Rent-a-son coming to Glasto 2023. I'm expecting an announcement in the next few weeks. Maybe alongside the Kids Field.

TBF he will work for beer and will have been there since Sunday at that point.

What rucksack have you got?  FWIW I managed last year on coach to get everything in or on my bag (including tent) and travel hands free. I've got an army surplus bergen with the side pouches, cost me about £60 years ago if you're in the market for something that can take the capacity.

It's an Osprey rook so OK. I'll find a way. I'm thinking tactical holes in the bad reinforced with gaffer tape. An Army bergen is the king of bags

Is the mat held with anything? like two loops to keep it in place? Could you get the straps round that? 

Or tie string round said mat, then loop straps through?

This looks and sounds very nice, altho I'm not able to drink tequila straight.

I'm always torn between paying out a bit more on spirits for a fest or just going for the home brand stuff as I'll just mix it anyway.

Might treat myself to some Don Papa or Dead Man's Fingers.

As a non-attendee this year, I have completed my alternative weekend by booking a flight to Sweden on the Sunday.

Will have to record Elton on the box. Gothenburg - and Bruce Springsteen - are calling.

Yeah it's not too woody (as reprosados go) and smooth/peppery.

This isn't too harsh, and part of it will be used for tommys margaritas in the morning at camp.  (agave syrup, lime juice, tequila- shaken) and ice if ya boujee . 

I have a different brand last year, and took pride in taking 500mls out with me every day with some shot glasses. Always fun to offer tequila to folk. 

It's always better to invest when it comes to tequila- That one with the sombrero can do one. 

 

I had some coffee dead mans fingers last year too, that was pretty nice.
