What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2022?

Just sorted the last bit for the go pro if it all goes well I’ll have loads of clips around the site with just the atmosphere and crowd noise.

Better hope you can't taste it! Hideous stuff

Well they don’t do vintage in tins unfortunately

And it’s considerably better than some of the cider that has been sold there on draft before . 

[Smeble]

Bought new solar panels for a vehicle i don’t own yet that’s we are buying from an American in Hungary via South Africa and Croatia, it’s very complicated

[TheGChild]

Brought a new sleeping bag and roll mat (it's been years). Ordered lights for the tent. Started making a custom T shirt. Went to a local art garden who were having a music and bbq shindig. Between the woods setting, large outdoor art installments, smell of street food and live .music I got the faintest of Glastonbury vibes....though I'm known to get excited at the meer sight of a portaloo.

I bought an opaque wee tub, with lid, for overnight in the van.

And before anyone from the urination gets alarmed: I pour it down the festival provided toilet in the morning 😉

We were talking about this last night. My other half reckons there are some NKOTB this year that are a significant reduction on the rugby scrum that is getting a pop up tent back in its bag

That reminds me that I have still haven't resolved the Half-a-festival-tent situation I have. I have the tent but not the poles or the bag gah.

I read that in a Scottish accent and couldn’t understand the issue until I got to the end 😀

Just bought a pillow from ikea, comes vaccuum packed so it’s small and light to carry in, then on the way out, once I’ve drunk all my booze it fits easily in my bag.

Link?

[BluePaul]

Just booked the caravan into the campsite at Cheddar Mendips for the weekend before the festival so the drive in on Tuesday is short and sweet.

I use one of those as my awning. 

You definitely need to watch a video before trying to pack it away.

Fabric paint? 

Sadly I have the artistic talent of an overzealous toddler. Definitely something to consider though.

Find some cheap stencils online. 
 

As soon as winter realises it’s overstayed it’s welcome I’ll be airing my tent out and might take the opportunity to paint it as well.

I can just imagine they are quite hard work. 

[gigpusher]

Some more test walks in the new boots - verdict so far they are very comfy. 

[Beerqueen]

I think if I had to get  pop up tent folded away on the Monday after Glastonbury it would definitely end in tears and a tantrum.

Speaking as someone who once threw a sleeping bag across the room as I couldn't get it back in it's bag (it was my first ever, and I was trying to fold it rather than just stuffing it).
