Harribo's sports mix were an absolute essential in giving me some sense of normality. The food I ate needed more than seasoning. I had a go of that hippy crack shit (never touched it before or since) and that tasted nicer than most of the food I ate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sophlamb Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Anyone got any input on portable phone chargers vs spare batteries? I have the Samsung S4 so thinking I might buy a couple of spares and take them with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some are fine, many last half a day. 2 spare batteries still probably won't last the festival even if they were Samsung ones, but would probably cost more than a charger. Only advantage of spare batteries is that if you're worried that you won't remember to charge your phone overnight, or don't want to carry the charger around with you during the day, then spare batteries are obviously a lot quicker to swap out.

scaryclaireyfairy Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I just use a small across-the-body bag for cash, phone, tissues and whatever. I clip the zip to the ring that holds the strap with a fiddly carabiner thing and at night I wear it short so it sits tight against me under my hoody. Cans, waterproofs, binbags and assorted crap goes in the easily stealable-from flimsy daypack on my back. I'm pretty sure I've had that rifled at least once but it's like a mini version of my tent in there. A valueless midden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily carried a fleece, kagool, big bottle of water, camera, purse, phone, wipes, sunglasses, keys and other (smallish) stuff that I can't remember. Lots of pockets - handy as long as you remember what you've put in which one! Main part of the bag is completely secure as the zip is against the body. Really comfy to carry too - the strap is padded and seems to be non-slip. At 60 quid it's a bit expensive but if you happen to know someone (or could PM someone ) who has bought one before you can get it in this somewhat strange green/yellow colour for 30 - lots of other colours if you're prepared to pay full-price. Edited March 20, 2016 by mandolin Thought the website would come up when I posted the picture. If you're happy to pay full price you can get it from Healthy Back Bags, though I think Amazon have some too. Don't forget to go through this site if buying from Amazon. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
