The piles have started (packing )

[Crazyfool01]

Dissect my Glastonbury packing pile … has anyone else started packing piles yet ? Maybe I’m a bit early with this but what the hell …. Post your pile pictures here

I just pack everything the night before when I get home from work! 

[Skip997]

Generally don't pack until the morning of the day I go.

Mine is not nearly as neat!

And I'm having second thoughts about bringing the stuffed tiger and the DVDs to be honest 😁

Brave … I was up in the loft so thought I’d get it all down while I was up there . Planning on waterproofing and checking the tent  this weekend as the sun is out

I started my pile in Nov straight after getting tickets. First timer. Try and stop me from getting more to add to it.

You're not going to need that lamp.

I have lots of stuff already stored in the caravan. Won't start the rest of the packing until a week before when we have a better idea of the weather.

Having a constant pile in the corner like that would have me too excited. Lol. Love it though 👏🏼

I’ll remove that and lighten the load . Ta

I have started to make a pre pile. I know what I am taking and what is necessary/not necessary and will fully pack the weekend before leaving. But do like to get things started early so that I can just relax and enjoy the last few days before the festival starts without having to do much of anything.

Same here!

Not started checking stuff over yet but will be starting tomorrow, tent, trolley, cool box.  Have however ordered some beer from my fave local brewery today.  30 x High Wire Grapefruit IPA and 24 x Salty Kiss Gooseberry Gose from Magic Rock.  Just got to make sure I don't drink it all in the next 4 weeks.....

I do it in dribs and drabs. If I'm in a drawer for something else and see something I'll need I grab it while I'm passing and in the pile it goes.

I think the tiger should be going

🤣  On a flagpole perhaps? Turn left at the tiger! *

I've got a pile of booze in the shed now, but I will be a last minute packer.

Been to so many festivals, yet I feel like such a virgin at the moment with prepping 😂

[rubenz]

Going to pack light AF this year. Nothing will make the cut to get in the big unless strictly neccesary. Fed up of lugging in stuff I don't need!

[Crazyfool01]

Will be making 2 trips as I’m coaching it … one nice light load tent setup the tent and then the rest loaded on my pushbike and trailer from the carpark 

[Skip997]

I'm considering giving a prize to whoever brings the least amount of stuff (van crew excluded).

As long as it doesn’t get left behind it’s not troubling anyone .

I’ve done about 70 camping festivals over the last 25 years…. I know what to/not being pretty easily now!

ain't no-one got space for that sort of pile in the house. Normal night before eaves attack.

You're in a van though...?
