I'll probably need help I always buy pop ups but the one I have is a standard then it's gonna cause problems

[jake.b.overton]

Still means you have all day Tuesday to pack & go on Wednesday?

Nope will start work Tuesday morning at 10.30, have to leave mine at 9 to get there on time so no time to pack until I get home at 10

There will be plenty of us to help putting up tents! A couple years back we made the mistake of getting one of those massive 10/12 man tents for our group. It took so long we left it half way and did a beer run before coming back to finish it   

I put mine up yesterday (pop-up thank god!) to make sure it's still waterproof. Need a fucking PhD in origami to get the thing back in the bag.

I've brought a pop up every festival I've went to and I always try to get it back in the bag and always end up leaving it or setting it on fire. My financial situation isn't good because of it.

I'm gonna be bringing a pop-up as well that belongs to my cousin's daughters so it's got colorful butterflies all over it Hahahaha, but I've mastered how to put it back in the bag today. So you won't need to burn your tent

I feel your struggle, my tent is still half hanging out the bag right now ahaha, it's going to the festival like it too, I'm not trying anymore.

 

You'd think they could make the bags just a little bit bigger...

[JustNick]

I might not need one myself but dude you are a legend

 

Haha, cheers man! I don't really feel right trying to sell a £15 face value ticket for something stupid like £50 like a lot are doing - I'd rather someone else have as good a time as I know I'm going to

 

And a bit of tent teamwork sounds handy, haven't tested mine yet.

[foihnula]

I'm good at putting pop up tents back in their bags happy to lend a hand.

So close now. And time is going so slowly.

[Chris_Hayter88]

Happy to help with anything, I'd hate to see people struggling

[ZepplinD]

I might need to put a couple hours in the office Thursday morning - maybe 7am-9am - then drop my two dogs off with a mate and I'll be on my way.  I'm hoping to arrive sometime around 2/2:30pm so hopefully there will be some decent space left for my tent.  I'm bringing my smaller tent so I wont need much room.  I'm pretty decent at putting up tents although I do not yet have my PhD in Origami, but I'm willing to lend a hand. 

[laylas1995]

On my last camping trip I mastered the art of folding pop up tents, but that was a year ago so will be interesting to see if I can remember how to do it!

[dredawwg]

I don't know if it's been mentioned but is anyone planning a tesco shop trip on Thursday afternoon? I want to go and stock up on food/drink; would be too heavy carry it all from home.

[foihnula]

I think we're all going on the Thursday at some point

[Chris_Hayter88]

Yeah, that would be great!

[Berty]

Does anyone know what size the lockers are?

[Chris_Hayter88]

Small enough to fit valuables in.

[Berty]

Right, big enough for some clothes an a wash bag do you think?

[Chris_Hayter88]

Unfortunately not!

[bca]

Right, big enough for some clothes an a wash bag do you think?

Not at all. They're just about big enough for your phone wallet and keys!

Reading royally ripping us off again!

 

On a side note do you ever think we'll see the standardisation of festival prices, they're getting beyond belief now...

 

To think once upon a time you could walk into Glastonbury for free and see David Bowie perform

They really should regulate it a bit better!

Found this on the website:

 

`personal item lockers` are approximately 250mm wide x 155mm deep x 100mm high stacked 16 high.

[ZepplinD]

When are they going to release the set times?
