Here’s our top tips for surviving a UK festival this summer
- Don’t leave valuables in your tent – mainly because you may not be able to find your tent at some point and because they will get nicked
- Be prepared for crappy hygiene – bring some wet wipes or other grown up cleaning stuff
- Food and drink is expensive – take some cash – generally there won’t be a cash point and if there is the queue will be longer than a Russian bread queue
- Take some brightly coloured socks and weld them to your tent – this will help you identify it amongst the other 10 thousand cheap green tents, doing this before you leave ensures you don’t have to cart the welding gear with you
- Take plenty of clothes, yours will get wet and there’s no certainty that you will be able to borrow any
- The drugs will be shit, could kill you and may get you thrown out, stick to beer
- Starting a huge fire at 4am to warm some beans sounds like a good idea, but after you’ve burnt down 400 tents you won’t be popular and trying to escape a screaming mob in two feet of mud isn’t easy
- As hygiene isn’t usually great think twice before you decide to have oral sex
- Don’t pitch your tent in a spot away from everyone else, safety in numbers and there’s probably a reason no one has pitched there – it floods or its the track farmer Giles drives his tractor down at 6am every morning
- Take plastic bags, they keep your clothes dry, keep your wet clothes away from your other stuff, can double as a raincoat and can make something dry to sit on, Finally it is possible to make a new tent from them if you burn yours down or it blows away
- ENJOY!
