abomb1969 Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 You can't beat a 1970's Silvercross: There is a 25kg tent under there, and room for a pram load of stuff on the top. Perfect storage for slabs of beer underneath too! If you see me heading down the hill of death being dragged behind it at 50mph give me a wave! We are taking our 2 wee kids this year, and they are going to be travelling around in this - although we will be avoiding crowds at night if possible, but its going to have 2 sets of led fairlylights and its own flagpole so people can see it in the dark. This will also double up as a trolley if needed, this way if either pram breaks we are going to be ok, vital with 2 kids to have a backup pram in case of breakage or theft! I personally prefer to transport the kids in the Silvercross, but OH seems to have other ideas. This year could be a bit different, although I have permission to bog off on my own in the evenings and the odd set in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenner Huey Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 Just bought one for £12,98 from the trade B&Q watford - big pneumatic wheels, but a pin to keep wheels on, so need to find something to use in case that breaks, although it looks sturdy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beermonster_c Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Bump - could be useful to some of us looking for trolleys ahead of this years Glasto. Bear in mind, links are 2 years old, so some may be broken / prices incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madyokel Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I'm surprised no one's screamed 'spam' yet. My thoughts on this wheelbarrow: - Needs a bigger front wheel - Needs a strut to go between the handles to stop the wheelbarrow trying to fold while you're using it - Because of the shape, most of the weight will have to be at the handle end, meaning that you're not carrying much weight on the wheel (compare this with a normal wheelbarrow, where the wheel's further back and the handles are longer). In short: I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. If you fixed the first two problems, I'd consider it a possibility.

grumpyhack Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Still reckon our Glastomobile created by bolting two B&Q sack trucks together takes some beating. Has survived for four years now. Advantages over a sledge: greater carrying capacity and you can have people pushing as well as pulling. Drawbacks: bulky to transport in a car. General comment: no steering, deliberately because steering pivots are weak points. Most of Glasto is straight lines. When you want to turn you just lift up the back end, take fresh aim and start off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandypants Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 On the way into any festival you will see broken golf trolleys and folding wheelbarrows - sure fire proof that they are absolute cods for festy use. I use a fairly basic sack barrow but I'm thinking of upgrading it for next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkgirl1981 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 this is mine it was good but the gaps on the bottom were quite big, sometimes the crate of beer/cider slipped through so you have to take a bit of time to stck things so they stay on the trolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UEF Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I had the four wheel pull-along trolley from B+Q for about £30 and someone broke it (don't ask) - wish they still did em. Prices have gone way up - they're all about £80 online now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
