The other Bellboy Posted March 23 Report Share Posted March 23 Picked up my daughters passport with her UK visa in it on Friday. Now just need to cancel of the flight bookings as the kids mother will not be joining us on the trip and begin the search to find some childminding help during the trip and during the festival, thank fully the lovefields ticket can be used by anyone so that should help in the search:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlotteB Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 I'm seriously thinking about a new tent. My current one has seen many Glastonbury's, but it's getting towards the end of it's lifespan. I'm undecided, but thinking maybe one more Glasto? (Watch it collapse around me this year!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Watch it collapse around me this year!) same for me. current tent, to be fair, has a few more festivals left in it but i really want a Fresh & Black this year. now that i am a tired old man i really need a bit of a lie in in the mornings...

balti-pie Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Once you've got a Fresh n Black, you'll be angry at not having succumbed sooner - they're genuinely magical. Cooler, darker, with the inflatable poles theyre up in no time at all, they're an absolute gamechanger and there's no way i'd go back to a standard tent any more. (repeats ad nauseum) fresh n black! fresh aaaand black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Bought a 3 man XL pop up f&b off FB market the other day for £40 (RRP £139.99) to replace my 3 man standard f&b! Very happy with the price - looking forward to the ease of setup and extra space! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very happy with the price - looking forward to the ease of setup and extra space! This is obvious of course, but.. you *are* going to check it before the festival, right? And ideally give it a soaking. Decathlon allow you to buy replacements parts for the main components, but that's only useful if you know to do so in advance.

dotdash79 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 We had a fresh and black but won’t be using it. The main issue is that the groundsheet isn’t sewn-in so we had loads of bugs and it felt less safe in the living area. Also the bedroom divider isn’t removable. Still need to sell it on.

What do you mean by this? I’ve just had a look online and the one I ordered looks like the ground sheet is sewn in to the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Just booked my national express coach tickets, new camp bed and chair arrived. That's everything paid for apart from the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looother Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 It's my first Glastonbury at 49, having finally given up on finding a small festival with a line-up that looks like the West Holts, and I only got the tickets (through work) last week. So I'm currently obsessively researching. I've booked a hotel nearby for the Tuesday night. I've binned off my Green Man tickets. I've ordered some wellies. I've made an excellent playlist. I'm trying to decide if it's worth replacing a perfectly good tent with a new one that has blackout fabric. And I'm reading everything. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(rather than being sewn in). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
