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!

It's simple dude.... Figure 8 then fold back on itself , literally takes 1-2 minutes 

[Nuthugger]

i bought some proper ear plugs (party animal!!!!!)

[MJP]

since resale day:

 

flights are booked 

coach booked to and from

new tent purchased 

located last years gear and gave it a once-over. 

 

need to do:

book accommodation pre and post festival 

make a list of things to purchase when I arrive in the UK 

 

 

Ooo, I remember this feeling so well. Only got my ticket in the April resale and then had to plan SO MUCH in the space of just a few weeks.

 

I felt like a kid in a candy shop walking around Tescos picking out my booze etc once I'd landed, lol.

I have done sound reactive lights previously but found the sensitivity didn’t really work too well with noise levels high . The lights are app controlled as will the programmable screen be on the second hat once I’ve fitted it .

Booked a physio to get on top of some back pain that just isn’t going away. This must be fixed before Glasto!!!

You've probably been asked this, but does this not give you incredible neck pain?

No . Your neck can take a decent amount of weight . Think about the African water carriers who trek miles with water containers on their heads . That said this years versions are loads lighter than previous

And there was me thinking I was clever making a USB fan from an old laptop fan! (because it's going to be hot!). I'm sure Crazyfool01's hat includes personal cooling!

Sadly no … does have a smoke machine though . Not yet designed with dry ice 🙂

Yesterday felt pretty productive. Completed my Oxfam profile, took delivery of a new power bank and started the snack shopping. Also bought some of the new Moth flavours in Sainsbury's so I can try a couple before I put a big order in 👌🏻

I've gone for the ice-from-a-bar-under-my-cap before but this is next level

Got the tent out and put it up and down a couple of times on my own, as the wife is having a lie in, whilst I join the queue early.

[buddiepaul]

I put my old tent up today and realised my new camp bed doesn’t fit in.  I need a taller tent which is what I thought anyway.   Need to have a look for tents tomorrow it seems.

Fitter a laser

A few new bits arrived - got a new daypack as my little running backpack that I used last year is starting to die on me.

 

Thoroughly recommended too - it’s a 14-litre Kelty Minnow, which is advertised as being for kids aged 4-8 but is a perfect size to take 2x little Quechua folding chairs from Decathlon plus various other bits. Just had a play with it and I’ve got 2 chairs, 9x330ml cans, a 400ml water bottle and a hat in there, and that’s without using the mesh pockets on the side. I reckon there’s still room to get a thin long-sleeved shirt in there as well.

 

A new headtorch also arrived, as did some tent spares inc a load of guy-rope tensioners.

Went to nose at a tent. Seen one of those inflatable ones much lighter but no built in ground sheet which puts me off.

 

Heard loads about those blackout ones but I want something I cant stand up in (6ft 2) so probably getting a heavyish one (lighter than our old one) 

 

Once the tent is bought then all eyes to fashion and Glastonbury add ones etc !

Those Whitebox Cocktails are delightful 

Had a try last weekend Disco Baby & Straight Up Daiquiri 👌🏽

 

[Spindles]

chucked the sleeping bag through the washing machine, it smelled faintly of cider.

[deadponyclub]

purchased a new pair of waterproof walking shoes, 49 days left to break them in!
