i think you can hire valves where you can put in your stuff in the airports or stations. but I'm not sure how big they are. |

the lockers at the airport are not safe enough, at least that was the estimate that charleroi airport staff made when i contacted them. |

Do you not have self storage companies there? In the UK they are quite common. Basically you are given a key to a lockup/safe deposit box to store things in. I've not used one, but I get the impression it's longer term than 5 days. Your best bet might be befriending someone nearby and leaving your luggage with them. |

A Rent-A-Wreck van? Not exactly burglary-proof, but that depends whether car break-ins are a problem or not. If the festival has a parking ground you could leave it there. |

There's probably localish on the board that will have a friend there who would be willing to help. As to Sclah's suggestion, it's not actually that bad. Van hire is cheaper than you'd imagine (near me it's the same as a small car) and could provide you with transport to/from the festival too. |

One other idea, how about sending your other luggage (well packed of course) to your new home via the postal service/as freight? It'd free you from the aggro of having to collect it after the festival/carry it for the rest of the journey too. |

I don't really know how much it costs to rent a van, but there are several companies that offers used cars for a cheaper price than the regular rental companies. I can imagine temporary storage gets more expensive the shorter the time period is. |

you can dump the stuff at my place, but i live 2 hours away from brussels, and knowing you, that just ain't going to be good enough. Thought i'd let you know anyway. |

In my experience, lockers in airports have been done away with due to bomb threats, so the left luggage lock ups are a lot more secure now. Looks for luggage storage facilities at nearby airports and tran stations, see if any of them are not just lockers but actually manned lock ups, I doubt you will get more secure than that. |
