The ultimate Glastonbury festival gadget guide

Bikinio girl with a dog mask

If you’re like me you would have be planning and writing lists way in advanced for what to take to Glastonbury. This year I actually discovered all you need is a tent, beer, a bikini, a spiderman suit and a dog head mask. Okay well not quite, but this seems like the only items I required for most of the duration. On reflection I have thought about what else would of been handy and would have made the experience if not better (not sure thats poss), but easier. Heres my top picks from a selection Laskys. http://bit.ly/1pLQH2

Iphone battery

Notoriously God awful! There is of course the Orange charge tent. Its pretty good, in that the queue isn’t that long and there were guest band appearances too. To my delight Blame it on Coco were on whilst I was in there. But they were only on for about 10 mins and I could not take the heat. It was basically a massive green house with the glorious sunshine beating down. Not good on a massive hangover! Best i’d say to grab yourself one of these

Personal Care

If you can’t make it to the shower everyday or don’t want to waste your time queuing go for the baby wipe shower and for hair removal an electric shaver or for the braver an epilator. I definitely rate these little devices but you need to get over the pain and remember red spots will appear a few days later. An epilate a few days before would prob mean you wont require shaving for the whole festival.

Make sure you take a shaver that operates cordlessly!

Tent Music

Required for early morning and late at night went you and your mates are chillin round your tents. A good pair of battery operated mp3 player speakers.

Back Ache

The healings fields at Glastonbury do provide a message service but if you got a willing friend then grab why not take your own massager! Great for when the back ache from dancing and sitting crossed legged on the hard floor for four days, kicks in!
