Got a mate who can lend me two, one for me and one for my wife, he’s a DOE leader. Will check them out before I decide if I need to buy. Seeing the tents, sleeping bags etc in Go Outdoors does get the adrenaline pumping for the festival ! Yeah, I could spend a bloody fortune in there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got new air beds, decided on 2 singles so during the day put on on top of the other thus in theory giving us more room to get dressed, stand up etc. Eyed up a new tent as well. Met another glasto goer wandering about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big week for me. On Tuesday I'll be booking my flights from Melbourne. Today, I've looked again at my budget to make doubly sure this isn't a suicide mission, financially. Turns out I'll just suffer some severe head wounds so that's OK. Booked mine from Auckland last week, booked therapy this week. Prices are creeping up every week now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charm Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Bought too much pressed glitter from glittereyes, their stuff is great as you don’t need glue and it comes off easily. Charm x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a wonderful 3/4 length purple velvet jacket which goes to every festival with me but is just too warm to wear during the day, this seems like a suitable compromise. For anyone who isn't already aware, the Wish app is absolutely amazing for Chinese 'fashion' bargains. Just remember to order 3 sizes larger than usual and you're pretty much good to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Flights booked! Whoop! Now it’s starting to feel real. There’s always a tiny glimmer of ‘WTF are you doing dropping $2k on flights to a music festival’ but it’s combined with a visit to see family and quickly vanishes anyway when I remind myself of what I’m in for. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazypinkminx Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Whilst listening to Prodigy tunes I'm looking online for little bits to take as I have the bulk already, maybe a new outfit. I have every camping item possible! Got 2 newbies coming this year , any items for them probably. Like blister plasters lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got this last week, you can’t stand up in it but I think it will be quite roomy for 2, I had to replace my stand up tent as it’s too heavy and I will be carrying it on my own this year as Mr Charm has poorly legs.

Andeeroo Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Coach booked. Will get me there at 5:30am on the Wednesday. Paid a little bit extra to get the amendable/refundable option as, depending on the weather, I may not want to be queuing for 2.5 hours! Return leaves 9am on Monday so I can have a little bit of a lie in this year. Bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tent for 2 people ideally one can stand up in but not too hard putting up - hopefully not askin too much! ? I can't recommend this tent enough, it's fantastic. It has a reflective coating inside the oversheet which greatly reduces the sunlight from penetrating so it stays cooler and darker far longer than any other tent I've owned over the last 15 years. I've had this one at 3 festivals so I can say this with experience - it buys you an extra couple of hours of sleep in the morning which makes it worth its weight in gold. Really sturdy too and has a door on either side which is perfect for quickly airing the tent out. And it's only £45. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/arpenaz-3-freshblack-tent-3-man-id_8357355.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A degree of caution with electronics from Wish, they can be quite flimsy, and as such, dangerous. I've seen those mad specs for power banks too, 690,000mAh would power a small car! Something tells me they may be overstating their capacity a "small" bit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last turned on 27 June 2017! Still works great and back in the drawer ready for 2019. I'd better dig out the glastoels second phone number for 2019! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
