Buying / preordering camping gear at glasto

[anx]

So i'm travelling around on my own and won't be able to carry tons and tons of stuff, so I saw in another thread you can buy the gear online and have it there ready for pickup at the festival! what a great idea!!

I'll still have to drag this stuff back home (where ever that is...) and up to scotland for T In The Park a week or two later...

I'm not from the UK so I dont really know any of the brands or prices... I was hoping the good people of these forums could tell me

a) is this stuff going to be warm enough, not just for Glasto but T In The Park, I suppose as long as the tent holds up I can always buy more blankets..

Is it decent value for money or is it priced for convenience?

1 person camping pack.. £35.00

It might be worth looking at Milletts on line, I think they do orders you can pick up at the festie. If you order online you will probably get more choice than what they have on their stall at the festie. it would be awful to arrive and find they don't have anything suitable. Their own brand is Eurohike but they do others as well, and also do packs for festivals. They are a well known high street type store specializing in camping and outdoor gear so may be better than joe bananas for the tent etc, but JB are great for blankets and other sundries. Have fun!!
