There’s not much that can be done apart from keeping calm and carrying on TBH. But there are a couple of things you can do to minimise the muddiness: • Wellies are your friend. Don’t forget them. • Shove two spare tent pegs in the ground to put your boots on while inside your tent. Stops Mud from getting inside. • Keep your phone and wallet in a zip-up sandwich bag to keep them dry and mud-less. • A bin bag with three holes for your head and arms makes a great improvised poncho. • When mud-wrestling, it is generally considered bad form to use a steel chair.

CRIME

Good news: Last year, crime at Glastonbury was at its lowest ever (Source: The Metro). Bad news: This won’t be much of a consolation if your phone gets nicked. With any large gathering of dancing, happy people there will always be a few jerks trying to ruin it by stealing everything that isn’t nailed down. The obvious answer is, don’t have anything worth stealing. Leave the MP3 player at home! You are going to a festival to listen to live music, non-stop for days on end! You don’t need it with you. The same applies to passports, jewellery that isn’t made of plastic and your mum’s priceless Ming vase (what on earth were you thinking?!?)
