"Do carry a Maglite. Just cos."

Music Some Glastonbury tips from a veteran: "Do take tent poles. A little obvious maybe, but trying to erect a hovel out of firewood while 50 hippies laugh at you is a miserable, splintery experience."

I've been camping a few times, usually family holidays and the most dispiriting time was sitting huddled together around an oil lamp at 8pm, the only entertainment being a radio which could only pick up the local radio station which that evening was broadcasting a three hour documentary about Albert Pierpoint, the executioner.

I now can't hear his name without looking back at those good times.
