The only problem with the arena toliets is the worlds most awkward urinals. Standing less than a foot away from a p*ssed, skinhead Limp Bizkit fan with nothing but a thin metal mesh seperating us was an experience I have no intention of reliving.

One trick I have found & I normally only do this when camping with out my gf is to put my two shitty Gelert Quickpitch/Quickdraw 2 man pop up tents in one bag. They both fit snug in one disc bag & isn't any heavier than my Eurohike 3 man pop up tent. Comes in handy to put your camps spare chairs & booze in.

ALWAYS TAKE A CAMP CHAIR. Nobody likes sitting on the floor when everyone else is comfy & at the same height in chairs. Also you get more of the heat from the fire, you can hang clothes off them & handy for putting my boom box on.

NEVER LEAVE YOUR CAMP CHAIR OUT WHEN NOT AT CAMP... it will get stolen.

by Thursday night there were 3 chairs left 2 of which had holes in and only two legs...

[matt123]

Alternatively, invest in a blow up chair like I intend to do this year. Just keep it away from the fire.

[j-j-j-j-joe!]

We had about four chairs between a group of about 20 because most of us forgot them. Caused a lot of hassle, and by hassle I mean me having to force my friend out of a chair using the leg that had broken off another one.

The moral is: bring a chair.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Good idea but i could see it getting popped withing the first day aha

I've never had a chair at a festival. I sit on the ground. I am hardcore.

At Beach Break last year, out of a group of 20 of us, only myself & the girlfriend brought a camp chair. By the end of the first evening all 20 of us were sitting comfortable in chairs. I had no idea where they came from. Tbh I always take neighbours chairs when they leave them out but I always give them back.

Socks, take an abundancy of socks.

If you're the type of guy that drinks beer, make sure you take huge ammounts of tinnies. Taking large quantaties of Vodka and other spirits may seem like a great space-saver in hindsight, but you'll run out of beer quickly, and be subjected to drinking straight vodka in all likelihood, which we all know is pretty mingin. Take a little bit of spirits as a top up job, or for shots before you all go out at night and such. I'm only taking a 2 liter bottle of vodka or such for this year, stackign stella in the masses for actually drinking.

Again, don't know if you're the type, but if you're taking drugs, take your own. There was some really dodgy drugs being sold in Yellow last year, and at least you've got some scope for how real/safe the drugs are if you bring your own.

Apart from that, I got myself a fine tweed jacket from Oxfam last year, and it kept me warm as ever during the 5am binge that me and my friends were on. I'd reccomend a tweed to anyone looking to enjoy the full festival experience. Tweed.

If we just get the tickets, minus the early bird, what day will we be allowed into the campsites?

Last year I turned my back for a second whilst having a quick whizz, a friend had his head in the tent and his bumming sticking out, by the time we both turned round at the same time both our chairs were gone!

Id be very reluctant to buy off a stranger off a festival.

[Bisque]

And can only second the drugs thing, pretty much every night we had people walking round offering us different things, and some friends of ours that were camping elsewhere said that a few of them had a bad turn on some stuff they'd bought, so although it goes without saying, Id be very reluctant to buy off a stranger off a festival.

Jumpers

Socks and Underwear

Pop up tent

Sleeping bag

Toiletries

Water (Orange Juice- Alcohol can get too much at times, a sit down with or OJ is quite nice)

Pretty much the must take guide, other than that it's all down to personal preference, IE Trousers/Shorts, Wellies/Boots and so on and so forth.

I saw someone crack open a large pack of the cheap Tesco energy tablets (a bit like Pro Plus) & then proceed to sell them to a load of neon clothed & school leaver hooded teenagers for £5 a pill. He shifted the whole packet.
