I never unpacked really, just wheeled the truck into the garage and put a cover over it. Been topping it up with cider recently so you could say I have started packing

All my Glasto stuff is in one pile in the corner of the bedroom... But I haven't started stocking up on things like babywipes and other essentials yet; like a typical bloke I'm going to leave it all to the last minute

But got all the main essentials - Tent, Sleeping Bag, Air-Bed, Pump, Water Carrier, Poncho, Pillow... etc.

All I know is that this year's is going to be on a very tight budget sadly, unless a job or big wodge of money turns up between now and the festival.

Still, whatever happens; it'll be the best week of the year anyway

First festival of the season is only a little over 2 weeks away and I’ve got at least one more before Glasto so most stuff will already be in the van with only clean clothes & booze to worry about. Might get myself a new tent between now & then though as although I’ll be taking the campervan for the first time I still plan on camping on Pennards with the usual crew.

The wife has bought odds and sods, she loves picking up stuff for Glastonbury. She even likes to buy stuff for the rain her thinking is that if you expect rain everything else is a bonus.

Those sack trucks may not be ideal with the wheels! You need to get wheels that are massive. With the uneven ground you may find the wheels get stuck or even worse bend and break.
