MartinK Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 So this year I'm going solo on the coach and therefore no trolley full of beer/cider/wine At the minute I'll have a 65 or 85 litre ruck sack, a 2-man tent and a smallish day bag as that's all I can take onto the coach How the hell do I take a couple of crates with me as well. I'm thinking another ruck sack to carry on my front but reckon I could only get 20 odd cans in there. Any other ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Clothes<Beer 65 litre bag should be plenty to get cans in. Just prey your bag doesn't get thrown about too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 strap/tape the tent to your rucksack. fit as many cans as possible into the free space in your rucksack. daybag on your side/front/attached to the rucksack. carry a crate in your hands. probably easier to just carry a crate and take spirits in your bag.

Chipbarm Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Going off what I read in another post once you are set up you could always get on a shuttle bus to Glastonbury town and get booze from the supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used the pre-order service at Bestival last year and it was great. With a few upgrades (more choice, easier access at certain times) it would be incredible. As discussed previously on these forums. Its unlikely a festival of Glastonbury's size could cope with the logistics though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaytee... Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 I got 2 boxes of thatchers on the coach last year in a big ikea bag with my sleeping bag and other stuff on top. That with my rucksack and a smaller backpack to take on with me with my spirits in. As long as you're not taking the piss with a big trolley full you'll be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're not taking the piss with a big trolley full you'll be fine Think that's the way to do it, if it looks like a normal bag of camping gear and not just a bag of beer then people (coach drivers) are more likely to let you get it onboard. Think I'll use this method to get my beer on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Ditch the pillow, ditch the extra blankets, ditch the torch, ditch the spare shoes, ditch the extra undies, ditch the jeans, ditch the food (if you can afford to buy food on site) ditch EVERYTHING that might compromise your alcohol carrying capacity. Aside from the obvious - which should be neatly stored up your jacksie - alcohol is by far and away the most precious import. Do whatever it takes to squeeze in an extra can/bottle of spirits.

Bonaneas Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 The answer is spirits & mixers in pre mixed plastic bottles. Beer is fairly priced on site but double spirits can rack up over the 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untz Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 If you're coming by coach and have limited alcohol space, why would you waste it by bringing mixers (pre-mixed or otherwise)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richy24 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 A crate in your rucksack, a crate in your hands. The rest spirits! Buy mixer onsite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
