Small rucksack for during the day

[Scouse Andy]

Ok, I'm going with the general opinion that £30 is excessive. Any idea where best to look? Like I say, argos looks to be of no use.

I got a black man bag from Blue Inc for £9.99, will carry a can of red bull, wallet mobile, camera and a water bottle with a carbina will attach nicely to it

!!! LINKY !!!

I HAVE AN EASTPAK BUMBAG!

I've got a canvas manbag which I got a few years back in Barcelona, and taken it to loads of festivals and parties. It holds 8 cans of lager and a bottle of water / mixer, as well as other useful supplies.

Last year on the Sunday I also used a larger rucksack has had loads of beers left. It was really handy whilst watching bands on the Pyramid and Other Stages, but when I went to Trash City afterwards, it got in the way a bit.

Ermm so I won't get laughed out of the festival if I take a bumbag? It would be soooo much easier than a backpack!

Guardian drawstring bag for me, does the job nicely.

Only use a bag for carrying cans in and it gets annoying carrying an empty one at the end of the night, this way you can donate to some needy stranger / bin once you've drank its contents and get another with your morning paper the next day.

I think this is necessary. I always take a bag and find it very useful. However I would steer clear of a rucksack as a mate had on one year and had a load of stuff nicked out of it in front of the pyramid. A good side bag is needed.

oooh fancy, but nice, if I see it at the festival I'll demand beer for my hard work

Recycle is the name of the game

Get a guardian on the first day, last couple of years it comes in a cloth drawstring bag/mini ruck sack thingamy, its just about the right size, though the 'strings' could be a bit longer (I prefer to wear mine snapsack style across one shoulder with the bag resting in the small of the back).

[glastofun]

you get it free when you buy the guardian on site

[hombrederayo]

you need some sort of bag: just enough to carry enough cans as you can fit, your waterproofs etc.

[dockie2]

Ohhh the plastic bag ones? I misunderstood.

[ukslim]

I take a little daysack I got from Walmart. Asda/etc. probably have similar.

Holds programme, bottle of water, any other crap I pick up along the way.

[chuckley]
