Phoenix Girl Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Feel a bit panicky reading this thread. Haven’t really done any actual planning yet, just obsessively read this forum. Do I need to start wearing my wellies round the house soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only thing I really need to buy this year really, boots in excellent condition and sleeping bag/bed etc. Looking at this for me and my brother. Crucial ground sheet which folds up at the entrance! https://www.decathlon.co.uk/arpenaz-family-42-id_8378238.html?_cclid=v3_01fe9e9a-32c1-52ba-bb83-ef31b2e12822&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIl6bouZv33QIVic13Ch1DWAIZEAQYASABEgIWcvD_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 A few more additions to the pyramid stage hat and ribbon tower ... just awaiting a few things to come through the post now and hoping for completion soon .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 New wellies reduced from Haskins ( so guaranteed sunshine). Also bought a new sleeping bag - so after 16 Glastonbury’s ( 1997 to 2017) and 3 Latitudes my old one is retiring! I never did like the mummy shape so have gone for a square end this time?

Rufus Gwertigan Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Got my exercise bike working. Well I say working I have got my fat arse on it. I had a stroke a number of years back and really struggle walking distances (and I weigh 20 odd stone) so really trying to feel the burn in time for June.

chuckles07 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Took delivery last week of my new festival shirt. Mrs C is not massively impressed, ‘no chance of losing you this year.......’ ? anyway I like it. It’s a football shirt but quite a different one. Clapton Community FC designed an away shirt to commeromate the Spanish Civil war and the Spanish Republic, and in particular the 2,500 men and women from the UK and Ireland who travelled to fight with the International Brigades, with more than 500 dying for the cause. They had massive demand and being a tiny community club were swamped. Apparantly they sold over 5000. Many to Spainish customers it’s a great story. I think the shirt is cool ? Btw it’s not me in the photo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ourkid1984 Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 It was yesterday but wore my walking boots to work (work at a school), went on a trip to a country park and helped the students build dens, make fires and cook over the fire. This is a 12 week course so should be fully ready to survive in the wild of Glastonbury by festival time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingmonkeypigs Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I’ve tried to squeeze the syllables of this topic title to fit the tune of Proud by Heather Small. Not sure how that’ll come in handy for Glastonbury but nonetheless... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
