Now we know why Madonna pulled out, she wanted a double pointy pyramid stage.

Still buzzing from getting coach tickets on Thursday.

 

Decided it is time to join the F&B club as no one seems to have a bad word to say about them and we struggled with the heat last year in our old faithful Glasto tent.  Gone for the 4.1 with poles so decent porch too.

I think, for the purposes of research, that youll have to have a little snifter and review on this very thread. Ahead of the festival, obvs.

Might well be tempted but not sure I’m great at recommendations though 🙂

They have a coconut and lychee one, that sounds amazing - the pineapple and grapefruit sounds good too. I do like a rum, but i like a bash of it before dropping £25 on a bottle. Got to see if i can spy it in a pub at some point so i can try it 👍

Yeah I saw that … went for this one as it was a few quid cheaper in Asda

In my making an effort to lose weight I walked up and down a mountain today. Pen-y-Ghent to be precise!

Been delving into the line up a bit more this weekend. 

The undercard is winning the day for me, once we get SH, Arcadia and the rest of the SE corner there’s going to be loads of clashes .

update - thought I would pop this up today. Can confirm it takes 2 seconds to put up and 3 x YouTube videos and about an hour to pack away!

Those tents can be little bastards to get back into their holder. Yes there's a way to do it, and yes you get it right a few times, but not enough times to make up for all the half arsed failures. I had a four man pop up. I managed to partially break one of the supports trying to get the f**king thing to get into its bastard holder. The pole had partially ruptured with fibres (of which the pole is constructed) now broken. And where did this 'spectacle' take place? None other than Glastonbury. It was it's first trip there too, and also its first outing with me. There were a lot of firsts that year.
