What have you done today to get ready for Glasto?

[craigyb31]

Ordered Wayfarer food for breakfast, bought more coffee sachets of coffee, lip balm,knife and forks and ordered phone charger thingey

Recently i purchased walking boots.After wearing them all week i decided to go for a long walk thinking they would be broken in, after 26 miles i realised they were not. They should be now though.

At the weekend i got camping stuff, new sleping bag, inflatable matteress and waterproofs.

Today I put a deposit down on a car (mine definetly wouldnt have made it to glasto and back) I can't have a repeat of a couple of years back when it took us 15 hours to get to Glastonbury after a breakdown, it should of taken 2 hours.

I bought myself a new rucksack to use during the day, for my tinnies, water, suntan lotion, alcohol gel, etc, etc. Not particularly exciting, but that's another thing off the list.

Foil emergency blankets to shield inner tent from the sun, hopefully long lie in the mornings.

Yes it has been covered quite extensively on this site. Have a look at this:

Bought a portable 12000mAh charger for my iPhone. Very reasonable price and should keep my phone going for the 5 days

Went on an all day pub crawl yesterday. Training for Glasto!

[Peroni]

Started the "pile"...

[moheetoes]

Looked for portable phone charger, haven't bought one yet....

[Anderson19]

I'm after one to interested to see how the one above from eBay performs? I've brought several cheap ones over the years and they don't work at all well.

A few people have posted links to amazon ones in the £30 range which I think is a bit pricey, I'm not even to bothered about using my phone I like to use it as a camera though.

^{Re the chargers I think I'll get one of the EE ones. Looks like a great idea.}

Bought a new sleeping bag. The Glasto pile is growing!

[Amii]

Created a Glastonbury 2014 playlist, bought a new camera memory card and battery, and begun practising for my first attempt at a video diary.

[markrkp]

Oh, and I also bought a new water bottle and a clear wallet. Okay, so not the most exciting buys in the world, but getting them bit by bit saves a mad shopping expedition at the last minute.

[markrkp]

Not sure why my last post was a quote! sorry 'bout that.

I have tried out my Jack-In-A-Pack on a 5 min walk in a torrential downpour, and have discovered that while it is indeed waterproof, the fact that it's only hip-legnth means that I end up with a very soggy bottom. Obviously nobody wants that. So I am now on the hunt for a raincoat that covers my bum.

Today I bought 10 cans each of strongbow dark fruits and citrus edge for £16 from morrisons. They're safely tucked away at the back of the out house away from temptation. I think this was the best deal I was going to get on these cans so that's why I got them now. I'm going to wait for the World Cup to start to get my beer. I made a list of all the booze offers that took my fancy on www.mysermarket.co.uk so I have a rough idea of what I'm after.

Dug all my camping stuff out of the cupboards to see what I need to buy. How long does dry shampoo last btw I have enough for another festival but I might just buy a fresh can. I need some more sun cream but other than that Ive done quite well to keep everything together, so all that's gone into a pile. One thing I have lost is my cool bag/ bag for life thing. I think it was was Aldi, it was like a bag for life/fabric bag but had a zip on the top and had a kind of silver foil lining to keep things cold. I stuck all my booze it last year and put it on the bottom of my trolley and it worked well then iv just kept all my cans in there.I've had a search put can't see any online. I may have to ask the mother where she got it from.

But anyway all that stuff is now in pile upstairs and I've just raided the millets sale. Got an air bed for £6, berghaus 1/4 zip fleece, Peter Storm overhead kag in a bag, a 30 lumens torch and some energy tablets and bottle for £62. Can't wait for it all to come. Now it's just the rest of my booze, food and first aid stuff and I'm good to go.

Renamed my packing list spreadsheet from last year, with "2014". And edited a couple of bits on it.

[kaytee...]

Got most of my camping stuff out of storage and started a pile of stuff to pack - 6 weeks early might be a bit excessive though.

Also wrote an extensive things to pack list to go with an ever growing alcohol checklist

I went to a country show today, So dusted of my hunters and rain coat as the weather looked it could go either way.... Walked around a massive field following my Auntie and Mum while carrying Mums "portable" chair.... I think a park bench is more portable that the one Mum brought. (she can't walk to far these days hence the chair)

Brought a fleece style jumper and some gas can for the camping stove...... I realised how unfit I am and need to build up my stamina....

[frostypaw]

They're called wellies. Hunters is a fairly average brand
