More importantly, I'm going to a music festival this weekend.
What staggeringly brilliant top tips have you people discovered at such events?

Stand your shaving mirror at the other end of your biggest room,
and look at it through binoculars while holding the sword with the other hand

Latitude Festival had "long drop" toilets
It fucking stank, and luckily it wasn't any warmer otherwise it would have been a lot worse. It was OK day 2, but by day 3 pissing into 2 foot of human waste was not pleasant, especially as underneath it was all open so you could see what the person next to you was doing.

Wheelbarrows are excellent,
as you can cart all of your stuff from your car to the site in one go, which is excellent, and when lined with a sleeping bag they make an excellent seat.

Which brings me on to my second point, which is bin bags.
Take a roll of black bin bags, which can be used not only for storing rubbish but also for covering anything you don't want to get wet, including, with head and armholes cut into them, yourself.

Wear trousers with many pockets
It's easier than carrying round a bag and won't get in the way in the busy areas. Also, go home each night, rather than camping.
