My tip is to identify your tent by means of a flag pole or something similar. When you're wandering back to the campsite in the dark, every tent looks the same! I've got a Grateful Dead flag & long flag pole!

I think it was a bit damp.
I've got asthma aswell so I'll suffocate if I sleep in mould!
Off to the camping store then, unless I can convince the long-suffering Jen to clean it for me.
Watch this space.

You can soak it in a solution of Milton to get the worst of any mould off ... but it will be impossible to get rid of it completely.

My mate's just bought a ' fishing trolley' for transporting his tent, beer etc, at the Greenman. Hopefully the big wheels will be able to cope with any terrain. (I'm not sure how 'compact' it will be when folded down, though...)  [/quote] Good call there, I've been on the look out for a decent trolley with large wheels for a while now. That one fitted the bill so I've just ordered one.  |

Maybe Humboltsquid & I should ask tackleoutlet.co.uk for a commission!

If you can't find your tent. Just go in to the nearest tent and lay your head down there. The occupants won't mind. It's the Green Man festival. We all help each other out.

Unless it's very windy and/or your tent is exposed your guy ropes wont be doing anything other than tripping people up. Make it easy on your self and everybody else and don't bother with them.
however if your a spider-person and plan on catching human beings in your tent web, carry on as you were.

My fishing trolley arrived today and seems to be totally ideal for the purpose. I recommend it to anyone who's looking for such a thing, and it arrived pretty darn quick too.

My top tip is don't get sick in the tent the night before the festival starts!

My 'fishing' trolley arrived on Monday so it was a pretty quick turnaround, haven't had time to open it yet but will be having a little play tonight.  |

The only thing you'll need to do is inflate the tyres! I think that they're 30 PSI.

They are 30 PSI, and the fitting is the same as a car tyre, so I just used the little compressor I keep in the boot.
The trolley doesn't come with any instructions, but isn't rocket science to put together so you'll be allright. You just have to put the wheels on (two washers and a clip per wheel).

Open a tin of beer before you put the tent up and don't stop drinking until you take it down at the end. You don't care if the missus is moaning about the tent looking a mess or being in the wrong place once yer p!ssed |

Dont put the tent up to close to the toilets, because they stink, dont put the tent up to far away from the toliets, because thats just stupid.
Dont forget to take toilet role with you for obvious reasons.

Watch out for bongos when choosing a camping spot.
