Reading/Leeds checklist

[inbetweendays]

Hi guys, I found a site which has got loads of FAQs for Reading/Leeds festival goers which would be particularly useful for first timers! It's also got a copy of a checklist that was taken from an old sight (RFO - some of you might have heard of it) which is really handy around festival time!

The second link takes you straight to the checklist!

Hope people find this useful. Enjoy!

You're a pussy if you need a mallet.

[mooseman]

I haven't read the list but last year I took 3 sets of clothes, a tent, sleeping bag, alcohol and some food. Anything else is a luxury and isnt needed.

[Davis_89]

All you need to take are an inflatable sofa, a sling shot and duct tape.

Did you not wipe?

You do not need extra clothes. You will smell like shit anyway.

Spare socks at most (or just buy them from tescos down there).

Tent, sleeping bag, sleeping mat.

Gazebos (more is better), camping chair, folding bbq with coal, radio.

A lot of booze, drugs (if thats your thing), water bottle, cash, bacci, plenty of rizlas (some stored seperate incase of downpour), phone, keys.

Wet wipes, ducktape.

All you need for a comfortable festival. Make sure you stock up on logs for firemaking at the festival, bacon and sausages from onsite market for morning bbqing.

I would not advise bringing much food, seriously, you'll give up and buy it on camp by the second tin of baked beans.

If you are truly hardcore you'll do what my mate did last year. 4 crates, £5 childs tent, paper, porn, bog roll, weed. Just slept in a campchair in an awning when his tent turned out to be a good water carrier.

no way do u need that much

[Bisque]

Always take a copy of FHM, Loaded, Front, Nuts, Zoo, Big Jugs (delete as appropriate) for a bit of early morning reading.

It's handy to put down the back of your rucksack too to prevent stuffs digging in your back.

If you get loads of stuff cheap and your not planning on taking stuff home then take the most you can carry cause it can just make things more funny.

How are more possessions funny?

Just a lot of things can make things more fun. That's what I was meant to say.

[jump]

So more clothes, more fun?

I think he's talking more about bags of poo, bottles and stones.

[BishSWFC]

Chairs and shit!

[Banana Co]

Surely its easier to just take the chairs and sort the shit when your there?

[Mega Ross]

So you don't take spare undies but you do take porn?

[Bisque]

I take my Freeloader solar charger to juice up my phone. Goes down very well with any girls who need to charge their phones.

Seriously though take as little stuff as possible. Tent, sleeping bag, minimal food to last 2 days if going wed, spirits 24 pack of beer (or equivalent), toilet roll, wet wipes, deoderant 5 or 6 lots of underware and socks (to avoid chafing) 3 pairs of shorts 4or 5 tshirts (in case of rain).

At a push a chair, although it will get broke or stolen quite quickly.

Anything else is not needed or is considered luxury. We took so much stuff last year we didn't get it to the camp until the sat bearing in mind we got there wed. We didn't use half of the stuff. We ended up taking half of our beer back 90 cans or so. There were 3 of us.

If you run out of beer on site (leeds) 24 cans are 24quid won't break the bank.

Did any of them suck your chode? If not then you got used.
