To the right as you look at it? And is that an ice cream van?

Yes, to the right of the Pyramid when when you're in the crowd. Not sure if it's an ice creeam van, haven't been myself but read on here it's apparently there.

Excellent, thanks. As I'm looking to camp there that would be very convenient!

Another vote for Coleman Xtreme. Ice cold drinks left on Monday without even a cube of ice added.

My tip is dont be such a wet wipe that is so prepared they bring all sorts of extra camping equipment just to cover all eventualities. It makes you sound like you lead a very dull existence, like a Mark Corrigan but even sadder. 

Cans get cold in your tent overnight so they are normally chilled in the morning. This is a good time to drink a few. After that, they will warm up, but im afraid that is tough sh*t. Is drinking a lukewarm beer really that terrible? You are in a middle of a field mate. If you really cant handle it, go to the bar and pay £6.50 for a chilled pint of Carlsberg.

Or take a sturdy coolbox and have ice cold ones all weekend?

I didn't think you were allowed to drink under 18 years old

Don't feed the troll.

[deebeedoobee]

My tip is take a space blanket and wrap it around your cool box. That along with frozen contents keeps things cool all weekend.

Yeh but... They aint going, hence spending their time on here trying to troll others... 

[Jacksamthompson]

Tell me more about 'the PPP', sounds really cool? Do you and your little friends run around pretending you are at a mash up in a field which you base your existence around, even throughout the rest of the calendar year? You might want to see someone about that old chum 😉

[Alvoram]

Wait, who's the troll here... Only person catching a bite is @deebeedoobee 🙈😂

Here? 

I don't recall anything that side before Mandela, but others will know better. 

[Crazyfool01]

the ice cream van bottom right of the field was moved away because of crowd congestion i presume ? along that wall is wateraid refill points ? not sure where would do ice ? 

[gherkin8r]

The place selling ice is further right than that, it's a wee shop that does tobacco products, sweets and some.basic camping equipment. Reliably has stock until at least 12 in my experience. There's another shop with the same people in the markets area, too and a few other places including the co op do ice but stock seems less reliable/ predictable.

Yeah you could be right, never really paid much attention to the branding, colours etc. It might just say "shop" or similar and has a board that they put out the front with "ICE" in ice cube style font lol

Used to be another place that did ice as you go past the blues and gully in silver Hayes towards the wee bridge into river meade campsite. Not sure if it's still there as I wasn't down that way at all last year.

How much is the ice? 6 quid a bag at Bearded this year

£5 last year so probably £20 this year if general prices are anything to go by

It was certainly reasonable at co op and for a  big bag
