Sorry if this has already been covered, but Poundland now have online shopping if you're not near to one, and have a bunch of camping stuff in stock: http://www.poundland.co.uk/summer/camping

I still have some of my poundland purchases from last year and they've all lasted well!

Just bought myself a couple of the those aluminium bottles for carrying in my spirits, a ground sheet and a pack of two plastic ponchos (not that we will need them).

I was going to say the same thing... just need a little plastic bag to carry it round in and you are sorted. Complete bargain

For anyone thinking of getting one, the 2 wheel trolley is great. Used it for the last 3 years for numerous festivals.

I second that. Have had one for a few years now. Folds down great and can carry a surprising amount with bungees. Handles rough hard ground and mud without any problems

Good to hear. I bought one recently and will be giving it a run out at Bearded Theory in a couple of weeks.

One slight word of warning though for anyone buying one, make sure you pump up the tyres when it arrives. There was a faulty valve on one of the wheels on mine and I had to contact the company. They were brilliant and sent out a whole new wheel without me having to return the other one but just saying don't leave it until the night before you go before checking them.

One year at Glastonbury we went down on the Tuesday night and slept in the cars. Wednesday morning, we get up and start loading up trolleys, one of the people with us had a new wheelbarrow. She took it out the car, still in the box, not even unsealed it. Of course the tyre was flat as a pancake, she hadn't even thought about that and no-one had a pump. 

It was not an easy trip in.

i'm an avid fan of Hot UK Deals and today this popped up...

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/portable-camping-stove-4-99-what-stores-caerphilly-2450215

Portable camping stove £4.99 @ What! Stores (Caerphilly)

Admittedly it's only in Wales in a shop I've never heard of and no one knows if it's a national or store specific deal. Either way, great price for a camping stove!
