Charm x I'll have to drag it from coach drop-off/PGA to Darble, so I hope it will last the journey. Wont need it on the way back, so I can throw it away if it's damaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't let us influence you, but you can buy bottled water all over the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the size of bottle, and don't want to be overly ripped off. I will drink over 2L of water in a day and don't want to be visiting a tap often. Any advice is taken on board.

Gnomicide Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 On the coach so current thinking is 2 boxes of red wine and buy cider from the bars while there. Getting better at packing less now though and a super hero is taking in my tent so may be able to squeeze in a few cans too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandana Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I think we will be taking a bit less this year, sloe gin or spiced rum 1liter, with bitter lemon, (but might be able to get lemonade onsite) and maybe 8 stubby cans of IPA. Usually have a box of red too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilfko Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Pro tip. To save space in your designated drivers car, drink as much of your alcohol as possible just before you leave to make your way down to the farm, this will free up previous boot space for more alcohol.

Untz Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Between two of us: 24 cans of beer (12l), 2 boxes of Westons (6l) and 2 litres of vodka. I am thinking this is both too much and not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Not sure yet, need to settle on some beer but I know depressingly it will probably end up as a slab of fosters/carling. Spirt wise we've still got a shit load in plastic bottles from last year. It was a bit weird but somehow due to the weather we didn't drink as much so ended up with loads left. The year before in 2015 we took the same amount and ran out with about 2 days to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil_d Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Roughly: 600ml malibu 600ml Baileys / Kahlua / (maybe Rum) mix 3 or 4 cans of cider picked up in Glastonbury the day before Travel quite light, so buy more cider from the bars.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I was just going to bring loads of gin and slimline tonic this year. However, on reflection I realized that I'd need to be bringing an unholy amount of tonic, which would really weigh me down on the journey from the car to the camp site. So, I have come up with a cunning plan. I am going to buy a single bottle of vodka, gin, tequila, rum, and triple sec, and mix them all together in plastic bottles. I will also be bringing some sour mix and Coca Cola, which I will mix in to the mixed spirit bottles as needed while on site. Yes, I'm going for gold on the Long Island Iced Tea front. A drink that you really can appreciate early morning, noon and night time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 On the coach and going as light as possible: 1.5ltr homemade raspberry gin 1ltr homemade chocolate gin 1ltr port (nighttime belly warmer) Planning to do a thurs morning booze run to glastonbury supermarket for lager.

Keithy Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Re: bringing bottled water. Completely unneccesary extra weight. There is mains water standpipes all over the site. Bring an empty bottle and fill up as you walk round. Re: ikea bags. Never survive. Very few things survive being dragged at Glastonbury. Plus it will be an absolute ball ache dragging it around no matter how light. Ikea bags are very strong for taking ikea products from the shop to the boot of your car.

I think it will be ok I'm also finding it difficult to accept your IKEA bag idea as a good one, even if it's only got light stuff in it. Essentially the bag is made of strong, but thin, plastic, and you are going to have a long journey dragging it to your camp site. Mind you, you might feel that it gets easier as you walk along ie. as the newly created hole at the bottom of your bag shits out your belongings.
