How to lug your booze up to Rocknessy

[punkincowcat]

We are getting the coach to Rockness this year.

Apart from my spirits I plan on taking an 8 pack of cola, 10 pack of cider can and 10 pack of lager cans. I will have one rucksack which will I will be able to make room for one of the crates but definately not the rest. I was thinking of taping the crates to a sledge but do not trust putting this on the coach as it may be stolen. I also thought about using a small rucksack and putting this on my front, but not sure if this will be too awkward.

Any suggestions?

no matter what...it's awkward carrying that much. Your plan is pretty much what everyones plan is.

Last year I carried 48 cans in. I put 24 in 2 of those hemp type, canvas Tesco bags. I'm a big bloke but sure you can manage your amount in 2 bags

there doesn't seem to be an easy way of carrying booze. i put some in my rucksack then just carry the rest in those big beastly carrier bags you get from the supermarket. at least it's not too far to walk at rockness.

I used one of these for about 10 festivals, was a treat...make sure everything is in boxes/crates to make it especially easy. Fell apart a couple of years ago though.

Use one of these for Glastonbury now though, doubt it will ever fall apart! Also doubt I'd use it for Rockness, bit over kill haha

If you pack your rucksack right you can easily get more cans in.

I take a satchel and fill it with all my clothes (rolled up)

this leaves my bag for my air bed in the bottom bit, toiletries and sunglasses and stuff like bags and wet wipes in the side. Drink in the middle, easilly get around 20 cans in there.

Then the top bit has air pump and the now infamous mystery biscuits. (are they chocolate wafer, digestive bars, choco-orange things who knows)

The other festival I go to on public transport Bestival I take one of these:

Great bit of kit big pneumatic tyres and it folds up so you can put it behind the seat on the train. I actually bungee my rucksack to it and put a crate or two on the bottom then I only actually have to carry a small rucksack on my back.

This is another argument for the legalisation of recreational drugs, they hardly weigh anything

I normally just carry about 30 cans in a holdall then stick my vodka and whatever else in my rucksack. As has been said it's not too bad at Rockness as there's alot less walking involved.

The problem isn't trying to fit all of your booze into the one bag, it's the weight of it. I could probably get most of mine in my rucksack, but I need to spread the weight between a few different bags. If all of my booze was in my rucksack I wouldn't be able to stand up.

Drink it all on the way up

Or just do what i do and go in 10 metre sprints and then collapse. Then man up and run another ten metres. Then repeat!
