Finding your tent


Guest Lollypop1411

Call me boring and over-sensible but whenever ive camped ive always tried to position my tent near the corner of a particular field or near a particular feature like a lookout tower thingy. Makes things a lot easier when your stumbling about in the dark at silly o'clock trying to find the tent to get some shut eye.

I always like to be close enough to the toilets that its a short walk but not so close that people using them wake me up, i certainly do not camp down-wind of the toilets though!!

Never done Rockness but plenty of other fests (if you can find a tent at Glasto you'll find one anywhere). Try the right angle approach. Walk up a road or pathway till you have a turn off point at 90 degrees to your tent. Note where you turn off the road/path. Look to the distance beyond your tent and fix on an object or landmark (a tower/sound system). Then just walk in a straight line towards the landmark and you should find you tent.

Practice by daylight first.

Some good advice here. I'd have to agree that finding a landmark eg, toilets or stalls and work out what direction your tent is from there and try to remember anything noteable about the tents around you like flags etc...

Make sure that any landmarks are not moveable or likely to move. One year at Glasto I made a mental note that I'd parked my car next to a big red van. Problem was that the van left before me so no landmark and I spent ages trawling round the car parks trying to find my car.
