Mike A Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Oh no! I hope you're able to straighten that out before the festival. I can imagine wearing that hat only adds to the stress on you back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm normally a Converse wearer at the festival. But because of that bloody woodchip causing me issues last year, I have bought some walking boots. Been breaking them in over the last couple of months. They are so comfy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I’m not impressed about is my mate’s 3 man I ordered from decathlon eBay on Monday. Still not been dispatched and no answer to my messages. Was supposed to be delivered today. Think a last minute dash to their nearest store in Telford may have to happen on Monday if it’s still not here. Wont be impressed if I have to do that. Just be aware that there are two 3 man f&b - one with a porch and one without. Last year Telford only stocked the one without. I had to order the one with a porch online. If I hadn't have looked at the ones online, I wouldn't have known the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelin Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 I had my eyebrows microbladed yesterday. Im blooming hairless due to my treatment. They look fab and Im so pleased. Im abit nervous about this heat as I dont think i can wig it. So now I need some good sun hats that look nice if you know of any. I bought some from Tilley but they cost a fortune and are really sweaty! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's insane, last year was our first year in campervan and the "official" opening time was 12 i think, by the time we got in we ended up at the far end of E17, was like an extra 25minute trek at the end of each night Hoping to get in as early as possible this year too and have a nice short walk, we've got a pram this time so dreading the walk back up that hill each night Today though, out of office set, packing the van, and doing a little whistle stop brewery tour on our way south over the weekend.

We only got the campervan tickets last year in the resale, we had a lockdown baby like half of last years festival so didn't want to try camping with a six month old. Now we can never go back to camping, a curse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LR10416 Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Starting taking over the entire floor of my lounge laying stuff out, I'm the type of person that needs to visualise everything to work out if I'm missing anything! Also dug out my proper rain coat from top of the wardrobe - hoping I won't need it but you have to appease the weather gods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarw Posted June 16, 2023 Report Share Posted June 16, 2023 Ordered a 20*C sleeping bag to pickup on Monday on the way down. I will sweat like a pig 🐷 in my 3 seasons one.
