Set your lockscreen background to a screenshot of a written text stating the numbers of two friends at the festival who they can contact in the event of a lost phone.

Read all these posts looking for new wisdom and it's all stuff I've seen/ thought of before, but this is a new one on me, and a great idea. Well done!

I've got into a "bad" habit (depending on one's opinion) of taking very few photos, due to the fact that it's all too familiar.

When I do take photos I use a real camera.

Something else for me to lose 😄

It's great being in the moment and not worrying about taking shots, but it does mean that loads of memories are lost. Going to try for more this year

Been said elsewhere but I also include my address in the back of the phone case along with some cash to cover cost of postage and a pint for the finder

Most phones have the ability to put a message on the locked screen for years (I think I got the idea on here) mine reads "ICE call (wife's name) (phone number)"

Don't fret about: which car park, which Pedestrian gate, how far it is to the campsite, how long the queues are, where the nearest compost loos are (longdrops are fine) etc, etc

It's a fun weekend with many surprises, it doesn't require military level planning.

Everything you need is there, and most things you want.

Whatever happened to just turning up with a sleeping bag, a tent and a few quid?

First night, go to the firework display and then after head to Deluxe Diner/Rocket Lounge in between Shangri-La and the Unfairground. 

Oh, absolutely this! Rocket Lounge has been my favourite Wednesday place for years 🙂

Love that so much. I’d say the whole thing is the best advice for a newbie you could get.

Good advice which I need to take.....I turn up like a doomsday prepper with enough food and clothes to last a year 😂
