Festival Must Haves..

Whilist on this topic.

Is it a stupid idea to drive?

I am worried about the following;

Someone damaging my car!
Getting carried away with myself and still being drunk Monday morning.
Losing my car.

The only reason I ask is I was meant to be getting a lift, still am, but now there will be 5 of us in the car and I really think (with 3 women) we will struggle to get everything in the car!

What does everyone else do?

I wouldn't for the reason above. You might still feel ok to drive but it takes a long time for all the booze to leave your system. Also you'll enjoy yourself more not having to worry above the drive back home.

You wont need to poop, last real festival I did I didn't poop from landing in ireland on the thursday morning till I got to the safter of england the next monday...

Just take things you dont really care about if you see again, and a tenner for burger king on the way home, that'll fix everything.

You'll probably want a festival ticket too, as well as a print out of the line up's/stage times as those seem to cost money whilst there!

A tarp. Just like duct tape it has soooo many uses :)

Actually this is a very good one.

Sleeping in a tent past first light, in summer, isn't comfortable and will make you sweat.

Getting out of said tent in the morning and resting in the shade under a tarp is great if you're hungover and absolutely do need another couple of hours sleep.

After eating festival food for the past two years at sonisphere, I can not stress this suggestion enough.

Still, not stopping me and psymonkee from going again this year! :D

As mentioned earlier in the thread, although an extra tent may be overkill, it is bloody handy to have a small one man tent to keep all your food and crap in so that it doesn't take up space in your sleeping area (we brought a LOT of food and alcohol with us last time).

Also, prepare to sacrifice your tent on the last day when you're so hung over that you can't be bothered to take your tent down properly and just smash it instead, or have someone else smash it (even if you didn't ask them to :mad:).
