Tuna Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Transport sorted. Think that's every financial commitment sorted, bar food and drink. Assuming there's not a hole in my tent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay89 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Looking for a way to strap my air bed/sleeping bag to my backpack, as it’s so bulky it won’t fit inside after I’d pack everything else. Anyone heard of straps you can get for the job? I’m not even sure such a thing exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balti-pie Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Had a listen to Billie Eilish and Lewis Capaldi, in order to have a bash at whatever’s new and down with the kids. Both absolutely dreadful, but at least now I know ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely better than nylon strap with plastic buckle. Now, to find one small enough not to look like I’ve just pulled it off the lorry in Calais ?

Fanbloodytastic Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Randomly picked up a box of plasters and a few packs of wet wipes in Sainsburys today and they gave me that moment of ‘it’s actually happening!’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were for the bin but they can work magic these days. Not that old, but repaired my festi cargo shorts last year with a lovely botch job. Once you get a comfy pair you don't wanna let go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Climbed a mountain as part of a fitness regime*, only a little mountain but a mountain all the same, actually it may have been a hill, I don't know what the cut off is. Anyway, I didn't look back until I got to the top.** *Walking a bit to get fit for the big G. **I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 2000ft you can say it was a mountain ?️ Did you have a can when you reached the summit like one would at the Glastonbury Sign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambooShanks Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 spent most of my time in work looking at hiking boots. I've decided that it isn't going to be as muddy as 2016 so will be able to get by with hiking boots (and trainers if it is gloriously dry, which it will be).

We had just walking boots in 2016 and it was glorious! So much easier than wellies. I don't know if we just had good boots/got lucky or what but i remember us both being quite annoyingly smug.

I don't understand my aversion to walking boots since a) I hate wellies and b) all of my trainers are high tops so I'm already half way there. Hopefully I'll spot a decent pair for under £50!

Mr.Tease Posted April 9, 2019 Report Share Posted April 9, 2019 Tested out my new tent- surprised at how easy it is to put tents away normally (and get them in the tent bag), but on the Monday after Glastonbury, it's like some sort of mind messing round of the Krypton Factor that I struggle to complete!
