eatingglitter Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 I've spent a fortune on new bedding for the campervan. Ended up buying some of the duvalay extra sheets, then buying foam from foams4u, single duvets, straps etc. it could end up really good and saved myself several hundred squids, or I'm a mug. Either way, bouji bedding is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotdash79 Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Taking a duvet and pillows to camping festival is a true game changer, we even use a fitted sheet on the sleeping mats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duvet rather than sleeping bag ? How do you pack that ? Surely bulky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely bulky A duvet isn't much difference to a sleeping bag isn't it? Just not usually packed down so much. Not tried it but I assume you could vacuum pack it relatively small.

Surely bulky fitted sheet, pillow and duvet all in a vacuum bag shrinks considerably. Get a little rechargable bed pump to shrink it down again for return journey. My crappy pound shop vacuum bag split last year before I could repack it, but its easier on the way out as all the drink has gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 1. Booked hotel in Bristol on the Sunday night, so can be in Oxfield as early as possible on the Monday. 2. Started to buy some of those tiny, but lethal, cocktail cans from M&S. Freeze well and don’t take up a lot of space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted April 10 Report Share Posted April 10 (edited) I have checked my coach ticket. Why the f**k did I book my return from Glastonbury to Bristol and then Bristol to Birmingham? What was I thinking? Ah well, I'll survive I guess. Edit - the direct is half an hour later and £20 more. Hmm, shall I change it if I can, I think I might.

Hmm, shall I change it if I can, I think I might. One year, I was very smug about the fact that I'd managed to find a cheap train ticket from Bristol, and that combined with the shuttle bus to Temple Meads saved about £30 versus getting the direct coach home. Monday morning, I was desperately wishing I'd booked the direct option. Definitely worth the extra if you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
