What will you be sleeping in...

Roo · #1 15-04-2011, 09:14 PM

.... at Glasto of course! Be fun to see what sorta tents/vans people will be using this year!

(Hey GlastoWatch, how about a 'Show us your...' sub-forum? Then we could have 'show us your Wellies, pets, various other festie related stuff' ?)

Other pics of my bus here - http://forum.glastowatch.co.uk/album.php?albumid=16

One of these bad-boys!
(half-price at Millets at the mo - £30)

Single air-bed (if I can be bothered to carry it) and a sleeping bag

Although... how much sleeping will actually take place... I'm not sure yet...

This was our bargain of the year last year. 8 Birth. Bought it from a colleague, he had never even set it up, 30 quid! Absolute bargain!

Bronte · #4 16-04-2011, 10:49 AM

SLEEPING POD!!!!

soooo roomy and cosy!!!
Go check them out, i have no idea how to put pics on here

Roo · #5 16-04-2011, 12:12 PM

One of these?

Isn't that just a glorified sleeping bag?
It's what I found when searching for sleeping pod's anyway!

akicif · #6 16-04-2011, 12:23 PM

I thought sleeping pods were those things that look like a cross between a stack of barrels in a brewery car park and a Japanese capsule hotel...

well, I also found a pic of these, but can't see it working at glasto for many reasons!

stinkywitch · #8 16-04-2011, 03:48 PM

Do you think they would let me have one of these hanging from that tree near the pyramid stage??

Mart44 · #9 16-04-2011, 03:57 PM

stardustjunkie · #11 16-04-2011, 06:29 PM

I used to be a Guide Leader so I have access to their tents

They're in brilliant condition, and really easy to set up. Just your standard five man tent, with the sleeping bit and then a porch like bit (with a door) for your muddy wellies.

I don't have a picture, they're locked up in the camp store at the moment!

tobiasfunke · #12 16-04-2011, 07:28 PM

Gonna try a be a lodger in a different persons tent every night

stinkywitch · #13 16-04-2011, 07:36 PM

we got room in ours for a night. As long as you are not some phychopath or bunny boiler type!

Bronte · #14 18-04-2011, 11:41 AM

intensify · #15 18-04-2011, 11:49 AM

I am taking my Dad this year so need to find him a tent. He's 50odd and thinks the £10 specials in ASDA will be fine. I just laughed and said if thats what you want do it but don't expect to me camping in my tent.

Roo · #16 18-04-2011, 12:38 PM

Would I share the porch with beer cans and muddy shoes

7ft is an impressive porch though. Prob bigger than most tents vie slept in

exstockwellgooner · #18 18-04-2011, 04:13 PM

Taking "Scooby" this year. Hope the photo loads up OK

Mandypants · #19 18-04-2011, 04:59 PM

Probably Flower tent once again, it's a fab little 3 berth, just enough space for lil me, my bed and my shiz

Nelly · #20 18-04-2011, 07:47 PM

How do I add a picture?

Mandypants · #21 18-04-2011, 08:23 PM

click on the [img] button and paste in the url of your photo, it needs to be posted online, on photobucket or something like that.

*correction* it's a little square picture button, yellow with little mountains on it

Dirkthemerc · #22 18-04-2011, 09:17 PM

This! Its Dirk & he`s very nice

Nelly · #23 18-04-2011, 10:16 PM

If its sunny this one

If its raining then another one, but I can't find a photo.

dimus · #24 20-04-2011, 12:32 PM

Sleeping is cheating!!!!!!

Bell Boy · #25 20-04-2011, 02:31 PM

Piston Broke · #26 20-04-2011, 05:29 PM

This is mine...

Bought it last year from a local chap on Ebay, he specified collection only and got it for about £50, best thing was he even delivered it.

Three double bedrooms and a large front "lounge" area, just right for those moments it the night when you just can't move

Nelly · #27 20-04-2011, 08:16 PM

Love the tent PB - great size!

exstockwellgooner · #28 20-04-2011, 10:07 PM

Better Picture Hopefully

nice bus, but you may get a better pic showing if you upload to album here and copy link provided there. Not sure if using attachments will allow you to insert 'inline' rather than just attach as is what seems to be happening here.

Great to see such a variety of sleeping facilities people will be using! Keep the pics coming guys!

Dunkyard Jog · #30 22-04-2011, 09:33 PM

One of these beasties

hopefully facing towards the pyramid stage

Glasto-worker · #31 24-04-2011, 03:01 AM

I must have used one tent for over twenty years and then bought this - the porch is excellent because if its very wet { which it was at that event } the porch door prevents the inner door from being soaked { which used to happen with my old tent } -

I put the tent up and if its Latitude I run a DAB aerial up to a telephone pole as DAB reception is rubbish at Henham Park but ok at Glasto.

doubledecker · #32 25-04-2011, 04:17 PM

Heres mine from last year. Thing is i forgot the one pole which a tipi needs hence why its nearly falling over. Had to go down to the tent shop place and buy a couple of tent poles (the bendy ones you use for smaller tents!), tied them together with afew elastic bands and it just about stood up for the week. Thank god glaso has a place to buy spare tent parts!!!

Tip #1 - Make a list of things you need to take
Tip #2 - make sure you check all parts are in your tent bag before leaving!

IAmTheWaffle · #40 28-04-2011, 04:21 PM

Yes, really those colours. Daytime sleeping is nigh impossible in it.
