I've never had any problems getting stuff in when I was younger...

however my friends got random searched last year, maybe they are getting tighter.

Just search the other identical threads that are set up every year asking the same question. All your answers will be in there. They may also be in the FAQ's thread.

At Leeds it's mainly cats walking around and not security so you're normally fine.

Right so for the previous two festivals i was 16 and 17... Firstly everyone drinks and it is almost as easy to get drink as it is food so that shouldn't be a problem.

So load up and take it in... BUT you mght be searched and have it taken off you... Last year i was and lost the lot (apart from a bottle in my sleeping bag which i hid from the searchers but that's a different story)

So do you know any 18 year olds... get them to take it in and in exchange carry something for them or give them a little money/ beer for the trouble

Secondly on the gate get someone much older to carry it through the gate... festival spirit you will almost certainly find someone... problem saved as they only search you once and just get your booze, give him/her their stuff back (which you are carrying as they cant carry everything) and go off on your way

Finally you just dont bother with that and chance it... 99% of people will get through without being searched... only 4 of 50 odd i knew did (all of my group) and none the year before

-------------------------------------------------------

So you lose your booze... fristly scrounge off your mates... chances are they will have taken too much and you can buy/steal/ share some with them

Secondly you could go buy somemore or get someone to buy some for you (i assume someone you know will be over 18 even if its just through school/collage) and its expensive but hey atleast you have booze.

The security were nice, had a good laugh

As for what booze to take their is a thread later in the year with the deals and stuff... but i would suggest a couple of liters of spirits and alot of Cider and Beers

Are there actually cats? My friend said she saw a cat walk past and I didn't believe her and she was on the verge of tears trying to convince me, oops

If you're gunna break the law, at least do ecstasy or cocaine...

I'd always be proper paranoid about getting my shit taken off me

[the wonderwhy]

If you're taking spirits put the bottle in a hollowed out baguette

[Hawky]

Haha no you're wrong sorry

[Com Truise]

Yeah big ones at that. I'm sure I saw a Tom and an Ali and at one point Tiger walked past. Boy, was I in awe.

[the wonderwhy]

I've never been right

What about 'the ganja'
