The Tickets4Festivals survival guide should help you…
Choose a good pitch - preferably away from the toilets
Test run putting your new tent up before you go as putting it up in the dark won’t be much fun, if it’s the first time.
don’t wear your smart designer clothes - they’ll get trashed at a festival.
Nobody likes a cold beer - take only what you mind drinking warm.
Don’t take valuables to festivals - apart from the risk of them getting stolen or damaged or covered in mud, do you really need to take your ipod?
Make friends with those camping around you - that way people tend to keep an eye out for each other - for example it’s easier to spot a “stranger” going into someone’s tent. Plus you’ll have a much better time if you socialise rather than keeping yourself to yourself - this is what festivals are all about!
…..If you’re getting on famously, remember to practise safe sex!
If you put a padlock on your tent, you might as well have a banner on it as well that says “there’s something in here worth nicking”.
The toilets at festivals are notoriously unpleasant, it’s just something you’ll have to put up with. Take baby wipes, and keep your loo roll in a waterproof plastic bag.
Smile, and have a good time!
