adam1234 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I am not leaving until the early hours of Thursday morning but won't have chance to pack tomorrow because of work and a football match. What are you taking this year? I have basically started this thread so that people can compare lists and see if thy have forgotten anything before it is too late. My list for Leeds, I will be packing it into a lrge holdall and a rucksack. I have two friends coming up early friday morning who are bringing me 24 cans 1 litre bottle of vodka and 2 2litre bottles of pop so i have less to carry on Thursday. 1 x wellies 1 x black pumps 5 x underwear 2 x football socks 2 x jeans 2 x shorts 5 x t-shirts 2 x hoodies 2 x wooly hat 1 x gloves 1 x scarf toothpaste toothbrush deodrant ect 12 cans of lager 1 smallish bottle of vodka 1 smallish bottle of jd 1 x sleeping bag How does this compare to your lists?

the wonderwhy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Think the only thing extra I have is wet wipes & an airbed I haven't got jeans though, nothing worse wet, so may as well spend the whole weekend in shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladbrokeboy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 just broke the zip on one of my bags but yeah started packing. glad i've come into this as a few of the things listed i forgot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eop Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I suffer the problem from being incredibly useless at packing and being lazy. So my bag is probably 4x larger than it could be and i'm to lazy to try pack it better. Hears my tip, if you haven't got a waterproof bag put your stuff neatly in bin bags in the bag. Never know could be peeing down while your trying to put your tent up. also they are then useful for various things during the fest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiallP10 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Do they sell chairs at the leeds site? cause that would be one less thing to worry about if they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam1234 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 They do sell camping chairs and stools but not sure how much they charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Okay, this is probably going to be obvious but I need to check, is there somewhere to wash my face everynight? I'm 17, just about managing to escape from spots now, so don't fancy having another breakout over the weekend & want to know if I can pack my spot cream Apologies if anyone finds that weird...

riizch Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Haven't even thought about packing yet. Probably should get that done at some point soon. Leaving at 9:45 Thursday morning. I've never bothered with the early bird tickets and never had a problem getting a camping spot that I actually wanted (probably because I'm usually in green), so that's the plan. Pack this afternoon and head off. I like to think I'm going to be minimalist when it comes to packing this year, but then, I've said that every year for over a decade and it's never happened. Damn my overly-cautious nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moss265 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Not packed yet, only got back to Guernsey last night and will be getting a flight early tomorrow morning. Tend to pack less and less the more festivals I go to. Essentials: Ticket/flight details/train times Cash Wet wipes Loo Roll Clothes Booze (Duty free!) Cigarettes Roll up Water Carrier Tent (check for pegs before setting off!) Sleeping Bag Plastic bags for sitting on/keeping stuff dry Minimal toiletries Will pick up some beers/food on the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm leaving in an hour and I've still not started. For some reason I'm sat with a cuppa watching Sky+d episodes of Pointless. Why aren't I getting up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackmypie Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Don't forget you're ticket to guys, last year I was dropped off and left my ticket in the car. Only found out just before I got to the canal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
