What to take to a Festival (Part1)

I thought it would be usefule to collect the ultimate list of stuff to take to a Music Festival. Anyway here is my first try.

Your tickets

If you wear glasses, try and pack a second pair

Plenty of loo roll and wet wipes (in 2007 the festival is giving everyone a free loo roll)

Wellies - if it rains, the welly stalls sell out in five minutes

Lots of plastic bags - pack everything in them; they keep it all dry

Bin liners are great too: useful to sit on - and they fit in your pocket!

A lightweight waterproof coat and hat

Combats make great festie trousers - lots of zippable pockets

Paracetamol/aspirin for the mornings after

Your mobile - make sure it's charged up and keep it with you all the time. You could get a disposable phone charger before you go

Sunglasses, sun hat and plenty of sun cream (just in case!)

Thick jumper - even summer nights get cold

Loose clothing

Torch, plus batteries

Tin opener

Sleeping bag

Vital medication

Tent (if you're sharing a tent and you're carrying parts of it separately, make sure you all know who's responsible for bringing what before you set off!)

Soap/baby wipes - no-one likes sharing a tent with someone who smells

Chocolate - if your money runs out, something with high amount of sugar will keep your energy up for the long trek back home

If you wear glasses, try and pack a second pair. They're a common casualty in an excited crowd

Bring all your drinks in plastic bottles - glass is not allowed on sites
