Username taken Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Booked my flights! Decided to go out of Dublin, rather than my native Belfast due to the shit show that is Belfast International Airport (also Dublin is cheaper). Bought a huge backpack last night in Decathlon, as I want all my stuff (tent included) to be in one pack - last time I was carrying a backpack, tent, sleeping bag and roll mat all separate and it was a pain in the hoop. Feeling pretty ready for June now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 well ive had a restart date through for my old job .... looks like im back at work at the end of the week ( not what I was hoping to do but never mind ) it will give me some time to mull over what my next moves are though . It obviously will help the finances too and help pay for the ticket in April . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thinking of getting in early on the standard footwear connundrum. Finally got some black Chukka Nellie Timberlands that actually fit me (took a while...long story). They're amazing. Like wearing clouds on my feet, allegedly 100% waterproof and sexy AF. Win. https://www.timberland.co.uk/shop/en/tbl-uk/nellie-chukka-for-women-in-black-a1r2m001 The perfect Glasto shoe, except....I don't want to ruin them! Saw a grey pair for £50 on eBay that the seller claims were only wore a few times last winter. Wondering if it's worth taking a punt on those ....can't return than though obvs. Kinda tired of having my legs encased in wellies every festival though and would be good to get it sorted out now!

I splashed out on a pair of these last year https://www.muckbootcompany.co.uk/products/mens-chore-cool-tall-boots-brown Yes they are the same height as wellies but much more comfortable and are more breathable so your feet/legs don't get as warm as they are the chore cools ones but the unfortunate thing is it appears they are discontinued. That said have heard good things about muck boots in general. I haven't done a Glastonbury with them yet but have had some walks in them and as I say very comfy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sexy obviously. I've been to so many festivals now that Wellies have become the epitome of sexy footwear But obviously as 2019 is going to be scorcher, maybe not so practical...

Ayrshire Chris Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 3 nights booked in Glastonbury town, Sunday to Tuesday before heading for the festival.

The were a godsend in 2016. I took them in 2017 but they stayed in the car boot thankfully. I'll be making room for them again. Really comfortable, as well as coping with all conditions of mud n gloop they have excellent grip and don't come off easily in the sticky stuff. Highly recommended muck boots. The Mrs has a pair of the ankle boot types. She loves hers too and also survived 2016 in them. Pair with some 'thousand mile socks' for ultimate comfort and no blisters guaranteed.

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I watched the Netflix Fyre Festival documentary. What a clusterfuck of a situation run by a deluded, egotistical conman. Every second made me grateful for the Eavis family and the rest of GFL. The "take one for the team" story is unbelievable, well worth a watch although you'll be disappointed if you just want to see 90 minutes of over-privileged Instagram influencers suffering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic I washed my sleeping bag yesterday. Had to do it twice as not been used since 2016 and was smelling pretty stale! Gonna put my tent up to air in the next few weeks - not been used in a couple of years dread to think what state it's in.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillhouse188 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Went DM shopping with the missus today, I have a pair of brown leather-y ones and debating whether they’ll do the job to avoid having to buy/pack wellies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Today I decided to remove the faded 2017 glasto parking sticker from the car window. Possibly going to change cars soon and can’t see advertising the fact that the car had survived the fields of Glastonbury as helping trade in value. There is still mud in the boot space from 2016. A bit of advice, those stickers aren’t meant to be left on for a long time, took ages to scrape it off, even soaked it in WD40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt quite sad taking it off! It will be a worthy view car pass this year. I even have to admit having a Coldplay flashing wristband in the glove box.

I'm hoping to have a newer car by the time I next drive to Worthy Farm (getting a lift off someone in a campervan this year), I'm leaving it the presets just to confuse the next owner.

The 2016 one does not want to come off! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
