I took 25L in 5L bladders in 2015 which was a fairly warm one and I didn't have any issues

I kept them in rucksack in my tent and found they kept quite chilled, the last one was actually cold on Monday morning 

I kind a like the idea of an exploding cider bladder ?

I'm a bit weird like that ?

Just ordered a 10L box of Lilley's Scrumpey Cider, in Medium. Never tried before, hoping it's yummy.

Also another vote for the Friel's cider in small cans you can buy in Tesco. Absolutely delicious and very strong.

Lilley's put sweeteners in - maybe everyone does and the only difference is that Lilley's are honest about it, but I'd have rather not have my cider sweetened with anything other than apples.

Pleased there are a few votes for Lilley's here, never tried it before so taken a bit of a punt. Don't mind about the sweeteners if true, use them in my tea and coffee every day anyway.

I'm sorry I ever doubted you!

 

I should jolly well think so too! ?

BTW, I really enjoyed Sunset, but I didn't trust Gladiator, which was over 8%, so made me suspicious about its purity.  Lilly's most certainly do make better cider than virtually of what you van get from the shops - I'm just not convinced it's the best cider you can buy online.

Yeah! Theres a small pub right next to where I work that does 5 of the Lilleys and I always get the mango to start my evening. Will be getting some more in for 2000 Trees.

I didn't, but I think I'm going to place an order.  I'm going to leave it another week before ordering, to ensure it's fresh at the festival.

Another vote for  Kingston Black - they had one of these (not Hecks though) at Bad Apple bar at Boomtown for a few years, was around 8%, and from memory they opened around 11am. down one at the bar, take one away to have with breakfast. PERFECT start to the day.

Now that we've all selected our cider of choice, any one got any good ideas about how to decant just enough to take around the for the day? Wyld Wood comes in the perfect 3L bags...can I buy these anywhere empty which I could then fill with other cider? I've got a big 25L bag and I am not going to be able to lug that around with me!

2l pop bottles?  One of these?

I'm tempted to get some of these, but not much more than single use:

Yeh, thats the issue i'm having with bringing a load of plastic bottles. That top one could work though. Can you detach the tube from it?

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
