borosupporter82 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Cheapest I found for the 4 x 4 pneumatic tyres option was this one: http://www.robertdyas.co.uk/P~148837~Heavy-Duty-Garden-Cart Use the code FREEDEL40 for free delivery. I have just ordered one so thought I'd share. Hope it helps someone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoJ Posted March 29, 2013 Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Brought a folding wheelbarrow last year. Total lifesaver, gets through easily, less to get stuck, and doesn't take up too much space in the car/coach. Maybe bring a spanner though, my wheel fell off on the Monday.

ked Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Pneumatic tyres are a must, anything else won't be able to hack the terrain. I've been using a fishing trolley for the past 5 years or so, it's served well under ridiculous conditions.. Although I am tempted to upgrade to a garden cart - the Robert Dyas one linked earlier looks like a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markcellardoor Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 This has got me through 3 to 4 festivals a year since Glasto 2010 it struggled a bit in the hard dryish chunky mud by one of the gates on the Wednesday in 2011 but has served me well otherwise. As long as you're not bringing everything but the kitchen sink with you it's fine. high wheels and fold up make it. funky leisure have them.. back in stock in May... http://www.funkyleisure.co.uk/off-roader-festival-trolley-294-p.asp the 4 wheeled ones earlier is the best option but not good for space in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnaGrant Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I've just taken delivery of a mk1funky leisure trolley, that is in stock at the moment. It has a 50kg weight limit, but I figured I wouldn't be able to pull a mk2 at max capacity-120 kg- anyway. I need mine for mid May when I go to Bearded Theory festival, and wasn't convinced it was worth waiting for the mk2 to come back into stock. Haven't seen the trolley yet as its a birthday present so I have to wait until next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oliveoyl Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I used to use one of these.... ...Went to maybe 8 festivals, still got it and it still works. Had upto 4 x 24 crates on it. If used correctly it won't collapse unlike what some will lead you to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borosupporter82 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Glad the link was of use soundforever, as you say an extra couple of pints at the cider bus. After the initial trip from the car, generally are these trolleys used around the festival every day? I'm in two minds about using it to carry drink around all day, especially at the main stages because I also have a beer belt to hold 6 cans and a thinking about using the secure lockup a to store booze too so it's not all kept in my tent. I have a large 5 man tent to store the trolley but don't like the idea of leaving it in there unoccupied during the day too. Hopefully the wheels won't get too dirty to muddy the inside of the tent. Could use it as a base for a table or extra setting around the camp too Edited April 12, 2013 by borosupporter82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coma girl Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah trollies are allowed in the lock ups, people put in bikes and kid's buggys so a trolley (especially a folding one) isn't much different. Mine will be going in the lock ups, it will just clutter up my tent and risk being pinched otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vardas Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Watching people in 2011 carting stuff across the site the ones with wheelbarrows seemed to be finding it easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justperfect Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I've just requested a new wheelie bin from the council. (Told them mine got nicked). I plan to adapt this into a mobile trolly/truck for transportation of stuff from carpark to site. Im on a severe budget so this was cheapest option. Has anyone else had any success using this method, Surley im not the first to try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leggins Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I too have one of these, still going strong after 5 or 6 festivals over the past few years. Always give it a little service before heading off. The wheels are looking a bit worn out, but looking into sourcing some rubber tyres for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coma girl Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yeah I've seen people struggling with bins in bad weather, must weigh a ton when they're fully loaded up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
