Festivals can be a
daunting experience for first-timers.
The
One Louder Festivals
survival guide
should give you some tips...
- 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!
