Has anyone used one of these for the campsite? Have no intention of taking them to any stages but they look so comfy for a bit of a chill back at camp. 

 

They're great, just watch out if you're running to fill it up with air in the morning. The grass is wet and slippery and I found this out while in the overnight queue in 2017, much to everybodies delight.

Did a hiking marathon yesterday so today will be spent eating, drinking tea, kipping with reckless abandon and resting my knees for their next onslaught at the big G

You do need a bit of room to fill them with air which you might not have back at your campsite

We're in the CV fields so should be ok to get a bit of a run at it.

Husband and I had our annual debate in Asda (other supermarkets and cider stockists are available) about how much cider to take where invariably he says double what I was thinking/we can reasonably manouever from the car park. Every year he's right though so we now have 80 cans for the two of us (I've only drunk 2 pints so far this entire year ??)

Today was the only day I had free between now and the festival to air the tent out and by some stroke of luck the suns out! 

Its not been out for 2 years (the tent, not the sun but it feels like it) and I've just found an open bag of haribo stuck to the side with various glitters and what I think is mini cheddars but i'm not sure.

Also picked up some rhubarb vodka and a litre of JD for 20 quid in Tesco. It's nearly here!!

Just done a test pack, minus clothes. All looking surprisingly promising so far.

I once found a cooked sausage inside my about four years after it had last been used. It was remarkably well preserved.

Mended tent poles ?

? I felt like a cooked sausage cleaning the tent out its so warm. Dont know how we managed in 32 degree heat last time

Started charging up phone chargers, got husband to pick out some clothes as he's away the week before the fesival so need to be a bit more organised. Been listening to the playlist and adding to the line up. Getting even more shafted with clashes. Plus side is no matter what the weather I have things I want to see.

Dealt with a post-Muse hangover which has given me a timely reminder to take it a little easier and pace myself at Glastonbury! I dont want to be feeling like this after sleeping in a tent!!

[SighMo]

Plenty of cider in the sun practice at Wimborne Folk Festival yesterday from midday to about 10pm so a good warm up.

I had to get changed after putting up the tent in 2017. Was absolutely drenched.

I did that. Nearly passed out (no exaggeration after struggling in the queue). Would have been a shocking start to the festival... Moreso for the unlucky soul that found my unconscious, semi clothed state...

Been watching some Glasto vlogs which have made me very excited!

[Woffy]

Fucking stupid annoying air bed pump isn’t working. Gahhh.

Better to find that out now than down on the farm.

Spent the entire weekend packing all my life into boxes, the decision to get the house move out of the way before Glastonbury is starting to seem stupid! How do I have so much sh*t?! I’ve cheated so much off the charity shops it’s unreal, I never realised I was such a hoarder! But one step closer to the fest now!

A bought a bottle of ice cold water and emptied it down the front of my shorts. It was bliss!

I took one in 2017 with my youngest. Of an evening around the greenfields I’d run around like an idiot and fill it. We would then sit at the back of the small stages and listen to whoever was on and watch the world. 

It was ace!

id recommend them

Watched the Lost in Vagueness documentary.

 

Having trouble getting into Glasto this year (not unusual, feel like this approx 50% of the time) and the documentaries are a good way of getting into it :)

Brilliant, I've sat in one before and super comfy but wasn't sure if they are likely to rip or what have ye. Ordered now. Thanks.
