Ive been in there but didnt find a hot tub!! Someone else told me the carrot trick in 2016 and I happened to find a carrot laying in the mud on the Sunday. I thought "this is bullshit, no way a carrot will get me in" but I picked it up, cleaned all the mud off, and carried it around in my bag all day. I got seperated from my friends that night... and was a bit pleased because I knew now I could try my carrot (they all thought I was mad) I waited in the line for a bit, not sure how to wave around a carrot for entry, until the people behind me started saying they wished they had a carrot again. They told me where to try and said they'd save my spot in line just in case. Alas, the March Hare told me it was the wrong type of carrot, and it needed green bits on the top. I went back to the line and waited to get in (I was already half way to the front by the time I tried the carrot). In 2017 I brought the right carrots but never ended up in the park at the right time, so still dont know for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Wrong-Un Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 So someone needs to tell the Co-op to order in a large quantity of carrots. And to ensure that the QC check only allows green headed ones. Could be a game changer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the same, use the proper she wee ones not cheaper rubber imitations as they work a treat and def no leaks. I was then able to use the cardboard ones they hand out at glasto no problems and those loos were a joy to use. Literally, esp after a ton of whisky and coke! Have been raving about shewees ever since. Good luck!! Are they just so you dont have to hover or do you use the urinals with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2015 we took carrots after hearing this to be true in years previous and when we presented them (rather ceremoniously) we were just laughed at and told to get to the back of the queue. Both embarassing and disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexlogic Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 For those of you who, like me suffer cold feet at night, even with socks...? Heat pads for pain make a decent hot water bottle to slip into your sleeping bag. They’re particularly good when you can’t get hold of hot water at that time of night. The poundshop do their version too, so a cheap solution to an annoying problem. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I would rather pee into a cardboard cup and tip it than risk any chance of sitting on them, especially when tipsy. I steer clear from the long drops and aim for the compost loos. Only time I ever use long drops is when I am absolutely desperate in the main areas like the pyramid. I tried a she wee once and putting it in and out of my bag all day just seem so unhygienic. Hover for the number ones and use your half empty/rolled up and flattened toilet roll to cover the seat for number 2s if you need to sit down and contemplate for those ones. Hopefully you won't be doing so many of those that you won't run out of loo roll. After a few days walking around especially if it's muddy you'll have thighs like a horse and will be able to hover for both! ? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poo and wee don't levitate - hovering is the only way it gets on the seats in the first place. Wipe if you're worried and sit. Not one recorded case in medical history of an infection from sitting on a toilet seat. Spare loo roll available at info points, but please do bring your own so they don't run out for those in real need. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jow95 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 The stewards on the fire towers all over the campsites are changed every hour on the hour. Ceremoniously stand up and salute the changing of the steward as it happens and then finish your drink, will keep you nicely buzzing along all day. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Clip your nails right down- amazing how difficult getting mud and dirt out from underneath long nails when you aren’t showering! Always wash your hands under the tap if you get the chance rather than just using hand sanitizer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
