haha i just like something sturdy to drink with at the campsite and ive already got it.

I scour the charity shops for old pewter tankards. Usually pick em up for a couple of quid. Got a decent selection now. Lighter and sturdier than your Stein.

Ticked off most of my list of stuff I needed to buy. Some stainless steel cups arrived off Amazon today and they're great. Perfect for spirits, ice and mixer 🙂

Also purchased some Travel Johns (though they had a different name, and were a lot cheaper), a light up cheap watch and some Bulleit Bourbon. 

Having already bought my sleeping equipment (camping bed and a 5cm inflatable mattress, for the first time ever as opposed to an airbed on the floor), I am a few more snacks and booze crates away from being able to say I'm officially ready!

Was just about to purchase travel johns but there seems to be a lot of options on amazon for similar products that are cheaper. Which did you go for?

I saw these too. But they all seem to be smaller, in 'liquidage' 😕

Just don't drink cider from them. Leak nasties into your body.

Bought a collapsible bucket, instead of baby wipes.

Just bought a new SDXC Micro SD card for my camera (I won't be taking my phone). It's a Kingston 64GB for just over £6. Haven't bought an SD card for years. Was surprised by how cheap they are now.

Tried a couple of Backpacks for all my kit, now time to work out what footwear to wear as need to bed them in!

[EMorgz92]

Bought some bright pink sliders for round the campsite, spiced rum and some bottled water (once the water has been drunk, rum will replace it). Reorganised my Glasto pile into food, booze, and a bag of random bits like a headtorch, waterproof trousers, Sunhat etc.

Everyone knows you drink cider from a lemon (lemon, lemon)

But I don't wanna talk about it anymore

I have just removed the 2017 and 2019 stickers from my car windscreen, having had to buy some special spray from Toolstation. Works a treat though!

Just back from 2 weeks away in my campervan so am unloading it today ready to start packing ready for the festival

Thankfully a few things knocked off the to do list

Made a perfunctory list, merely by copying lay last one and tweaking.

I use the same list every year, tweaking you say, that's radical 🤔

[GlastoSlug95]

Tested my new SIM bed which upon initial testing is excellent way better than an airbed. 

Bought some w*nky tinned cocktails and cider to lug in for our group. 

Ordered random toiletries I don't have like not super sticky suncream, mini hand sanitizer, bar of shower gel, energy gel, rennies.

Yes I am updating my Glastonbury 2019 Trello board every day. 
 

Today I ticked quite a few items off the list. Battery checks done. Only one torch broken and decided that we had more than enough anyway. 

Box in garage prepared to start chucking the things we don’t need before the festival into. 
 

Have bought caprisuns and some juice cartons and have shoved them in the freezer. Tomorrow we’ll start operation get the Colman extreme very cold!

Took my caravan to Wychwood over the weekend, which always serves as a good checkout and dummy run for Glasto.  Will need a new calor gas bottle and a shelf for the fridge which fell apart over the weekend (the shelf not the fridge).  Other than that it's fine tuning the Wychwood checklist.  One thing I forgot to take was drinking chocolate.  I find a warming mug just before bed settles me down.  The joys of being an old fart!

Any pointers as to where to get a good Glasto list? Unfortunately I am not as lucky as you to have one from the last time as this is my first.

There must be some good lists somewhere on the internet - anyone any recommendations?

argued with my kid.

Put up the tent on the little green in front of our house.  New tent - bought it last year and only used it once, so I wanted to do a trial.  Went fine.  The hardest bit is getting it back into the bag.

[dotdash79]

We ordered a couple of these last week and they have arrived today. Perfect for carrying little bits and also water proof, with a zip.

Always.  Why don't they just make the bags a tiny bit bigger?

I've done a 7 mile walk with the dog to get my legs/feet used to it.  Need more miles in my legs definitely....

Aye, for years we rented a caravan, due to being saved by the efests resale crew from an uncertain fate I didn't get to rent the van and we're in Sticklinch - so travelling a wee bit lighter this time 🙂
