I was contemplating taking something like Heul or breakfast protein powder that has oats in. All you'd need to do is mix it with water and should provide a good start to the day.

Anyone done this before?

I do this. I take ground oats and mix with protein powder and psyllium husk and 500ml of water, and have a banana from somewhere. Gets your job done in the AM on the way in and the way out, so you're not bothered about that business later in the day. And it's hydrating.

I always have a breakfast bar on the morning when I wake up even though they're crap. It's generally important I get something in me as soon as possible after a night on the booze - and it's usually quite a long time between waking and ending up in and around the food stalls where I can grab a proper bite. Any recommendations on breakfast bars greatly appreciated, but I doubt there's any good ones in existence.

Also, is there a "canned crisp" as such, other than the dreadful Pringles?

Those delmonte fruit in syrup things are great to take away the stale beer mouth from the night before. Gives you just enough energy to make a move to the long drop , teeth brushed, comfort bottle emptied then a strong tea and a bacon roll smothered in brown sauce from a catering  van.

We’re taking a wee stove and doing breakfast wraps. Bacon brunch from Sainsbury’s. It’s a foil pouch of sliced potatoes with bacon thats ready cooked and just needs heated. I’ll chuck some eggs in them. We also plan on bringing frozen bacon and sausage in a cool bag for the first couple of days. Wraps stay fresh for ages so I always go with them for festivals

Man up, stick to Scottish traditions and chuck in a deep fried mars bar and a can of Carly super! 

Sainsburys indeed!!!

Those protein powders aren't cheap. 

The brekkie tacos in Williams Green for example are 4 quid. Theres similar elsewhere. Thats 20 quid for brekkie for 5 days.

Usually go to Strumpets as normally in West CV, but Williams Green will be closer to me this year. What's the stall called please?

One of the bonuses of working is the meal tickets. We get two for every shift we work which equals six tickets. I generally use these for breakfasts Wednesday - Monday.

Catering marquee just yards from my tent with a fry up and beverages. Not having to walk half a mile to spend £5+ for a bacon roll and cup of tea. Priceless.

One of the downsides of camping in Darble is a distinct lack of any decent food at all (that I am aware of anyway). The canteen, or cafe or whatever it is, is rank and the little coffee place at PGA always has a massive queue. As a result we always end up having to decamp early to get decent food. May have to rethink our camp location this year.

Whenever I’ve taken those on a flight, once I take them out to eat in the country I’ve flown to, I find they’ve compressed into a smaller, solid block- I don’t understand why!

I only used it on the Monday morning before catching the coach, couldn't get the taste of the grease out of my mouth all the way home. Rethink needed this year.

I just take the view that you're going to have to make a move out of your camping field towards the action sometime, so you might as well get breakfast on the way to where ever you're going.

Years ago one Sunday morning it was a cold Chocolate Milk Shake from the stall in the markets sprnkled with s***d to perk me up and ready for the last day.

And a pint of grapefruit juice with plenty of vodka in my tent to solve the " i just can't be arsed today " you sometimes get sat in your tent , you get  on the Sat or Sun mornings !.

Food wise i used to enjoy the breakfast burritos near the Cider Bus !

 

s***d???

EDIT: Oh I get it. Yes, that'd wake you up.

    • Yesterday was another brilliant day of music for me. Some highlights:  My Bloody Valentine - absolutely loved it! Maybe my main festival highlight. I felt submerged in the music with all the layers and distortion. It becomes hypnotic almost as it progresses. Not as loud as some thought it might be, but it didn’t need to be. The visuals added a lot too. During the noise part of You Made me Realise, I was basically in a trance staring at the visual tunnel or whatever it was on screen. Amazing experience. Little Simz - as she mentioned at the start, you’re guaranteed a good time with her. Great performance just like in 2022. Zero complaints. The little DJ section wasn't something I expected but was cool. Kneecap - I had a blast but at this point in the night I was at my most intoxicated let's say, so I don’t remember it as clearly as I'd have liked to!    The xx - The sound for this was perfectly balanced (at least where I was) and the band were great. Lots of talkers, but with the crowd size and being kind of far back, it's to be expected. Intro was one of my favourite moments this year. Big Thief - really good live performers. The lead singer has a lovely voice. This was a nice chill way to kick off the mordor gigs for me.  
    • I've been attending Primavera every year since my first one in 2017 & it's always been my favourite week of the year, but I think things have changed.   Firstly, the site just feels too busy in this current set-up. I'm sure it was a lot easier back in 2017-19 to get between the stages & then a good spot for the next one, but now you increasingly have to sacrifice parts of a set or miss them out completely to plan for later on. I wish we still had the Bits area over the bridge to spread everyone out.   But the main issue is the talking, it's always been here but this year it's been relentless & I just can't tolerate it any more. It's at every stage, and everywhere from the front to the back, there is no escape. Not focusing on nationalities, but a major dynamic now seems to be groups of people who are only focusing on their own good time & aren't interested if this affects anyone else. It seems essential that all members of the group are together at the same time, so it's people making telephone calls, people on shoulders waving phone torches, people barging through. It's alright, I'm only trying to watch The Cure here.   I will have a year away to think about it. I thought might give up completely but yesterday was a bit of a classic day after two unenjoyable ones. Adding Olivia Rodrigo to Baxter Dury, Gelli Haha, The XX, Gorillaz & Kneecap shows how good it can be, but as with everything, it's always the people that have the biggest impact.
