Arriente Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I've got a couple of days off this week and am in a bit of Glasto preparation overdrive. Just wondered what you have done today to get yourself ready for the end of June? Today I have: Ordered a new air bed & pump Bought a blank white flag to create our campsite marker (not for the stages!!) Added some lighting to my pilot jacket (and bought some spare batteries) Replaced a crate of beer that was 'sampled' over the weekend. Started to pile everything into one place in tha garage . . . it already looks like too much I also intend to pump up the tires on my trolly and see if they stay up as not used it for a couple of years and don't want it letting me down on the day. Feels like I still have lots to do, but I love the build, its all part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyeatspeople Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Not much today, later this week I will start filtering the skittles/Wham vodka and we are constantly on the lookout for food/drinks on offer at the supermarkets. In particular Boxes of Cider or wine and need to get some Capri Suns! The best hangover cure for a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Splodge Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Away this week so we will be hunting for food bargains and beer of course:) Put the tent up last evening and fab sealed it (not that it's going to rain) sorted tent pegs and made sure we have enough and a few spares to help fellow campers if needed. Going to inflate air bed later to make sure still ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr gumby Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yesterday, I finished the canopy for the trolley our son will be travelling in. Today, I'll be getting some LED lights to make it easier to see in the dark. After that, I've just got food and drink to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_jojo_ Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Just ordered a micro sim adapter so I can use my sim in my cheapo festival phone and now I'm going to take all of the bits I bought from asda the other day out of their packaging because it looks and weighs far too much at the moment.

My birthday tomorrow so we are driving up from Torbay to get some cider from Rodger Wilkins cider farm, go to the Tor for a picnic and try to take some photos on the farm. Getting tow bar fitted to my Bongo on Thursday for our caravan for the festival. Cant wait. Edited May 21, 2013 by matthewsdad1968 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkismo Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Got a £5 off £40 quid spend at tesco along with a £5 clubcard voucher so that's where I'm heading for booze this weekend! Other than that all I've got is some new walking boots. Everything else is stashed in the cellar so I'll dig it out at the start of June.
