As you can see from photo A my tent did not quite make it through Benicassim in one piece. Bearing in mind it was a full week of Sandstorms, bush fires and alcoholic 14 year olds contaminated with swine flu I think it did surprisingly well. I'm heading to Reading this afternoon and since I'm a bum I've managed to get free entry as long as I serve the Reading crowds their long sought for sweet tender beverages for 6 hours a day. Free entry, food and drink to a festival, not a bad deal! This time though I am not taking any chances, my packing for Benicassim was somewhat naive to say the least but this time I'm ready for all weather conditions and mindless teens. So here is the check list for the forthcoming bad holiday weekend of madness:
£9.99 tent - check
Dad's sleeping bag - check
Little Bros wellies - check
2 pairs of jeans - check
heavy duty rain coat - check
carry mat - check
assorted range of flannel shirts - check
torch - check
undergarments - check
toothbrush - check
Jack Kerouac's on the road - check
I think that is everything apart from the all important food and baby wipes which I will collect en route. Enjoy the bank holiday weekend people and I will hopefully see you on the other side with everything in tact! (I know it's not going to happen, but I can at least dream it will)
