...my thermal undies

Hogmanay in Edinburgh and all those winter fire festivals are fun, but I'm glad I wear an extra layer or two of thermal underwear. Think skiing and you'll have it about right in the layers department

earplugs

Sure... the music's great, but when there's a party going on outside your tent at 3am and you just want to sleep you'll be very glad indeed you've got a set of these in your bag...

Allergy Tablets

I was dying with hayfever last year and had to take a trip to the first aid tent, I shall not be fooled by the british summer again this year.

also...

Remember to bring along some ibuprofen (because the sun can beat down on you or you could be sitting too close to the speaker stand) and antacids (because you never know about those food stands.)

—Guest monica l.

...a headache cure
