Good work Jacko. I cant follow the facebook wall, or the twitter feed, they are both full of the people who entered the competition to win tickets banging on about the festival!

Hopefully someone will actually tell the gate staff!

3 weeks tomorrow, might recover by then

I get noodles from my local Chinese supermarkets. A-One are really nice. Much nicer than western supermarket crap. I pretty much live on them over the weekend.

I like Ram's notion of freezing entire 2l bottles of water. I usually took fridge-cold liquids and some bags if ice cubes, everything would be melted, wet, and warm by Friday, Saturday at the latest. Will be trying it over the weekend.

A culinary specialist ha ha !

You taking a car to kendal jacko ? If you are then id suggest getting a freezer box and a few 2ltr milk bottles. When the milk bottles are empty then fill them with water and freeze them solid. Then when you leave to go to the festival put the milk bottles in your freezer box. Then you can pack stuff like bacon, sausage and burgers that will stay cold most of the festival. Freeze the bacon etc before you pack it and move stuff to the top of the box that you want defrosting quicker.

Did this last year on the thursday and still had full bbq on sunday and breakfast and cold beer on monday morning.

If youre not taking a car then stuff like tins of big breaksfast are ok, mattessons smoked sausage doesnt need chilling and makes stuff like pasta and noodles a bit more interesting. Cous cous is quick and tasty and you can buy tuna steaks in foil packets in loads of flavours like sweet chillie sauce to add something different.

I took 3 freezer boxes last year, one for bbq stuff and the others had about 8 cans in each, they were ice cold and as you drank them you put a new warm can down the bottom of the pile.if its not stupid hot it should keep the cans cold most of the festival. You could also freeze a few smaller plastic milk containers around the items as well as the big chunky ones to help the cold. The better insulated the box the better but they work pretty well.

If its sunny jacko you might be just as well keeping the box in your tent porch where it can get a bit of air rather than in a stifling hot car with no windows down.

I used to to the 500ml ones but they used to be water in a day or so, the 2ltr ones are big but last year on the monday they all still had ice in the middles of them. All depends how hot it is, hopefully a scorcher

    • 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.
