Bit more on it than last time I did a list like this. At least then I remembered train ticket, tent and sleeping bag (which I have forgotten from the first version of this list), but look, I was also planning to take a folding chair it seems. Really? It would have to be a very lightweight one for me to bother with now. Also my Pac-Safe, I am not sure I'd take that now as I don't have much to take that I would leave lying around, and there'd be nowhere safe to lock it too would there?

1. Tote bag? Small backpack? Bum bag? To carry round the site in the day.
2. For stuffing clothes in and using as a pillow.
3. There is a Glastonbury parkrun! I can do it.
4. Not a lot of washing going on.
5. My favourite travelling socks, assuming I'll be in them for the whole event!
6. This is new, could be important, otherwise this is a lot of days on one charge.
7. Got a new one with built in USBC lead now.
8. Good for the long journey there.
