Oh, she looks really organised.
You should see some of them trolling out of Reading station - bags dragging on the ground, straps wrapped around their necks, cutting off circulation, you would not believe it.
Mind you at least most have got wellies - first time I went to Glastonbury there was a girl tottering in on white stilletos - the mud was already 4" deep inside.

A friend is taking the tent and Lotty has our 'glamping' trolly to transport beer, twelve rat packs and wine to the tent (four going for three days)
I learned about 4 years ago bivvy bags aren't suitable for glasto! I think it's still under the mud somewhere. Looks well prepared
I'm amazed she's still standing up and hasn't toppled over backwards like someone playing dead ants!
I see reading/leeds has only got worse in recent years.......i'm personally not a fan of ones but i'm sure yer daughter will have a good time
Old Campin Gaz® stoves "borrowed" from parents after sitting in damp garage for twenty years going BOOM is the popular reason.
Sent via smoke-signal from a woodland in Scotland.
It's because people throw canisters in the fires on the last day. I remember going when I was 16 ish and I cleared out pretty damn quick on Monday morning. I also seemed to be the only one packing and carrying home all my gear.
I live in reading and overheard a guy in a hardware shop today saying he was a scout master and that hes going on Monday to collect tents. said that 70% just get left behind!
I hate this disposable goods attitude!

I saw either a link on the tinternet or a news item on tv about charities that go around these events afterwards collecting all the usable tents, airbeds etc and clean them up and give them to homeless charities/drop in centres......do the ticket prices include some sort of tax for helping in the monumental clean ups afterwards I wonder?
Yeh the fields are grazing land most of the year. There's a pretty big clean up operation. I was saying to the OH earlier I'd like to see what percentage of the ticket price went to clearing up over-privileged under-appreciative people's crap.
When I went carling were sponsoring and if you took a full bin bag to their tent you got a free beer. Pretty good deal and I got quite a lot of free bet for doing what I normally do anyway.

At the V festival in Shropshire about 20,000 tents were abandoned after the event finished, though the discarded tents are picked up and issued to various charitable causes a large percentage of them are trashed and ruined and not suitable for re-use, they reckon only about 3-4 thousand out of 20,00 are fit to be re-used again. Also other things like sleeping bags are left behind for others to clean up as well and they too are re-distributed by charities. Incidentally those discarded tents and sleeping bags are sent to be cleaned by the prisoners of Kirkham Open Prison.
If I'd known I'd have given her a couple of Trangia's to take.
Looking online it seems idiots like throwing cans of gas and deodorants on fires for fun
Throwaway BBQs are 2 for £10. Daughter said there are burn marks in the grass everywhere. A small pizza and a burger cost her @ £18...still she is having a good time
My daughter went in 2013 and 2014, and said everything was double dear. The toilet facilities disgusted her the most, so much so that she paid to use the toilets in the Selco's across the road. She still had a great time though.
