Don't lose your mates, always have a back up meeting plan. At every festival we've picked up a waif and stray who's lost their mates and is having a bad time 'till we cheer 'em up. Don't let it be you..festival sites are BIIIG, especially when you're messy.

- Wet wipes (sometimes called Baby Wipes) in place of showering. - Hand-held paper fan thingy when it gets steaming inside the crowded arenas.- A wee torch (maglite or the such) to help you find your tent in pitch black

Tissue as the toilets are not pretty by the end of the weekend and you may need to squat.
Rob Cheshire
Funny enough i take a tent to global gathering!! !!!! you have to go vip for the weekend , it doesnt cost much more than standard tickets and its worth every penny !!! Dodgems is a must when your drunk and the bungee jump if you got the guts!!!

Those meal replacement milkshakes are always a good thing to take, no matter if you're a chubster or not. It saves you making breakfast and lunch!!! Then all you need is a few burgers and more beer to make the weekend a success... xx
