What have you done to get ready for Glastonbury 2015?

[LadyP]

Why is a westerly approach preferred? Out of interest.

We tend to camp that side, usually dairy, or in bushy last year so always head for gate D, makes for less of a trek across site. Makes it easier to meet friends arriving off coaches as well. One of these years we should probably have a change, but I think I'd miss my late night stroll home through Silver Hayes, I'm a creature of habit!

I bought a tent off Ebay 3 days ago, getting bit worried because I've had no communication, they ain't selected the dispatch option yet, so I've message them 3 times, but no reply

[LondonTom]

Looked at Coach prices and saw National express have gone up by 14 quid since last time for the same time journeys >_<

Purchased some babywipes from aldi. About as luxurious as my spending is going to get over the next 4 weeks

@Londontom, some of the fares have gone down as well (annoyingly, I could have got there and back for half what I paid a few weeks back when I chose the cheapest fares available).

Dont worry too much yet mate,

Did they have a good feedback?

Are they in this country?

What date does the estimate say on your puchase details?

Have a little look at all that and fingers crossed for you there,s something simple like they are on holidays or something silly like that,

I run an ebay shop so if you need any help feel free to PM me and i,ll try and help you out if needed.

Good luck dude.

Just had a look again, they had 145 feedback, then noticed that they are part of a camping company, so typed it in google and got there number, just gave them a ring, and all sounds good, they will be dispatching soon, feeling better now, Im guessing they are busy with it being a shop, it also said it closed Wednesday on there website, so all good, i can relax now, thanks for your reply anyway.

Been supermarket shopping online ... for delivery Tuesday lunchtime, 30th June

[Mr November]

Started getting my ales together. Hope they make it as far as the festival....

[sheffieldlady]

The supermarket shopping is a great idea... why have I never ever thought to do that?!? I am going to write a list over the weekend and go Aldi, Poundland etc for wipes, camping items, dry shampoo and some much needed alcohol!

[sheffieldlady]

How many are you planning on taking?

[mrfunk]

Still ummin and rrrring about which walking boots to purchase - karrimors look decent

Avoid the karrimors, they either leak or are sweaty as feck

[Mr November]

How many are you planning on taking?

Not sure yet. The shop I just bought these from said they might be able to arrange a case of one that I particularly like. I reckon 15-18 tops. I really don't drink that much and will be topping up with a few cold pints on site.

Good stuff mate glad your sorted,

Can be a nightmare sometimes the e to the bay, always go with uk and a good feedback for security and you can get some good deals with no hastle,

Its odd for sure! Maybe they think all Londoners have more disposable income the rest of the country =p

[TheBurns]

One of the brewers from ska was over in Dublin a few months back launching modus, got to drink the stuff for free all night, seriously tasty!

How you'll be able to hold onto a nice selection like that for a month is beyond me though

[CJTM]

Drinking 'training' starts now, off to Wembley in a 'few' hours...am I allowed to say who I support

[kalifire]

Got paid! Crunched the numbers and got a credit card as well (I know, I know), just to be on the safe side (don't want a repeat of last year when I ran out of money on Sunday morning).

Taxi to the Show Ground paid for, Downmat sleeping mat purchased, and tarp hat ordered.

That's it now, for me. Currently just 19 days until I step on a plane to the promised land.

[ChrisTGA]

Bought a new rucksack, need to get a move on and buy some other stuff pronto.

[bamber]

[swede]

Started he ritual last night of pre-rolling all my glasto ciggies. 2 down, 48 to go (not all for me, the wife and a few friends I bump into get to share the spoils)

[Krazypinkminx]

How are the trains instead of driving down? its about the same cost , can we take a sack truck?

[A Guy Called Matt]

All packed apart from clothes - as it is going to a friends next weekend who will be driving it in for us.

Feels daft early to do it all, inc all beer, food etc but done it is!!

Same here, motherfuckers have gone from £60 to £74 return.

[davidd]

Re National Express coaches; if you book 4 seats you get 25% off. Found this out when i booked ours about 6 weeks ago or so and assumed there was some sort of glitch and said fuck all initially as i thought i'd get collared eventually.

[Spindles]

I can't speak for the train to Castle Cary, but on an intercity I've seen plenty of people stood by the bogs with a loaded sack truck on their way to festivals plenty of times. It's certainly no problem if you are going to Reading.

Caveat: It's only going to be ok if everyone doesn't have the same idea. Much like everything else at the festival.
