Gents with D500's - where did you get your spare batteries from (dont say a phone shop :| ) £10 for 2 sounds like a decent deal for me.
I read that there are charging points at a place run by orange onsite, but i imagne that will mean queueing to charge it up. which is just gay.

Delivered the next day as well. Just watch out if you do purchase off ebay for sellers from HK you'll be waiting an age. I'll dig out the fellas shop if you like Piemonte

ticket + ID - hope my fucking citizen card comes else I'm stuck with my passport, and that's pretty mangled anyway
tent + sleeping bag (use old clothes as pillow)
1 or 2. 24xbeers - have to carry them but useful for drinkage on wed/thur for saving money.
1. 2 or 3 litre bottle of water - don't need loads but handy to have something you can refill to take to bed with you.
clothes - think I'll risk weather being nice. Most annoying thing last year when it was muddy wasn't that I didn't have wellies, just that if you just wanted to chill and listen to a band you couldn't sit down. So...
black bags.
rizlas + baccy - might have been lucky but the last 2 times I've been it's been pretty cheap to buy weed there.
Some sort of torch device.
Might go see if they are still selling those 30 mins extra talk time moblie things in pound land, worth blagging a few of those, cheaper than taking batteries.
Maybe some sort of flaggag - although might just stay in the same place as I have last 2 times, in which case should be ok anyway.

I may just carry it round on my back like a snail, throw it up in the air where I collapse and pass out.

A good tent is a great thing, I bought my present one years ago.....they don''t make them any more.....its like an old friend though, we've been through a lot together.
I felt its finest moment was on the Shetland Islands......when a storm nearly blew it and me away......but I dismantled part of a nearby wall and built inside the tent, then drunk a load of whiskey to get to sleep.
