What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2022?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ach. Not a fan of spiced rum, which is a pity as that's the stuff that tends to dominate in the main supermarkets.

[kalifire]

Booked my train ticket from London to Frome.

Just have to line up the overnight taxi to the B&W Showground now.

My mobile phone lanyard arrived today so I don't bloody lose it.  Shout out to a chap on the fb Glasto boards whose name I don't remember, great idea.

Ooh this is tempting, I’m such a liability for losing things that I’ve started using one of these when I go out in real life:

WILLWELL SPORT Running Belt - Fitness Belt, Flip Waist Belt with pockets, Waist Pack Belt. Hydration belt.Great for Carrying Keys, Phones, Cards and Cash. Suitable for Men And Women. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076P8M1MW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZAC7MBQN6WV09Q7N6XZJ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I tuck it under my trousers and boxers so it’s impossible for anything to fall out, as I have lost my keys, card holder and phone on countless occasions. I was going to do the same at Glasto (obviously don’t need keys but for my phone and card) because I don’t always like carrying a bag round the whole time, but this might be a good option for the phone instead.

Sorting the "travel and camping crap" boxes. Amazing how many headlights we have...!

[Hawros]

She’s a beauty… (and super comfy)

Main activity is feverish efests activity. Lower key is slight increase in gin consumption and walked the dog. 

[jimmillen]

Spurred by looking something up from another thread, went down a proper wormhole of previous festivals detailed stage times on the website. 

Properly increased the excitement levels. There is just so much on!

Sure, the main stages are great and all, but there’s nothing like finding a tiny act you love on a random venue. 😍 Cannot wait till we see this years full times…

Despite having three copies of the hardback version of the Glastonbury book (obvious present for people to buy me), I have never read it properly as it's a bit cumbersome to hold.  Today I downloaded the kindle version for £2.99 which I will probably actually read (and then I can look at the pictures in the big book).

[gazzared]

Bought new wellies, boots, trainers and XL shirts as L no longer fits.

I like how you put it in the second part - definitely hasn't got the impact factor of smoke bombs / flares. Based on the lineup this year I think we could be fairly free of them too, nobody is standing out to me so far as a 'flare act'

I imagine quote a few will be going flares out for fender. 

 

[secondr0w]

Logged into efests for the first time in probably 2.. maybe 2 1/2 years to see what rumblings are going on! Oh I've missed this!:D

Yeah maybe - foals too perhaps. Neither are your courteeners / kasabian exactly though

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I’m expecting a lot of flares for Foals, first (indie) headliner since 2019.

I'd imagine Courteeners will be playing, they do it every year.

Bought some new walking boots yesterday and took them on their 2nd walk this morning to start wearing them in! Was a bit unsure whether to buy new ones so close to Glasto, but decided I can use the time well to up my walking fitness and wear them in. Actually splashed out and spent over 100 quid on this pair, to replace the last few pairs of about 35 quid. Hopefully these will last longer! 

[nikkic]

Watched the Lost Vagueness documentary on Netflix last night. 

Well worth a watch. 

Great insight into how it all began and ultimately how things evolved to Shangri La. 

[sedra]

Looked on internet at 4/5 man tents we can stand up in rather than 2 x3 man tents and an extra trolley as worried about the long walk in from East car parks with a recent mobility issue. Normally end up  parked  up in E8 and walk through campervan fields but am wondering if they will be using more of the car parks for campervan space this year since West has gone. I noticed the area had increased last time on the 2019 map. 

[kaytee...]

5 days deep with covid so watched pretty much every Glasto vlog going on YouTube. Dug out the camping bits and gonna air out the tent. Dreading it cos it's been in the bag since Leeds fest last year, good job I can't smell anything 😷

Buying some stuff to give the pyramid a 🇺🇦 theme 

[DirtyLurker]

Found a rogue carabiner whilst spring cleaning - had a ridiculously overexcited minute or so pulling out the backpack with festival odds & sods in.

Still not really sunk in that in 82 days I'll be at Glastonbury 😮

Oh sorry but can I recommend you just read the book! It’s such a beautiful thing and turning the actual pages for the first time is an absolute delight 😂😂

Tbf, I'll probably switch between the two - but knowing I can read a bit on the go or in bed will make it easier for me I think.

Good call. Also sprucing my hat up with more yellow to go with the blue. 

[prog seller]

I washed my sleeping bag. I hate to admit its not been washed since first use and the last festival I went to was Bestival 2017 🤐 oops. Now it smells lovely 😄

Well reminded. Mines been bagged up with my tent since Sziget 2019. I better check that it’s not rotten.
