speaking of bringing cars ... has anyone ever brought a car and got stuck in the mud? I wanna bring mine incase we get rained out of the campsite like Glastonbury ... don't want to get stuck in the muck though!

My lift and a bunch of other cars had flat batteries come Monday (forgetting to turn off interior lights after going back to them drunk to charge phones and the like being the culprits it would seem). Luckily one person had jump leads and another was kind enough to get everyone going. Id highly recommend bringing jump leads. If you dont need them someone else will.

If the rain gets as bad as Glastonbury, depending on the geography of where you parked, the car parks will flood too (they did in Glastonbury anyway). Being stuck in the mud is a possibility so if you are just bringing the car as a shelter dont bother as you could be double stung. If you lose a tent to flooding just grab the bus after the bands play.

Black, actually. Not quite as distinctive as before. We have 2 huge tents, so look out for the huge shadows being cast in the campsite!

Bring a laptop and a dvd of The Shawshank Redemption. That way you can watch the following scene:

As before, an object is hauled up the side of the building by rope -- only this time, it's a cooler of beer and ice. RED (V.O.) And that's how it came to pass, that on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of '49... 60 EXT -- ROOF -- SHORTLY LATER (1949) 60 The cons are taking the sun and drinking beer. RED (V.O.) ...wound up sitting in a row at ten o'clock in the morning, drinking icy cold Black Label beer courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison. HADLEY Drink up, boys. While it's cold. RED (V.O.) The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous. Red knocks back another sip, enjoying the bitter cold on his tongue and the warm sun on face. RED (V.O.) We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders, and felt like free men. We could'a been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation. He glances over to Andy squatting apart from the others. RED (V.O.) As for Andy, he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer. HEYWOOD (approaches with a beer) Here's a cold one, Andy. ANDY No thanks. I gave up drinking. Heywood drifts back to others, giving them a look. RED (V.O.) You could argue he'd done it to curry favor with the guards. Or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me, I think he did it just to feel normal again...if only for a short while.

The plastic bags can always be handy to go over the socks aswell is the rain really comes down and your not into the wearing the welly's thing!

Any of you with hayfever bring spray and tablets. Major wrecker when its starts and your eyes are in bits!

Inject oranges full of vodka and freeze the oranges. Bring them into the concert (security wont know a thing and they wont smell the vodka, you can see ive done this before!) and save on buying drink. You'll be wasted from eating oranges its class! Only probs is getting the needles without looking like a junky!

Put something on your tent to identify it, when you get back wasted and its dark you'll never find it. A good one is getting a glow stick, break it openand pour it onto your tent and spell something that you'll see!

cant think of anything else that wasnt already said at the moment!

im bringin 2 disposable cameras

Hey get an airhorn too! and a gigantic foam hand while your at it!

You can bring any alcohol you like into the campsite providing its not in glass bottles. As for sneaking booze into the arena they do check the bottles by sniffing them and will also confiscate lids from you (apparently this is to stop people filling bottles and chucking them).

You could probably sneak in some inconspicous smaller bottles like minatures or tape some half filled half crushed bottle to your leg (damn Im giving away ALL The secrets here). How about this.. try get a bladder of wine from the cardboard box stuff and tape it to your back.

Best thing is to try time when you head in. As the crowds get bigger and the bands start to play the checks they do on people get less thorough.

Wellies, got a pair today, no more soaking wet trainers for me!!!!

Better yet get some Acid and just sit at home and pretend you went to the festival. :rolleyes:

Some people actually wish to drink socially but not pay the 5 quid a pint or be limited to the choice of.. Heineken... and Heineken.
