We got trollied, as such
Went to Bestival 2007 and had the genious idea of taking a little trolley thing so we could wheel our stuff about and thus take more booze and tings.

The Bestival site has a giant-normous hill as you go in, which you descend to the main arena and camp sites. The trolley did not enjoy this hill and the wheels promptly came off, creating a bob-sleigh type thing only there was no snow.

Had the best festival weekend of my life (I may tell some more stories if I get the chance/ can remember them) and then came time to pack up and leave...

If the trolley didn't like going down the hill, it absolutely despised going back up it again. Cue me and my mate taking it in turns to push the bloody thing a few yards, then collapse in hungover, heat stokey anguish. After about 2 house of pushing we made the summit amid a smattering of applause.

We couldn't help but jump up and down ala Rocky before collapsing for another hour or so to get our strength back.



Then it was just a small matter of getting the thing back from the Isle of White to Oxford on the train...
