Festival Trolly

[Xanadu]

Last time I took wine to the festival, it ended up turning to vinegar. Admittedly I tried to drink it anyway Crispy took one sip and spat it out

I took white last year and it was fine but we had cool boxes full of ice too.

I am not going to get so fucked this year and I may remember some of it.

 

[JTG]

yes you are

 

[Firky]

Well at least once or twice but not every night.

Same. Hopefully.

I'm taking one of these.

It will be stocked with nut roast and yorkshire puds and fruit salad and black forest gateaux and all manner of good things to eat

This is ours:

My Glastonbury experience would be rather different without it - it makes having the huge uberdome and several slabs of beer possible

I've always wondered why no-one has yet set up a kind of haulier's service at festivals.

So you go off with the tents to find your pitch. Then go back and hire a haulier for a fiver (or whatever) to get the rest of the tat up to your pitch.

 

[Onket]

Fuck me, it's a sorry state of affairs.

I have an old lady-style shopping trolley, will that do?

If it's dry it will fall apart over the bumps, and if it's wet it will get stuck in the mud. You need big inflatable tyres....

they do it at the Big Green Gathering with a nice horse and cart

If it won't go on your back, you don't need it.

You're going camping, not trying to recreate suburbia in a field.

Yup. It is nice to have a few comforts:

Coat
Hoody
Couple of tshirts
Jeans & a pair of shorts
Underwear and socks
Shorts
Boots / wellies and a pair of trainers
Lighter
Torch
Towel
Bog roll
Toothbrush and paste
Two litre bottle of ginger beer and rum
Phone
Sleeping bag and tent
Liquid soap
Condoms
Some form of hat
Sunglasses

Packing it in the comfort of your own home where its nice dry is alright but packing it all back up and taking it home again when you're tired, broken and it is pissing down is a pain in the arse.

I seem to take less and less each festival I go to.

meh

Why would I take a crate of piss to a festival? Spirits, man! Spirits, small and potent

I tend to have both tbh

I just like having a can of lager on the go pretty much at all times

 

[crustychick]

urgh - Carling?!?!? why would you, just why

 

[Firky]

Chegs said the beer is really good so I'm just going to get tanked up on that. My plan is not to get too fucked this year then I may see some bands and remember a few things

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

urgh - Carling?!?!? why would you, just why

It has two plus points:

1 - It's dirt cheap
2 - It gets me drunk


Which is pretty much all I ask for in a festival beer

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

A quid says this plan will fail

 

[Firky]

You have to drink massive amounts to get pissed however which means you're walking to and fro from the toilets.

Well I am going to try my best

 

[crustychick]

I was always bewildered by people drinking Carling at Glasto – why if you’ve gone to all that bother to drag in crates of beer for miles and miles, would you drink something so piss poor (quality/strength)

Each to their own though! I used to cart 7 slabs of Stella at a time up to pennards hill in a wheelie bin!

That trolley in the OP looks lush though…

Yeah, but Carling FFS!

I honestly don't think it's that bad (I'll drink it in the pub sometimes), but to be fair I've not yet tried a beer I didn't like

 

[Firky]

Never had Tennants then?
