Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Also... booked my click and collect slot for Glastonbury Tesco to pick up ice cubes, and a few other fresh items before rolling into the campervan fields 👍🏼 Saves us having to keep everything cold while we're exploring Glastonbury town in the days before hand. Slots are available now if you need to do the same! Feels like Christmas 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squirrelarmy Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Practised packing a bag with a hangover. Just need the weather to decide what it’s doing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 I'm currently nursing a spiced rum hangover, sat in the garden with a strong black coffee. Feels very much like Glasto preparation to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiepaul Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 I have got my festival chair out in the garden and sitting in the sun listening to Slowdive. Trying to think about packing list now as the next couple of weeks are really busy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Test inflate the air bed to check for punctures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry MonkFish Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 My kids were very excited to try a tent out. With 4 of us in a 2 person tent it was very squashed and practically rained in the tent from all the condensation. I'm hoping that's down to too many people in too small a tent and when I'm there on my own it'll be different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Got all my festival gear out. Its in the wash. Blew up air bed, checked for holes. Checked air pillow for holes. All good to go, new tent ordered and is on its way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted June 4, 2023 Report Share Posted June 4, 2023 Sorted the bag of bits and really slimmed the amount we take down. Some bit I wouldn’t take but it stuff like first aid kits etc. also got new phone sims for data on the farm and kendal calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a slow start I am now on it: * checked the glasto camping stock to see what is needed. Luckily, not a lot it seems! * gave my tent a good airing in the garden and then got my boyfriend to repack it 😄 * started the schedule - went pretty deep into the Woodsies playlist and found so much good stuff! Strummerville next. * did some outfit planning - mostly same as last year, but if aint broke, don't fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much the same. I have all my camping gear in one area of our garage so its easily accessible, the only thing I do the weekend before the festival is check is that everything is in order, and take my power bank out to charge it. Otherwise its just a booze/snacks run after work at Tesco then home to pack on the Tuesday night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, exactly the same, charge power bank and make up some Bakewell vodka, that's about my preparations until the Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think over time you learn what you need/don't need and its like packing for a holiday for me now...kinda do it on autopilot. My only slight concern is my rucksack which has served me since the mid-90s has a very slight split in it between the back board and the main bag bit, and my camping chair I've had since 2015 is going the same way at where the arm poles go through the seat part....may need to replace both next summer. 🙂 Edited June 5, 2023 by gooner1990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faymondo Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 Aired the tent on some parkland on the banks of The Mersey on Saturday (Otterspool Prom) Police man came over from a unmarked car and said you cant camp here. He looked about 12 (I'm getting old) explained I was only airing my tent for Glastonbury and he said thats OK then. Tent is fine for another year.

I'm also like this, but without the space and organisation of you and @gooner1990 I have a list that I carry forward year after year, but it varies depending if I'm in coach or general and then the stuff is shoved under beds or into crevices in cupboards. I think it's probably nearly time to check I've still got the stuff on the list 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDiesel Posted June 5, 2023 Report Share Posted June 5, 2023 What's the best booze to value ratio you can get without purely taking vodka/gin in with a plastic container? I'm debating bags of Lilleys Cider, but still a touch pricey for the size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
