Glade questions.

This is my first festival and I have a few questions. What
shit should I take with me? What sort of stuff is available
to buy? Is there a large police presence round these things
to take fun stuff off you?

Thanks.

If its like last year they will take booze off you at the
gates so hide it. Otherwise they were casual.

What you need:

a pot, a camping gas hob, easy food, a nice big bottle for
water, sleeping equipment, drug paraphenalia, tea and a mug,
cleverly selected clothes items, as much cash as you are
comfortable with because cashpoints are unreliable, soap and
or washing up liquid, spare batteries, torch, bog roll.

extras which I recomend is a tape player with a speaker, and
a comfortable seat although it tends to become a size/weight
issue

how thoroughly did they search you for alcohol?? last year
we got there early on the thursday and they never searched
us at all. i mean do they go through everything or will i be
able to sneak a bottle (plastic of course!!) in wrapped up
in side my tent inside my tent bag for example???

old mobile phone is a good idea.

food will be expensive and vary in quality so bring
canned/dried stuff ( i couldnt find a single stall selling
any meat produce last year...)

bog roll is essential.

bring some weed. pills and coke were much easier to get hold
of last year.

i think generally you wont get searched if you look
respectable enough, or maybe if ther is a large group of you
it might be a prob, dunno.

also what made me laugh as me and my mate walked up to the
entrance some guy buy the tree was advising us and everyone
else to hide all our drugs well before we got to the gate.

The old "seal an oz of hash in the soap" trick works well
for festies. Although you'd do well to wrap it in clingfilm
first.

I'm going to be booking ticketsss sooooon, yeahhh
