Festival goers

I live on the island and for bestival the police had drug dogs walking round the ferries, checking people getting on them and off. I would recommend buying it there.

Everyone i know who has been to bestival has taken loads of weed, ket and pills and never got a second look when on them, in fact some people share them round.
 
I can remember going to MotoX of Nations (aka Des Nations) couple years ago with a tent and thats it (weekend evcent). Was completely unprepared so this time im taking LOADS of meat, LOADS of caffine & LOADS of 'smokes' & lots more.
 
Good call for a thread. I'm going Download next weekend.

Our daughter and her friends are going to this.

Other essentials include:

insect repellant
ziplok bags or similar
suntan lotion
after sun lotion (:D)
Vaseline
water bottles on belt loop or lanyard
 
The talk of drugs on in this thread is rather explicit, and i thought this was a family forum :rolleyes: :cool:

No more explicit than what's on Radio 1 all week. ;)

As a 1 off at a special occasion like a festival use not abuse is not really a problem, and lets face it, I'm sure it didn't come as a massive surprise that people at festivals might think about narcotics :eek::D

Ive taken in to Bestival every time I've been, never seen dogs on the ferry either. Regrdless though, wrap -> condom -> shampoo bottle = job done.

Untrue dude - my mate lost a fortune when he was collared @ global with his kit stashed like that. No plan is fool proof, just don't be silly, act confident and once inside keep it fairly low profile.

How did they find it ?
 
Taking it in is all about how confident you act.
Just put it in your boxers, they won't search there if they do.
 
There was no need to take my post seriously =P when ay download as it were is all i have to say lol
 
might keep my money in one of those waterproof bags for money and phone, good or bad idea?

I got a feelfree drytube 5 litre in thailand for about £4. Its the best thing i got. Phone, wallet and anything else in the bottom, roll it down and its full waterproof. Even floats. The fijian people all wanted one!

Mines the middle one but 5 litre.

edit - who the hell needs a 25 litre beachbag??? My 5 litre one fitted enough stuff in for a 3 day excursion! (tshirt, shorts, wallet, suncream, big water, sunnies, roll up towel, a few snacks)

While this is true, its stood up to any search Ive ever had. Still though, he cant of lost that much in one shampoo bottle? Unless he had about 50 of them.. Then I can see why they split them open :p

That being said though, Global is one of the hardest to get stuff in. Glade is up there if anybody is planning on going there.. The rest arent much to worry about in my experience. They generally pick 1-2 people to make an example of and REALLY search them on the side to scare people, if you're not one of them.. Life is good.
 
I've been to many festivals in my time. Now I'm too old.

Wet Wipes are the only REAL essential.

A quick rub around your chops, chest, balls, bum and feet with one of those makes you feel like a new man.
 
I expect you wont get searched going from car to camp site? Ive got loads of gear (tent etc) to carry along ...plan on only using my gear (aka not my tent) within the campsite. ..
