So next year will be my 1st Glastonbury. Myself, my hubby(bluebird007) & my 11 yrold daughter. We have also never been camping lol so what are the essentials you guys would all recomend
A Tent :P
Sleeping bags
air beds (don't forget the pump!)
clothes for all weathers
a good pair of walking shoes or boots with thick socks, you're gonna do a LOT of walking!
They're your basics, then stuff like:
torch
camping stove + fuel, pans, plates and cutlery, or you can eat from the huge array of outlets remarkably healthily, if not cheaply, if you shop around a bit
sun cream
ummm.... brain's gone numb, I'll let someone else add to the list...
Ponchos, cheap ones that are in supermarkets now at 2 for a pound in asda. we use them to sit on when they finished being used as ponchos.
Sun cream, if its even slightly sunny you will burn.
As you are taking your little one we reccomend taking as many soft drinks (in plastic bottles or carton, not cans) as you can manage. It gets very expensive catering for kids. we also take lots and lots of cereal bars (rice crispie sort) crisps and multi packs of chocolate bars for the energy hits both adults and kids need. Each day our kids filled their rucksacks with drinks, sweets, crisps and chocolate (it was their holiday lol not our normal diet) and they picked on it during the day. only real treat expense was the icecreams.
A bucket with a lid is a good idea for when little one has the urge during the night,
Look around charity shops now for funky stuff you would never ever wear again and its almost compulesry for little girls to wear tutu's, feather boas and as much glitter and sparkle as poss.
Im sure I have more but mind gone blank now. Will try to post as I remember.
Discovered them 3 Glastonburys ago and they changed my life
They are ace, especially if you wake during the night and can't be faffed with the trudge to the loos, the liquid is all absorbed into a gel so it can't spill everywhere, which is very handy! I like my She Wee too, it's a little funnel thing so you can wee standing up, perfect if you can't face sitting on the loo seats, they can get a bit grim at times!
