I may be jumping the gun I've checked the maps and the train timetables already too! I've also found myself going through in my head what shoes and clothes to take! Like you, I think I may be a little in front of myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if my boss realised I watched a 20 minute youtube video of entering the campervan campsite - whilst at my desk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyonks Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Seeing as I didn't get tickets this year, bought EOTR tickets instead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madyaker Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Lost the bag for my tent at a festival this summer while out of it. Right pain in the arse and it doesn't seem like it can get a replacement so I've been doing research on new tents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you find the same one on ebay second hand cheaply? Or just buy a sports bag or something the right size to put it in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He found Glasto too much for him so goes for EOTR instead so I think you may be very happy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMF Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 You can get tent bags, possibly not for a pop up. Vango, Eurohike and a company called Tent Spares, all are available on that big internet store but are probably available elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I’ve been looking for some decent boots, my old pair failed me last time when the sole came off and I ended up with a very hurty ankle, thinking that Dr Martens might be a good choice as proper walking boots would be a waste as I would only use them for Glastonbury.

Mr.Tease Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 I continued my tent research (my usual tent it on the cusp of failing), and discovered I have been sleeping in my tent the wrong way round my whole life! All the pictures illustrating the number of people who are meant to fit in the tent, show the persons head goes near the entrance, where as I always assumed that if you're on a slight slope, you ensure the entrance is at the bottom of the slope (so rain/puddles/streams wouldn't flow into the tent when you open the door, and then you sleep with your head at the top of the slope, and meaning your feet are then at the the tent entrance. I refuse to believe I am wrong on this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
