offmytrolley Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 Started on my Glasto pile today! (mainly with bits from the holiday I've just got back from that I know I'll need so there's no point putting them away properly) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have purchased a new tent, one I can stand up in, which arrived yesterday. Just had my first trial run putting it up on my own, and am delighted. It’s a Quechua Arpenez 4.1, and I could perform yoga in it if I chose to. Or readily swing cats. (Note: no animals were harmed in the erection of this tent). Had that same problem myself a couple of years ago at EotR so also purchased a new tent, due to issues had to still take my old tent to EotR last year as on the bus. finally got around to putting up the new tent a couple of weeks ago, an Outwell, can stand up easily ini t 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More vodka! 🤣 Nah, normally Sprite/Lemonade, although there have been some unfortunate occasions where cider has been used as a mixer. Tasty results, but the next morning hurts. 🙈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justcalledtosay Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 It'll be a couple of bottles of decanted Kraken for me plus my Moth cocktails. Might have to buy cider at the festival given i'm on the coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was run by EE, and with the switch to Vodafone I've not seen any announcements around this. Previously I think I remember I had to purchase the batteries online before the festival then swap them at the EE tent. I suspect Vodafone aren't doing this. I've now done what some recommended, and bought a monster powerbar. 25k ma. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Vodafone Connect and Charge point on the map where EE has been the last couple years next to Left Field/the Glade, so does appear like Vodafone will be offering this 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It costs more for the weekend of charging than it does to just buy a decent powerbank from amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since switching from 8hr roster to 12hrs I get alot more time off and if I use my annual leave days wisely I can get some nice long breaks without using much of my holiday allowance👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 Bought these as it’s going to be bone dry and like walking on concrete all weekend. but they were too tight around my foot, ordered the next 2 sizes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
