D-Low Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Stressed about getting the time off work if that counts. Our leave isn't out yet and normally June is a safe month with most people wanting leave later in the year for school holidays etc but overheard someone mention it to my boss that she needs most of June off for a wedding. Then another person say "oh yes I need a week off in June as well". They better not all be getting pencilled-in in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabi_says Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Booked flights AMS-BRS -AMS and sent out a leave request. This weekend I'll go to Decathlon and try one of these, see if they're as good as they seem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbrass Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Just bought a second hand ex Army tent. It's big (8m x 6m) but there will be ~12 friends staying in it (so takes up less space than 6 separate tents). Its blacked out so you can get some kip in the morning. Will need to get one of those trollies above to wheel it in! Since there won't be any mud next year that will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clearest Blue Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I had the annual leave discussion with the boss, I'm allowed the Monday off, but I have to work the Tuesday, that's the earliest I'll ever have had to go back to work, although we have a agreed I can work from home on the Tuesday. I'm hoping it wont be too brutal as my recovery time has shortened by a day each year roughly. 2014 took about a week recovery, 2015 was about four days, same with 2016 and last year after three days I was mostly fine.

Well I hope to be in early. Worst case is Back House or Rig's Field which from Glastomap (taken Fri or later since Pyramid had a crowd) still had space to put a big tent even when everything else was full.
