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. We have this tent and used it for Boardmasters last year, it was brilliant! Really sturdy, spacious yet cosy, and the blackout was amazing - the best sleep we have ever had at a festival by far. It stood up really well against the cliff winds there as well.

Crazyfool01 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 shorts have come out the wardrobe ... perfect Glastonbury prep .... although maybe not so good for the people of Taunton to get subjected to my legs this early in the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I am thick skinned and a scroll it shall be, complete with wooden turny bits at the top and bottom. I wonder if you can get some brass caps for the end of the wooden turny thing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillhouse188 Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Bought our tent, sleeping bags, rucksacks, bumbags and some other bits over this week, it's starting to feel real! Any recommendations on sleeping mats/alternatives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madyaker Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Booked buses from bristol to the festival and back. Expensive enough at almost €50 return. Probably get some heavy drinking practice in this weekend as well Edited April 18, 2019 by Madyaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffy Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Received a very swift response to an email to the festival asking about taking a child's buggy on the Shuttle Bus from B&W Showground Drop & Collect Point.

rubick Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 Bought new hiking boots, which have carried me several hundred miles of hill walking, x8 Electric Picnic festivals (central Ireland) and x3 Glastonburys. Now to get them worn in. Don't forget - two pairs of thin socks is better than one thick pair, kids! Retiring previous pair to the garden. So I have to garden now I guess.

I guess I'm a bit complacent now, I know I've got all the camping stuff so though I'll be making a list, it'll be nearer the time and I know it's just really working out what to take from what I've already got. And going by coach, it'll have to be only the essentials. The spreadsheet I'm making is mainly working out what music I'm discovering and want to see/hear.

Mark Doran Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Just bought a new 14-foot trampoline for Lost Horizon. Not cheap and I can't in all honesty afford it. But our existing one is falling to pieces - and there's no price on the sheer unadulterated joy of naked trampolining! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 With this weather I would expect all over the country back lawns are being turned into mini glastos as excited folk test out their tents, discover they havnt enough pegs, wonder how to get rid of that white mould that’s on the groundsheet and finally sit proudly in the tent drinking a cider! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarw Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Cleaned the tent last night and reproofed it today. Not that I’ll need a waterproof tent, it’s just to appease the weather Gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 Started looking at t-shirts. I tend to buy a few shirts relating to the year's acts. It's my half-arsed attempt at 'dressing up'. I don't have space to carry elaborate outfits, but I can wear a few topical t-shirts, which then immediately get relegated to 'indoor only' on my return home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrenVonBoathook Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) Finally got the campervan through its MOT at the second attempt. I would normally been more thorough in preparing it the first time round but this year a lack of time and the fact it hasn't been anywhere since 2017 meant a fail with binding brakes. Lost still to do before its ready for Glastonbury (actually Bearded Theory first) though, but it's a big tick in the list.
