1. ‘Bring your own toilet roll – it’s an absolute must!’

3. ‘Walking boots are infinitely superior to wellies.’

4. ‘If you want a cheap, easy breakfast those instant porridge pots are a godsend – most coffee places will give you free hot water.’

5. ‘Bring earplugs and eye masks if you want to get any decent level of sleep during the weekend. And don’t forget to pack several portable chargers.’

6. ‘Bring sunscreen – a friend of mine looked like a pokemon ball after standing looking in the same direction with the sun on his right all day.’

7. ‘Dioralyte is the ultimate hangover cure at a festival.’

8. ‘Pack some toilet wet wipes – they’re more compact in your bag and make you feel fresh and clean.’

9. ’Bring a roll of black plastic bags. handy for lots of stuff but particularly if it rains or you’ve a crap tent – because you can shove stuff in there.’

10. ’I brought a tiny sewing kit I had gotten from a hotel one year thinking “ah you never know” and got great use out of it – I repaired the zip on my tent with it.’
