ok so id probably avoid taking a chair if you can or get mate to take it unless you have a really small one . id probably convert from beer / cider to spirits and make sure that is well sealed . I had a tent and large backpack that went in the hold of the coach . you can take a day bag sized bag onto the coach. Drinking the 2 times ive been the driver has requested strictly that we dont but I do know of other journeys where it's been entirely different . Id be prepared for either tbh and if the driver says dont then be aware you might be putting their job at risk if you do . I take a very small sleeping bag and carrymat for first night and then bigger versions for when I can access the carpark and I swap them over .
I mean like it's well cool and edgy to miss headliners etc but I can't believe I missed Oasis, Pulp and The Cure in 95, Radiohead in 97 and Primal Scream, Blur and Pulp in 98...I mean...wtf was I doing...dancing with some f**king hippies outside a chip van or something? (actually 97 and 98 were muddy and sh*t and in 98 we left on saturday morning).
I blame the people I was with. I think some dullard suggested seeing Goldie on Other/NME in 95 instead of Pulp and there was just us and a few others.
