Based on my travel checklist and hostel checklist. No, pen torch is still not on there twice.

Things I am leaving off the list for now that I had taken previously:

folding chair, too heavy. Of course I would not consider something like this in 2024, but I had it on my list from twenty years ago...
Pac-Safe, nowhere secure to lock it to is there? Hmm they mostly make bags now, but this is the thing I have.

I go to Glastonbury less often than I go on holiday or even than I stay in a hostel for work, but I have had a few versions of this list over the decades so let's keep it up to date.

Yeah went without this one year...
Pleased with this, stop losing my stuff, but also find my way back to the tent!
Tote bag? Small backpack? Bum bag? To carry round the site in the day.
This is something I found on an old reminder list! Keep stuff dry! Weather dependent.
For stuffing clothes in and using as a pillow.
There is a Glastonbury parkrun! I can do it.
Not a lot of washing going on, but already this is not looking that minimal.
Titanium fork / spoon. OK spork if you prefer.
My favourite Patagonia travelling socks, assuming I'll be in them for the whole event!
This is new, could be important, otherwise this is a lot of days on one charge.
Hmm, head torch maybe? Is three torches excessive? Two is one, and one is none, they say.
Don't want to take all my own food and drink with me, but just light stuff to see me through between burger vans.
Only really in case the originals get wet.
Got a new one with built in USBC lead now.
Going to need to take two to be safe I think.
Good for the long journey there.
