Beerqueen Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 I established that my daughter doesn't mind sharing a tent with me so we only have to take one with us. I checked our rucksacks to try to establish whether I need to order the 85l one from Blacks on the other thread. We have four rucksacks but none are marked with their size so may have to visit Blacks to see what an 85l one looks like. The ones that we have have been fine in the past but.... Well a bargain's a bargain... Tweeted the co-op to ask if they'll be selling beer. They can't say yet. Wondered whether it's too soon to find my packing list.

Camping with a broken arm is bullshit though: Glasto should be a piece of piss after this! ?. this was tonight’s sunset over Arran. The hills formation is known locally as the sleeping warrior. If you look carefully they give that impression. I still think however that it will be bloody cold camping out over there tonight! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedh Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Bought a water container for the tent. Bought a hard sided one as the fold up type are a challenge for my daughter to pick up and operate as they have a mind of their own when filled with water. 2016's solar lights are in the garden now, so bought new ones to mark up the tent. They will join previous ones in the back garden afterward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought what’s meant to be solar powered fairy lights for the same reason and it turned out to be battery ones. suppose if I wrap it up in carrier bag it should get wet and stop working.

Stick them in a sandwich bag, fold over the top and tie them on to the tent with string. You can get to the switch through the bag normally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 purchased this which I'm hopping to attach to my rucksack .... not sure how well a flashing disco ball will work ... if it doesn't work on that it will stay at the tent https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07CSPPXJY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3QDNQS5TGDYWI&psc=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 Just now, Ayrshire Chris said: We need updates on the ongoing co-op beer and cider situation. My guess would be that they will sell alcohol ... based on absolutely no info at all ... I think the alcohol sales at coop will just minimise what people take on site and not make a significant impact on bar sales ... that’s my take on it ... as that’s what i will be doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sold alcohol at Leeds last year. Mostly carlsberg/somersby with it being the bar sponsor. But they also had brookyln lager too, coop wine and spirit mixer cans. Alcohol was basically half of the shop's stock. So depending who the main beer provider is at Glasto i'm guessing they'd have to stock that ??♀️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMorgz92 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Aired my tent out over the weekend, solar lights out in the garden charging up/testing, bought my new sleeping bag and rucksack (the 65L from Blacks!) ... going on a camping trip this weekend as prep I say all this, but I'm still awaiting the resale to find out if I'm even going! #alwaysbeprepared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
