TheFullShaboo Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Just set up the tent we managed to get for £120 off Facebook marketplace - it’s still retailing for £350 brand new - and it’s a beauty. 79 days to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alframsey Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Paid my balance and started putting together a list of what I will need, now it is time to start getting myself into gear. Not even been thinking about it until today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Bought a self-inflating mat from Lidl. I've used my daughter's in the past but she wants to use it this year as she's coming - the cheek of it! Checked out what cans they sell in there but haven't decided how I'm transporting booze yet as we're going by coach. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have thought the coop is going to be a popular option for booze amongst coach travellers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModernMan Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Anyone else checked their balance payment email, bank transactions and see tickets order tracker several times in the last 24 hours *just to make sure*? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant! Why didn't I think of that? I assume it will be pricier onsite but don't mind much if makes life easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDayman Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Properly started working out how we plan to get there today (by air or by sea). Its either fly in to Bristol and get the National Express to the festival or sail to Fishguard and drive. On that, are any routes to the festival by car better than others? We’ve got a hotel provisionally booked in Bristol but could just as easily stay in Taunton or Yeovill if the traffic to the festival is better from the south?

That said, another 2 drove and took our tent so we didn’t have to bring it on the plane. There’s 6 of us this year though and it’s the getting the tents on to the plane that we’re trying to work out.

Can you not just check in the tent and chip in the cost between ya. Either one or two tents between 6 of you? Keep the weight under I think around 15-20kg.

We’ve all got 2/3 person tents from going to various other festivals over the years so we’d really have to buy another one or two large tents (which we don’t really want to do as it’s pretty wasteful) or carry across 3 or 4 of our own tents. We don’t mind paying extra for luggage on the plane but we’re also thinking that there’s a lot more freedom driving across. One big plus would be being able to bring a trolley with us which we’d probably have to forfeit if we fly and then get the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot more freedom with a car but i would fancy driving meself when I was feeling ropey as fuck after 5 days. Although a night booked in Bristol would be just the tonic. Love staying the night there, getting a nice long shower then some grub down by the waterfront in the sunshine. First proper glass with some chilled wine. Magic.

Hopefully the glorious June weather will mean it's too hot to wear it anyway! And it'll be far less easy to tie round my waist than a stack of hoodies. Much as I love the ostentatiousness of it, I think maybe tomorrow I'll be preparing for Glastonbury 2019 by returning it! I’d fucking totally wear that. If my 3 year old daughter is dressing up as either Iron Man or a fairy I want a fluffy coat thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Got my 20 year old festival shorts stitched up and and the pocket repaired. I thought they were for the bin but they can work magic these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb4747 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 We purchased our tent, camp stove and kettle, self inflating mattress and some other bits over the weekend. Got me all excited it did! Also grabbed a bargain pair of sick walking boots very very happy with them after years of welly-wearing on dog walks and festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocksey Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Put up the tent, 1- to make sure its still okay, not moudly/no holes and 2 - to make sure i remember how it goes up (it was a new tent on the last outing) good news is its all fine, but a bit bigger than i recalled. need to make sure we find a space big enough.
