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

[Neil]

i tried getting in my campervan and getting myself onto the bed properly (good enough for sleeping) and into the passenger seat thru the passenger door, both difficult with my limited mobility, but i did it.:)

Just put my trusty old Eurohike 265TS 3 person tent up to check her over. Went up very easy as always. A few nicks on the pole runs but nothing for me to worry about. All clean inside and I had forgotten how big the porch area is. It's like a separate room. I did have my eye on a Fresh and Black with porch but life is getting expensive and I've never had sleep/leak issues with my Eurohike (which has seen all the different types of weather Glastonbury can experience). Very pleased. All packed away now, ready for the festival 🏕️🙂

Done a few little jobs on my van - snagging and decor really.

We did the conversation ourselves but they’re a never-ending project really (in a good way)

It’s perfect, even the occasional perfectly timed cloud as well. I remember being at Car Cox’s house and disco set at the Glade in 2019 and the everyone cheered when the tiniest cloud blocked the sun for about 2 minutes.

Wasn't at that, but was at Craig Charles in Shangri-la on Friday afternoon, which felt like being in an oven, especially as it's a south facing stage

Was at both and the Craig Charles seemed hotter to me, but I was in the shade for Carl Cox

Yes I was at that, after Smoove and Turrell on the same stage, and by the end felt quite ill.  Ended up going back to my tent early as I had a banging headache.  I think if it's that hot again this year, I'm going to have to change my behaviour to take some time out of the heat of the day.

Great news! They're awkward moves in the lithest of times. Confident a bit of festival spirit will spur you on even more come June. 

I bought a reduced Rumpl blanket that I have been eyeing up for months because I absolutely need it as a priority, and am just making a playlist of announced bands ready for some clashfinder times in a few weeks.

Ours was converted for us but by now I think I've replaced everything and redone it all! Repainted our chalkboard bonnet and boot this weekend. Did a deep clean and washed all the fabrics. Going through the van tomorrow looking for any internal jobs, and touch wood (well MDF) that bit will be ready!.

I've put about 20 miles in my new boots and new trek trainer's ... Feel good but also bought a couple of packs of compeed just incase. New wellies are correct size but still move about around my heel so need something sorting there 🤔

Finished my 2nd of 4 12 hour shifts over the BH Weekend, at least it's all double time for next payday.

[dotdash79]

Sorted out the festival box, reducing the amount we are taking. 

[sedra]

Practiced walking  0.2mile to Tesco and then back again- having problems walking much further without pain in hip. 😩 think I may need to buy a walking stick! 

[Walter Sobchak]

Bought a quick drying camplng towel 🙂

[mjfiddy]

Watched a YouTube video to remind myself how to fold down a pop up tent… it’s been too long, and does not take much to forget.

Set up a Notion area so we can start planning our trip. Tickets are paid up, flights are booked, now the fun part of actually mentally accepting it's happening this time.

[dotdash79]

Been charging up the battery packs let’s see how they hold the charge now

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

Washed my sleeping bag, it needed it.

[SecretFish]

Tent went up today. All in working order. Tick. 

[SecretFish]

Also drank some Thatchers Katy which i soon realised was 7.4%. Good times

Katy is a lovely girl on the night but she makes you pay for it the day after
