ChrisTGA Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Just bought myself one also. Thanks Penguin. Yeah I bought one too haha, cheers for the find as I was about to buy a more expensive one and you saved me like £70. Should be here tomorrow so we'll see what it's like! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divein Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 For the hayfever sufferers Tesco have some decent stuff on the cheap. Beaconase nasal spray £2.50 Optrex eye drops £2.50 Otravine nasal (sp?) £2 These are all usually round the £4 mark They also have prevailin nasal spray for £3 I think. It's usually about £7-£10 and I really recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I was looking for something waterproof to replace the coat which I first wore to Glastonbury 98, which safe to say absorbs water now. Got this for 15 quid, tenner less than amazon, fraction of the full price, packs into a pocket with a twangy strap and even arrived within a couple of days.http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/mens-regatta-magnitude-iii-waterproof-jacket-14-99-delivered-regatta-ebay-2112446 My 1995 adidas waterproof finally gave way last summer at Glastonbury!

Spindles Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Looking like the most important purchase is going to be a good poncho. Off to the army surplus shop today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waapster Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yeah I myself got one for £45 the week before I saw that! Not going to return it as I really like the one I got and it was a good deal anyway (45 reduced from 95 for an 85 litre pack) but goes to show you don't need to spend hundreds on these bags as some of the 'known brands'.cost The pack I've just worn out and replaced was a cheap 85 litre one I think it cost me about 25 quid......got it in 2008 for traveling round Australia-Lasted me all year being thrown around in hostels, a couple of holidays since, and the last 2 glastonburys and has only now had enough... Why give £150+ to berghaus etc when you don't really need to haha Yup, I've bought one as well.(navy). I suspect it wouldn't be great for a walking holiday or serious backpacking but I only need it from car to tent at festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 If you have a home bargains near you they are great for low cost generic brand medicines that cost WAY less than branded equivalents. Haven't used a chemist or supermarket in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynseyDiva Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I've just ordered this bad boy from Decathlon. We'll see what it's like when it arrives! Obviously as it's a rain jacket I won't need it but can never be too organised... http://www.decathlon.co.uk/rain-cut-womans-turquoise-id_8302368.html Edited June 2, 2015 by LynseyDiva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VisionOfLove Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Almost done now just need a few last minute bits. Getting the coach so going for a self inflating roll mat do these just roll up like a normal roll mat so i can attach it to my rucksack and save carrying? Need a good cheap backpack and raincoat as well, as the ones I took last year weren't the best! Any recommendations for any of the above will be massively appreciated ?

Yeah I have my main rucksack for coming into the festival. Just after a practical bag to carry in the day for cans / warm clothes etc etc. Not that we will need warm clothes during the 5 day heat wave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern-Monkey Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Go Outdoors have upto 40% off some tents for 1 week (till midnight 9th June), mainly family sized but there's a decent "5 man" (big enough for 2/3 plus gear) for just £99 that has a 4 out of 5 rating.

Why give £150+ to berghaus etc when you don't really need to haha There is that and I normally buy cheap unbranded things, but we were given Berghaus rucksacks as wedding presents in 1986 before travelling for 18 months. Mine has since travelled with me all over the place, has also endured about 20 festivals and will be celebrating it's 29th year by being carried shoulder high by me to Glastonbury in three weeks time.

BA4 4BY Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 I mentioned this last year but for the benefit of anyone who hasn't seen it (and sorry if it's been mentioned this year already). The thin plastic tops you get on soft drink cups in junk food outlets and the pick 'n' mix cups in supermarkets will fit the paper cups that the Glasto bars serve drinks in. Handy for keeping your cider in your cup rather than pouring it in the mud grass as you walk around :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Placid Casual Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 We're warming to the idea of taking a trolley in. Has anyone got any good recommendations for one to take? I'd like a sturdy one for a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
