liamium Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 coaching it so limited to: 70cl each of home infused walnut/caramel vodka, cherry/vanilla rum, st clements gin we've got a rucksack each for the 2 of us, so 1 will be stuffed with both our clothes, the other loaded up with as many cans as we can carry, which is at the mo - 6 x 330ml blood orange wheat beer, 6 thatchers, 8 various 330ml craft beers. cans will probably last until friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally rethinking my packing strategy now If you have a proper camping rucksack with the straps on the front you'll be surprised at how much you can carry on your back. Just make sure the support is right on the front as well as the back and you'll be able to take much more than you thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Untz Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 I've gone back to thinking that taking along a £40 bottle of sipping rum is a good idea. It is not a good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think shots are perfect for festivals, gets you hammered, nice for sharing (I take lots of plastic shot glasses/limes/salt) also reduces trips to the long drops as you aren't actually drinking that much.

(between 2 of us) 20 cans lager = 8.8l 16 cans ale= 7.04l 20 cans cider = 8.8l 2 boxes red wine = 4.5l 5.75l coke/lemonade 1l vodka 70cl spiced rum 1l Pimms 3l infused vodka/gin 1l Kahlua 41.6 litres in total. Sure some of it will get passed round the group. This is similar quantities to what we bring lol Basically I have 2 big cooler bags and fill them to the brim.... I actually freeze my Capri Sun's, smoothies and water to cool the booze down, but as you can imagine the bags are very heavy!!! We have trolleys though so not too bad For 2 of us - 40+ cans of lager or beer - 1l Jack Daniels - Box of Rose wine - half bottle of rum - 20 Capri Sun - 12 smoothies - how ever many bottles of water fit in bag - 6 Mini bottles of coke - maybe some amaretto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sommersby has the nastiest aftertaste I've ever experienced. Most bars that serve Carlsberg on tap tend to have Sommersby as their only draught cider choice. We discovered Somersby in Budapest and it tastes completely different to here, it's much nicer abroad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
