- Spend more time in the Park & West Holts regardless of who is playing

- Invest in some sort of proper waterproof. Mine was absolutely useless on Friday

- Avoid being guilt tripped into going to Shangri La

@St.A.to.Z- Don't forget to tell your friends to piss off when they try to guilt trip you into going to Shangri La

Recommendation - use Boots Soltan Once instead.  Cheaper than P20, 5* UVA rating and effective as hell.  I burn quite easily without cream, and I survived the whole week with nary a red mark upon me.

 

For myself:

 

Take less booze.  I don't really need to drink during the day except for the occasional cold pint, so no point lugging it all in.  I drank it all, but only because it was there.  However...

Get utterly Gillespied one night.  Always stoned, never properly drunk.

Talk more to random people.

Get more involved in crowds when on my own.  Missed a couple of crowd surfing opportunities because I was loitering at the edge.

Make it to the eFests meet.  Didn't go this year as I'd only just joined the board, but looking forward to it next year.

Bit more time in Green Fields.  This year's (achieved) target was the circus and cabaret fields, next year is green.

Make it to the Rabbit Hole, Secret Piano Bar and Glasto Latino.

Get to Strummerville before 2am on Sunday.

Not lose my phone!

@Quark - Don't forget to head to the Green Fields (though don't leave your phone there)

Go again on my own.....had a fantastic time with no one moaning.

 

Not take a camp bed,too bloody heavy to carry.

 

Volunteer again for the recycling team.

 

eat more cake from Lyndas Loaves.

@milly16 - Don't forget to eat more cake and, if you've arranged to go with anyone, don't forget to accidentally lose their ticket.

@kellly - Don't forget to bring less stuff and spend some time stalking Eavis

You legend! I am bringing less stuff as I'm going by coach so check that one.

 

Coaches are gate A I think? So check that one

 

So all of my positive energy and motivation is going into stalking Eavis :)

Very good @budvar!  My list includes:

Rabbit Hole - I visited last time but not properly

Strummerville

Fewer clothes

Less "names" more new bands

More wandering

Crow's Nest

More time at the Park

and at Avalon

and at Acoustic

I loved the Cabaret stuff and Circus when I visited but hope to find more time to spend there

Somehow manage to extend every hour to two hours to fit everything in!

No problem at all! Really appreciate your kind reminders to everyone :) , I definitely would have forgotten the bloody insoles too!
