worst I've seen at festivals and I'd choose them over the stomach cramps that are bound to hit after 4 days. When you finally do go it must be like giving birth!

Everyones in the same boat, I dont see what the big deal is. When you've got to go you've got to go

Mate of mind didnt go for 3 days and he didn't take anything!

Absolutely disgusting. And he was miserable for the duration too.

My biggest problem is with all the boozing and drinking water, I have to piss every 20 minutes.

In for a penny and all that.

Besides the smell, the long drops are generally better than a manky portaloo. At least there's no fear of the dreaded splashback.

I went from the Tuesday night to the Monday morning without going for a dump in 2010.

Felt ok, up until I actually dropped it. Almost fainted in the service stations. Horrifc.

lol, at this thread turning into essentials to how often you dump! all i can say is if your veggie like me and think a lovely hot tasty lentil curry from near the healing fields is a good idea, it rules out the opportunity of holding your poo for more than 6 hours, dear god almost passed out in the tent with the fumes

Im a two craps and two showers a day man. Basics

[The Nal]

Toilet paper might save on at least one of those showers - just a thought.

We camp in Kidney Mead, the walk up the hill is not that bad when you think there are some nice porcelins waiting for you

I do not understand the No Poo Policy!! It's madness!

As for eating, you really need to eat at least once a day, even if you have to force it in due to pharmacueatical intake. Trust me. You'll feel better after eating, even if it takes you an hour to eat a small slice of pizza. If you really can't manage 'real' food, get a smoothie thats full of fruity goodness.

With regards to the weight loss, I always lose at least half a stone each Glastonbury- its all the walking!

[JoeyT]

can't for the life of me understand how people go days without doing a poo!

just wrong.

can't be healthy at all!

[Calvin Klein]

Nah. Shower in the morning and after a hard day of walking about in the heat a 6pm another shower is essential for a perk up prior to night time madness.

[The Nal]

What showers do you use?
