mynameisearl Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 As much as you want as long as it's for personal consumption. I usually take two 24 crates and at least a bottle of Southern Comfort, does me fine along with a few pints at bars over the weekend. If they think you are bringing too much booze, ie to sell it, they may take it off you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 take spirits (last year 4 or 5 litres vodka, 1 whiskey, 1 rum) buy beer/cider there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tugger2k Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 No limits on amount, you just cant take glass. and the site is a huge, rugged (farm like, some would say) landscape - if you've never been before it is very easy to underestimate the sheer hugeness of it and carrying stuff to whatever campsite you chose will be a right old pain in the donkey!

reas11 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 We camped outside the john peel tent last year and thought it was quiet handy for getting round to stages ect not that far of a walk from the coach station if i remember Think its something like 384 cans if my maths correct think im gonna have to persuade them out of this one!!!

Josie's Cat Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 With that much fluid how much is gonna be flowing out the other end? Your mates will spend the entire festival peeing! Spirits are way more sensible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laid back in the sun Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 if lagers your tipple then bring your own... flat carlsberg in a floppy paper cup aint nice and spills far too easily, after the first couple of tins you dont mind it being slightly warm. i bring a couple of bottles of brandy for coffees in the morning and late at night when its nippy and a twenty four tin slab for each day and just nip out to the car every couple of days to restock, saves a fortune over the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
