Our flight out on Tuesday evening is fairly cheap at least. The above includes 23kg of luggage there and back too, so that adds up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't heard of the Beyond the Pale one - must check it out. The 4 of us going are losing our festival virginity with Glasto this year (excluding a small time festival local to us years ago called Pig Stock). May as well start with the ultimate festival!

I remember Pigstock, it was actually quite close to where I'm originally from in Down. Beyond the Pale looks decent, it's in a country park with a 5,000 capacity. Seems to be the way of it, Body & Soul have downsized to that number as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Train tickets booked to Bath! Gwr has open bookings to get to Glasto now and they have their low fares. Return journey probably coming next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogeggs Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 New pair of boots ordered. Old ones are pretty battered, although still v comfy. I’m thinking they’re at least 13 years old, so probably not so waterproof any more…time for a fresh set. Threw in a couple of pairs of those 1000mile socks whilst I was at it . Hadn’t heard of them until someone mentioned on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogeggs Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 5 hours ago, Walter Sobchak said: Can any of you good people recommend a decent lightweight self inflating single mattress? Ta Got a couple of exped ultra light down mats a few years back. Not exactly self inflating (you use a bag thing to inflate it, takes about 2-3mins tops, next to no effort). They’re really comfy, albeit a bit easy to slide off it when you’re in a sleeping bag - so we put both inside a quilt cover to avoid sliding off in the night.

oakdown Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Sun's out and I'm finally Covid negative(!) so I took the tent down out the loft and cracked a bottle of Thatchers Katy to get in the spirit. More of a beer drinker these days but Glasto has a way of tempting me back on the cider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
