Kelty Mistral 20F - was £39.95 from Absolute Snow the other week. Not listed at the moment but it keeps coming back as stock turns up. Massive, massive step up from the Eurohike two-season wonders that are half the price at Go Outdoors. -
Ouch. Been to see a few gigs abroad and genuinely a thing I'm worried about is getting off the plane to find who I wanna see cancelled, which was a part of why I didn't go to Mad Cool 2022. Still planning to visit Milan anyway?

2014 Was my first year. Don't think I even ventured to the Pyramid Stage as I was busy working bar shifts every night in The Common. It rained a bit but we were staying in my late Mum's campervan which was a saving grace. I was working bar in Copperdollar and had never been part of anything like that before. There were dancers and DJs and the whole place was packed every night, it was wild, a real eye opener! I do remember seeing Jurassic 5 on West Holts and also The Wailers. 7/10 2015 Couldn't find much photo evidence of what I did this year but I think it was one of the best! it was lovely and sunny and dry. Ventured to Pyramid just in time for the end of Patti Smith (why the hell did i miss her?) and 5 pints of cider in was swaying along nicely to Lionel Ritchie. Again I was flat out with bar work and had to miss Parliament Funkadelic (sniff) but got a bit of Sly and The Family Stone in. Borrowed a mate's camper which was cosy. What topped it all off was Monday morning at the stone circle where 20 or so of us brought all our leftover booze and proceeded to have the funniest 6 hours of our lives making human pyramids and jumping through hoops. 8/10 2016 Off to a terrible start, our mates camper broke down 4 miles from site about an hour before the gates closed. RAC man came in his 4x4 and towed our massive green LDV through the mud and onto site. What an angel! Building the venue in the mud was hard and dancing in it equally so. I was upgraded from bar wench to dancer this year but I wasn't very good at it. Thankfully I was a lot better at my first ever glastonbury DJ slot!! Was so muddy we didn't make it to Pyramid but West Holts came through with Dakhabrakha and Shibusashirazu Orchestra who were mindblowing! Got the van towed offsite by a tractor and took it to a Glastonbury garage so we had a few days in Glastonbury town as a wind-down which was nice. 6/10 2017 Our venue was no more. We weren't going to go and I remember being pretty grumpy about it so me and my partner made a last ditch attempt for some work and managed to get a gig painting loo doors! We spent 3 days in the sun painting and then had the rest of the festival off. I remember spending a lot of time at Strummerville. Our friends dragged us to see Radiohead but wish I'd gone to see The Flaming Lips instead. I remember climbing along the back of pyramid field during Ed Sheeran trying to get to our mates DJ set. It was manic! 7/10 2019 Got invited to come back and DJ at a new venue - The Mez Yard! I played every night alongside some awesome DJs and the weather was hot hot hot! I don't actually think I got to see a lot because we were either DJing, sleeping or chilling in the shade but a bunch of us did go see The Cure close The Pyramid which was absolute magic. Had one of my best DJ gigs ever playing b2b with a friend at 4am Saturday morning as the sun was coming up. 7/10 2022 So good to be back! This year our venue was going full force with a bigger dancefloor and some professional dancers to bring it to life. I spent a lot of time at The Park this year and finally got to see Khruangbin! We were there for Jack White as well which was awesome as I loved The White Stripes as a teenager. Finally got to see Mik Artistik too after enjoying his lockdown livestreams. A friend painted loads of eyes on my face for Saturday, where I played an absolute banger of a 4-6am slot to a packed dancefloor. Good times. 9/10 2023 Was weird being back as one of our mates who was core crew passed away. We did some ceremonies with the shamans before our field opened which was pretty cool. I made it to see The Foos which were another teenage fave of mine and also managed to get on TV at Amadou & Mariam. Spent quite a bit of time at Rimskis Yard this year and hope to in 24 too. Strained to see Badly Drawn Boy over a massive crowd which then cleared for Richard Thompson who made me teary. My DJ gig was meh.. but sh*t happens! Joined the massive crowd at Pyramid for Elton and then came back to finish off the festival with friends. We all had a lovely sunnny Monday morning hanging with the Peace Garden lady and drinking Mezcal. 9/10

It was just Insta w*nkers there last year. Nobody seemed to have anything complimentary to say about it
