your way to a perfect summer

By Neil Greenway | Published:

With the camping festival season about to kick into full-flow, we bring you a timely reminder of the very best festival tips.

Don’t take anything you can’t afford to lose.
Remember the essentials: ticket, enough money, sun cream, loo roll, wet wipes, & bin bags.
Whatever the forecast, take clothes & comfortable footwear for all weathers. Remember: it gets cold at night, and flip-flops are hell in mud!
Don’t get dehydrated - drink enough water.
Don’t pitch your tent near the toilets! Make sure that wherever you do camp that you remember its location by looking at what’s around you.
Make friends with those camped near you so that they can help watch your stuff, and you can help watch theirs.
Don’t do too much or over do it. Pace yourself through the festival and don’t plan for every minute - let yourself go with the flow.
If you get lucky, stay lucky – use a condom!
Look after yourself, look after each other.
Leave bad attitudes at home – the festival is what you make it!

Wherever you go this summer, have a fantastic time!
