off my trolley

[Daisy420]

oh my god i'm jelous.... we always lug everything around and moan every year that were going to get some sort of trolley.... think will deffo look into it now.....

[r0cky]

My trolley looks like this:

Got it from B&Q for £12.98. Worked perfectly in the mud of this year; walked effortlessy in/out at high speed with a massive holdall bungeed on. Large wheels and good clearance, it rode through the water/mud. Will be using it again, and again,...

Rocky - that's the jobbie!!!!! however you do need a car/van that can take it tho'

some warehouse wrap around it works a treat

this is what you need

note the very wide wheels, also holes in the wheels allow mud/water to flow through, good ground clearance for deep water fairly flexible, aids suspension, and after all its designed to be dragged over grass! yep, its going to be glasto number 3 for my golf trolley in 08! also it folds up, the wheels come off easily too which is good for packing, you can pick one up cheap in sports shops, or if you keep an eye out in your local charity shops, there is normally one in there going for next to nothing, i liberated this one off my dad!

Just noticed that my local B&Q has those trolleys in again, but unfortunately at £24.98. They're also B&Q orange now!

[kerplunk]

Lol - you must take bugger all on that - the wheels would so bust under any real weight!!

As an often solo traveller I quite like the look of it - nice light trolley for tent + beer (eliminating the second 'beer run' to the car) and the rest on your back in a rucksack - I reckon that would be a good combo. Anything bigger would be slow and cumbersome and you'd need more than one pair of hands to get through tricky bits.

Hmm... they're £12.98 on diy.com. I might have to invest in one.

Hmmm - nice fold up action but no mention of pneumatic tyres and how easy to adjust for the load?

Still faithful to my old dear:

I'm assured it's ever so easy to push/pull as well Also it comes apart for easy tent storage.

Thanks be to 5co77ie btw; trolley porn already - lovely !

Hmmm just been tempted to get this - opinions please trolley people

I'm gonna get one of these. Pneumatic tyres and folds up small for the car. Trolley heaven. C'mon efestivals, do a deal with Bigdug, this must be the perfect festival trolley. Edited March 4, 2008 by paddydog

B&Q were selling something very similar for £13 last year (in bright cheerful red too). They don't fold flat, so I just stored mine in the Lock-Up.

It was so cheap that I had to leave it in the car park on the way back to reality. The car was full and it was the cheapest thing. (I hope it found a new owner).

I'll be buying another one this year (assuming I get my golden ticket).

[r0cky]

I rescued one of these from the car park, it was obviously new , still had tape round the handles! Was muddy of course but a blast with a pressure washer soon fixed that. How come the car was fuller on the way back than on the way in? If it was your trolley then thanks, it will be making a return this year (all being well).

I love these threads- not that I've ever taken a trolley, I travel light, but it's tempting- and I love it when you, guys get all scientific about it all

Bring on the summer!

glastonbury 2004 - bought a fishing trolley with heeuge pnuematic tyres and a badger portable so that I and Mrs Niblet had a trolley each, the badger was not up to the job really but the fishing trolley was a doddle to transport stuff with. I got mine for £30 off ebay and would highly reccomend them - just like this one here add some bungy cords and you are sorted!

I got one of these:

It is perfect. It's got the decent tyres you need and shrinks down to fit easily in your boot. In fact you can pull the telescopic handle bit totally out to split it into 2 bits. Worth every penny.

Just been to my local B&Q and got an orange sack trolley for £12.98 - searched online and found that you can check if your local B&Q have them in stock. I wanted one last year but they had sold out by the time I had got around to looking for one.

Also have one of these- thought it was a bit pricey at the time but has been really useful for carrying stuff, with added cushions and fairy lights makes excellent night transport for little Thatcats and a comfy sofa in the tent.

it hilarious watching guys with everything they own carefully strapped to a cheap trolley only for it to fall apart halfway there

what you guys might not realise is that glasto alows you to go back to your car

theres no need to do a heroic one trip

I like to pretty much just take the tent on the first trip

saves being weighed down while lookng for a good spot
