In fact, I've been 5 times and never used a lockup once - that will change this year! I'm always up for the challenge of carrying everything in one trip but I'm taking my girlfriend this year and I know she's going to struggle. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Does anyone else find it mad that in less than a month you will be in a crowd of near 200,000 people? I mean I’ve been to a few gigs recently but nothing above 20k… this is a serious step up. I know covid restrictions are a thing of the past right now but a crowd that big still feels crazy!

It was really weird going into the big crowd for the first time at Latitude last year, after about 1 minute it feels like nothing has changed though 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanton Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 About to set off for a wee wild camp in the Pentland Hills. Test out the new tent etc. Be good to get some walking miles in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 I suddenly realised that in two weeks time I will be at Bearded Theory which I am viewing as a practice run for Glasto with regard to kit etc. Then I realised that that means I only have this weekend and next before I go! Shit, better start thinking seriously about what to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, there will likely be a few more folks than previous festivals with a touch of anxiety, especially if they make up for the lost two years by partying with a bit too much gusto. We'll have to be extra nice to each other 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beergirl Posted May 14, 2022 Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Just completed my steward training webinar, much more enjoyable than when I had to drag my hungover self to the in person one on a wet Wednesday morning years back! Ordered myself a new rucksack this week as well as some other bits and bobs that needed replacing. The glasto box is slowly being filled and I'm getting excited now!

kalifire Posted May 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2022 Pre-booked my taxi from my parent’s place to the Bath & West Showground. The final pieces of the logistical puzzle are coming together and I couldn’t be happier. Got off that call with a beaming smile across my face.

kalifire Posted May 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Ordered some Compeed plasters and anti-blister socks. Last time I ended up with a humdinger of a blister which I'd like to avoid this year. Also made sure my cat will have everything she needs while I'm away and she's looked after by a friend. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBalls Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Wanted to see if the tent was all still there and have a practice at putting it up again, I live in a top floor apartment now but luckily it just about fits in my kitchen 🤣👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogster Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Got new fancy insoles for the shoes with gel bubbles or something like that. Checked the stock of experimental fruit infused booze, discarded the 2019 quince (interesting but I just won't drink it) but the 2019/2020 bison vodka sloe is just perfect!

Lithoniel Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Bought a cheapo bluetooth speaker from sainsbury's reduced to £10...

Beerqueen Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 Found my shorts. Tried them and they still fit - but I don't like them. Sor ordered some new ones which annoyingly will only arrive the day before I go to Bearded Theory. So if I don't like them or they don't fit, I'll have to take my old ones.
