sime Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Been getting my things together bit by bit. I don't need much really. Socks, a jumper, a hoody, some t-shirts, few shirts, jacket, cap, beanie, booze, snacks, flannel, towel, sleeping bag, tent. That's about it for me.

The Clearest Blue Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Spent yesterday jumping from band to band at Dot to Dot festival in Bristol. Plenty of good music, beer, walking and sun, perfect Glastonbury prep. Feels like the summer has properly started now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't find these specific ones again at the moment but if you type in 'hair beads' or 'hollow hair jewels' or something similar there are loads of pretty things 😊 only about £1.50 a pack Nothing says sustainability like Shein!

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 13 mile walk along the Water of Leith to properly road test the new shoes. Overall very successful. No blisters or sore areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not warm enough at night and they always feel weird under my hoodie 🤭 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazyfool01 Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Added the dj decks and a laser type light a few days back . Today I added some crazyfool lettering and hid the battery box with some beads 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offmytrolley Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 I tested out my new sleeping setup last night 😄 Big Agnes Air Core Ultra mat, Exped inflatable + down pillow, a random Tempur travel pillow I got for free years ago, a sleeping bag liner to use as a sheet over the mat, and my sleeping bag to use as a duvet (I don't like being constrained in a mat as I move around quote a bit before I get off to sleep) Worked pretty well but I need a bigger liner if I'm going to use it as a sheet without making the mat curl up at the bottom (it's a mummy-style liner) and I wonder if the sleeping bag will be warm enough to use as a duvet as it traps air less well when you're not cocooned in it.

The shirts are my one attempt at feeling a bit dressed up (weather depending...!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueJeansAndWhiteTshirts Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Concluded that the Moth Cocktails were worth the investment after a weekend away camping. Coleman Extreme cool box has performed very well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's hard being a magpie in a cost of living crisis 🤷🏼♀️ It's the only thing I've ever bought from there to be fair. All my other outfits are from vinted 👍🏼 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDayman Posted May 28, 2023 Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 Had hoped to air out the tent but alas, that will have to be next weeks task. Bought a roof rack for the car today though, so hopefully a bit more space heading down this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatingsAndMoney Posted May 29, 2023 Report Share Posted May 29, 2023 I’ve been up the loft and all stuff Glastonbury has been brought down. A favourable weather day here in Scotland so I’ll be giving the tent a set up to make sure all is in working order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
