c8lin Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Today I bought an inflatable pillow! 2017 Glastonbury destroyed my back, foolishly I still thought I could use my spare clothes as a make shift pillow just like Leeds fest 2009 - 2012. Turns out that's only okay when you're 17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out that's only okay when you're 17. My one luxury, I bring the pillow from my own bed. An experienced camper once told me that it’s the best way to acclimatise yourself to sleeping in a tent. Having said that it’s quite big to carry so might go inflatable this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourkid1984 Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I went through the Silver Hayes line up and added acts I'd be interested in seeing to my playlist and got a new tent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Went up in the loft to check equipment and found a new self inflating mat i’d forgotten i’d bought for last time plus a new water carrier and some other stuff. Just need to air tents ( gonna be a lovely Easter weekend) and sort the solar lights now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sime Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Just popped over the train station from my office and bought my train tickets. Open return £37.50 any time of day travel from Southampton. That's not bad. I always pay the extra bit of money so that I can travel home very early Monday morning (I've seen people refused entry to the station for only having off peak tickets before). It's getting closer...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx The little bottles of wine were about 2 quid and they had 10 packs of gordons and captain morgan mixer cans for no more than 15 quid. So a bit of a markup from supermarket prices but not too much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) Just generally got excited by the Avalon announcement. Doonicans! Frank Turner! Bananarama! Edit - I just had this awful feeling. My emails have been playing up meaning I haven't been able to check them as thoroughly as normal. And I started to doubt whether I really did receive a confirmation email after paying the balance. My stomach was turning as I checked. But there it was - phew!

MetaKate Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 I just ordered a new pair of hiking type boots. I'll have to try them when they get here. Ive also been flipflopping back and forth about booking my flight to London. It's not far out now but flights have not gone on sale in the last 3 months and now i'm worried they're going to get more expensive. I just want to have everything sorted. I'm also considering going to Glastonbury a few days before and seeing the stuff around before the festival, but I need to get my shit together and plan some stuff. I feel like i'm really cutting things close this year. It's going to be May in a second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannaranks Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 Set up my tent to check for holes and air it out. Got to say I would recommend this tent. It’s so spacious and the porch at the front makes for keeping bags and chairs and muddy shoes. Also pretty easy to put up and down, once you get the hang of it. I think it’s on offer for 79 pounds at decathlon at the mo. I want to sleep in it nowwwwwww. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely recommend staying in Glastonbury, it’s a great place with lots of interesting characters to meet and a fab way to start the festival, we always stay there on the Tuesday night.
