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

I did some insole investigation and got a bit stressed about the talk of train strikes 😬

Ordered one of these camp beds from decathlon. Should be more comfortable than a self-inflating mat on its own, but will add nearly 4kg to my bag.

i looked at getting one of these but decided it was just an extra thing to carry, so ended up buying a inflatable mattress to replace my old self inflating one which no longer inflates

The tent has arrived, test run tomorrow. 
 

Self inflating mattress has been ordered 💪

Dug out my festival wardrobe so I can see just how much shopping I'll need to do thanks to the lockdown weight gain.

I did that a few weeks ago as I've got a holiday coming up next week. I had to buy a whole new shorts collection! 😄

We dipped in to Shindig festival for the day with all 3 of our boys. Dusted off our festival pushchair and got a sense for the chaos that will be the Big G..!

What mattress did you go for? We’re going to order one this week.

Get a self-inflating foam mattress.

Got the rest of the Glastonbury stuff out of the loft yesterday. Bought a couple of items of clothing during the week. Things I need anyway but will also be suitable for Glastonbury. Have created a couple of sample set playlists as well.

Lots. Mrs Q was away so yesterday was basically kit prep and drinking cider.

Picked up a collapsible camp bed from Blacks, tested it at home with my thin self inflating mattress and pillow. Might actually get some decent kip this year. 

Got the tent out, reminded myself how to put the damn thing up and re-waterproofed it.

Washed the sleeping bag. Tested the camping stove and tent lights. Started the proper packing pile in the garage. Dug out some of the little bits and pieces like pint cup, water bottles, diffraction glasses and some other nonsense.

Drank Thatchers.

[Suprefan]

Trying to figure out how to put all of that in a couple suit cases and not go over the weight limit for the flight.

Packing cubes for clothes are a god send. I flew to the Netherlands with a whole 4 man tent in my suitcase, it can be done 😆

24 days to get your shit sorted .... Just saying 🙂 ..... no need to panic ..... 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Got gas serviced in my old caravan so I'll have a fridge! Yessssss! Also got a spare key cut for my friend so if we lose each other she can still get in. Bought a box of red wine. Getting there!

I hope that still contains some washing liquid … otherwise I’d recommend a trip to the doctor 

[waynewdk]

Just starting to put an excel spreadsheet packing list together, everyone likes a good spreadsheet, feel free to post me your lists, thanks

[Crazyfool01]

Going through my battery packs …I think I’ve got enough … especially as the plan is to reduce need for them this year

Have Arcadia asked you to power the spider this year?

Not yet … although they have been solar charged 🙂

I am testing if the not-used-in-the-past-three-years self inflating mats are self inflating. Looks like we may need one replacement.

That's a good idea, I'll add that to my list!

Browsing for info on why it's not really self inflating, it could be that the length of time it spent rolled up may play, so will leave mine unrolled until tomorrow. Not really sunny hear so can't try that but on the other hand it should be working decently even if it's not a heatwave...
