Post-Glastonbury Festival Essential Tips

We are hearing reports that the 40th Anniversary Glastonbury Festival was a great success and for once the weather held out for the whole weekend. One of our customers reported that it was was hot! hot! hot! We sold plenty of Neoprene Can Coolers in the weeks leading up to to Glastonbury Festival, so hopefully these got plenty of use and made it feel a little bit cooler.

One of our Twitter followers has returned from Glastonbury and suggested some more amazing festival essential tips. We just had to share them with you, as we are sure that you will find the tips useful the next time you are camping at a music festival.

Gaffer Tape
Great for making fast repairs to tents, groundsheets and wellies. Not only waterproof but can be torn very easily without the use of a pair of scissors.

Plasters
Festival camping can be a bit rough and tumble, especially if you have had a few drinks too many. It's very easy to trip over tent pegs and guy lines on your way back to your tent in the dark (I have done it myself many times). Also handy for mishaps during tent assembly and dismantling.

Tarpaulin
Gives an extra bit of shade from the heat of the midday sun! Go for a tarp with the aluminium eyelets already fitted in place, then you can simply attach ropes or chord and stake down with a few spare tent pegs.

Sandwich Bags
Place a wad of wet wipes in a sandwich bag. These can then be carried in your bag or pocket. Better than carrying the whole lot around with you.

These suggestions made by Katy on Twitter. Thanks :o)
