Essentials are:

- clothes

- ticket

- money

- tent and sleeping stuff

That's really it.

Oh, medicine if you need it.

Everything else is niceties and luxury.

Our mantra when doing a mental check that we've got everything is "Something to sleep in, under and on." Then at least we've got the essentials covered.

But it is soo true.

I often joke about expecting all sorts of weather except snow and showers of frogs, but being Glastonbury, I'm not discounting the shower of frogs

For the cold nights, long woolen socks and a woolen overshirt sorts me out. I prefer a shirt to a jumper as if it is nippy but still too warm for a jumper, I can leave it undone. Also it is a a good thing to wear near open fires (wool does not ignite like a fleece) and under a waterproof (so avoiding the cold clammy feeling you get with most waterproofs).

An old levis dockers woolen shirt could be picked up quite cheap, itchy wool army shirt often can be found under £10 or one from one of the retro stalls onsite does me fine (pendleton or simmilar styles).
