Well I say walking boots but what I really mean is my sons old CCF boots which I press into service for festival work - we walk miles on shift and then more miles not on shift...I get heat rash just be looking at high sided footwear...

Beerqueen Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I bought this last year (when it was about £10) and couldn't stop raving about it as it meant that I could take a blow up mattress which actually takes less room than a roll mat. I thought it would use batteries like anything but not at all. Best thing I've bought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they're a god send for the legs between acts/eating/relaxing etc. They're that light I just used a carabiner and hung it from my belt at Latitude. I have that kind of chair.. but for a small amount more bulk/weight you can get the high back version..

Jacko45 Posted March 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Anyone looking for a lightweight option that's superior to a camping mat but barely anymore bulk. Look no further than this! So comfortable and properly thick. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07N4KK854?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder-t1_k0_1_7&=&crid=21OVI65F29XCQ&sprefix=trekolo&th=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Doran Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 My new electric bicycle. I've always brought a push-bike for whizzing round the site (except for mud and/or crowds) but now I'm 70 I've finally accepted that I need a bit of oomph to get up Pennards Hill. Don't worry: I'll have three secure locks to deter potential pilferage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it's worth bringing a push-iron to get the water/disposal points in the Campervan field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great way to tour the site and visit folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great bit of kit and very comfortable. You dont wake upp at 4am like you're into the middle of a giant marshmellow with concrete bottom like the cheapo ones.

PassingCloud Posted March 11, 2023 Report Share Posted March 11, 2023 Met this fella and purchased his wares, the ‘How Ya Gonna Clap’ at New Orleans Jazz Fest in 2014.
