So I’ve got my tent, sleeping bag and ticket. ‘Well what else do I need to bring along?’ I hear you asking.
Yep, it’s that time of year again and Festival season is upon us. Glastonbury is the undisputed king of the summer festivals, leaving its younger cousins in the festival family way behind.
We’ve got our heads together and polled some Glasto regulars on the ten essential items to bring along come June.
- Actionwipes. The last thing you want to be stood next to in a mass crowd is someone smelling like a tramps mate. The showers at Glasto are not what you’d be used to at home. Next best solution = Actionwipes, all over body wipes that leave you clean and fresh. www.actionwipes.com
- No rinse shampoo. For the ladies amongst you, us chaps know you get a complex if you can’t wash your hair 3 times a day so this product is ideal for festival purposes… www.norinse.co.uk
- Folding Chair. I never realised how important this was until last year, but when you’ve been walking around all day, you’re knackered and the floor is either a mud-bath or mini lake, you’ll want to kiss for me for telling you to take one of these.
- Travel Johns. Waking up in the middle of the night in a dark field needing a slash is no fun at all. So instead of stumbling around in the dark looking for the toilets try these little fellas for size… www.funkyleisure.co.uk
- Ponchos. We have all been there, when the rain comes and soaks you to the skin leaving you a cold soggy mess for the rest of the day. I used to laugh at the festival poncho wearers until I borrowed a mates and realised they do a decent job indeed.www.funkyleisure.co.uk
- Peruvian Hats. I must have been the only person at Leeds last year who never had one of these bad boys. When night comes and the temperature drops these funky things will keep your head snug as a bug in a rug. www.futuredaydreams.co.uk
- Torch. You need a good one of these to carry around with you at night, it is very easy to become disorientated after a few too many at the Cider bus. There are some expensive models on the market such as maglites or there are some cheaper eco friendly windup jobs as well.
- Travel Chargers. Believe me joining 5000 people queuing for 200 chargers at the orange chill n charge tent is no fun. A travel charger is a must if you want to ring your mates to tell them how drunk you are at 5am… www.futuredaydreams.co.uk
- Boots/wellies. Any solider will tell you ‘look after your feet and they will look after you’. There are some very good waterproof and Gore-Tex hiking boots around, that will do a job on any terrain, but if it turns into a quagmire then wellies are a must.
- Sun Cream, Sunglasses, Sun hat. IF the weather is good, you’ll be spending long days in the sun so keep yourself well protected. Remember Glasto comes when the sun is at its peak so be warned.
Now the really big news!! We’ve teamed up with some of the firms supplying some of the above named products, and thanks to their generosity we are offering two lucky winners an official Glastowatch essentials pack.
These packs will make you the envy of everybody at Glastonbury (probably), well at least these packs should save you a few quid anyway and they include..
- Action-wipes
- A Peruvian hat
- Travel Johns
- Multi Purpose Poncho
- No Rinse Shampoo, conditioner and bodywash.
