...what will you do different this year ?

I'll be bring more 'shade' with me!!
Learning to relax and sleep when it's hot!!
Not smoking too much!
Eating more.. ahem.. fibre..
Not doing anything that will give me a comedown!!

Definitely mate. I learnt from the last year so this year I will be bringing:
A parachute, to chuck over the gazebo and shade from the sun,
Wet wipes, so I dont have to use the showers,
nose plugs, so the toilets are just about bearable,
and a skateboard, to strap my bag to so I dont have to carry it!
astraboy.

the showers are reallllllly nice if you manage to get to use one
but yes, wet wipes are a must

Hey boys nice of u 2 join us

I camped under a tree last year so shade wasn't a problem

The only thing I'll change is bring a bit more cash.

Well, it's not like people had to queue long for their cash at the ATMs anyway, was it? Not compared to Pennards anyway, can;t believe how long people would queue there.

a boom box with own tunes to listen to once stages are closed (chilling in syrup fun too)

bigger tent

permission to create fires/ massif campfires etc

big-4uck off mach-eye bag o' shroomers

straw hat

Someone did that at Beautiful Days, parachute was dyed purple. Beautiful thing it was too.

Welcome to the board guys BTW.

i wont change it much if the weather is nearly as good, might bring a compass to avoid the morning sun... er, i'd just bring slightly more tins & cash & clothing (change of clothes is great when its hot!) shade is a must for early day sleep, possible gazebo... few "other" things i should get (had to go hunting last year, not good), er, suncream?

I might actually attend!

And if I take advantage of the knowledge of all your weaknesses/mistakes/etc I should have a pretty much perfect time

That's the beauty of boards like this.

Oh, has anyone told you that wearing one of those wacky jester hats is a really, really cool thing to do and will win you lots of friends?

Yeah I'm down with the festival hat thing.

I have also heard that taking a big bell with you and constantly ringing it is good sportsmanship too.

Although I am thinking of going naked and painting myself purple, which, incidentally, s my favourite colour

You'll need to get one of those itsy bitsy little chipolatas that they have at parties, paint it purple and stick it on top of your pubes for maximum effect.

I was thinking more of leaves and going for the Ribena Berry look

purple naked bloke was soooooooooo last year!!!












Bring on naked purple lady

am i crazy or was there more tahn one naked purple guy, if not he sure got about a bit!

Yep, you're crazy, it was definitely just the one guy.

Oh, and the easiest way to put a pic up is if you already have it somewhere else on the web. Then all you have to do is post a message on here, putting the address of the pic in between [ img ] and [ /img ]

If you don't know how to put a pic on the web, just email me the one you want putting up and I'll sort it for you.

nose plugs

what a good idea!!

I am going to get/make someone drive so I don't have to lug all my stuff around the coutnry. Taking a gazebo last year was such a good idea but it was bloody heavy!!

I'm not going to lose my things/get stuff stolen. grrrr
