Been up the loft to get all the stuff down to go through and make a list of what’s missing 

what a great rug!

Not been used since Leeds Festival 2006 I think. Needed a good scrub as was filthy. Also found a copy of the NME from 1993 whilst up in the loft.

Fixed the leak above the chimney in the van by adding a new flashing yesterday. It rained today, so I know it works.

Nearly finished the interior panneling. Next up - flooring.

The race is on.

Once you're happy, please share some pics...

Popped in to Waitrose.....

Got my caravan out from it's hiding place at the bottom of the garden, ready for its annual clean, and to see whats been living in it since last year 🙂

I needed to move some slabs to move the car, and this chap was less than impressed at being woken up so early on a bamnk holiday:

helped him out to a safer place away from car wheels and all is well 🙂

 

Jesus Christ! I'm fairly certain that you are the winner of what lengths one would go to in order to get to Glastonbury. A remarkable achievement.

Bottom picture looks like the fucking Last of Us, mate!

started the packing list.. aiming to be a bit more strategic this year. my back and my knee are a mess and won't withstand too much weight without giving in.

gone on a couple of long walks (for me anyhow) aiming to do a lot more over the run up to the festival

placed an order for breakfast bars - will try them out in advance, just for eating at camp in the morning before we set off for something more substantial

Just completed my online Glastonbury Site Safety Induction.

Save loads of time at the gate, as it has to be done anyway.

Don't worry - not for punters.

Can you imagine, 150000 punters all having to do an induction before they get their wristband

Bought a new light for my tent, this will be my first year with a black out one so I think I will need a decent lamp in the tent.

[Frenger]

bought cans of espresso martini (thanks for the code) and researching new tent to buy (discovered a hole when setting up last year - still used for one more camping trip but won't risk it this year).  Starting to get excited now the sun is out!

When did you last use it, or had you just decided it needed a refurb this year?

I knew it needed a refurbishment last year... wasn't sure whether to scrap it or not but we love it too much.  Used it at Easter and the bench/bed cushions got soaked underneath from the rising damp. Had to be done 🤑

I did a test run of getting my popup tent down last weekend, whilst giving it a good airing in the nice weather. I hate the Monday struggle of flipping it down when I'm absolutely spent.

Not this year!

Also, gonna have to buy some tent pegs when I land in Bristol as they have gone missing... 

[the beadle]

Got the email offering me and my mates to work again, so had to get hold of them for their details, sent them off and hey presto, see you next month. Tomorrow things start properly.

[squirrelarmy]

Replaced the faulty light in my hat then changed the rest of the lights as the new one was brighter than the rest.

Well I bought myself some walking boots on the off chance that it's a bit wet.  Got them for about 65 quid so not too bad if I don't have to use them.

Oh, and I've been singing like Heather Small all day for some reason.

[gazzared]

Bought some new boots, I normally get a couple of years out of these .
