Embraced the cliched bucket hat, celebrate The Ashes with a cricket fielder’s sombrero, but just don’t succumb to fainter’s folly of saying, ‘I’m just not that much of a hat person’. Hopefully, it will be a warm, sunny festival this year, and that requires you to meet it sensibly.

3. Essential Headwear
Now, in the age of Instagram and dodgy tagged Facebook photos, of course you don’t want to look like Worzel Gummidge emerging from a hedge, but find a good hat that’ll keep the sun off and keep you cool. You can always buy one there, but that Saturday afternoon sun can be a killer, and you don’t want to end up headlining the welfare tent with sun-stroke.

Yes, may have been checking the weather app for the last three months and think you stand a chance of getting away with a cool pair brothel creepers, but the chances are the weather app will be wrong. You don’t want to be the only one with a horrific blister out of your mates. And in rain and mud, trench-foot is even less fun. Go safe and go sturdy.

2. Essential Footwear
A point of equally high importance: you can’t and won’t outsmart the Somerset terrain in a pair of Primark plimsolls, just don’t even bother. You need comfortable, reliable and ideally weatherproof boots or shoes which will handle all eventualities.

Also, while your at it, sack off that little B&M trolley you’ve bought, it’ll cause you far more problems than the mere £10 it’s worth… those smalls plastic wheels aren’t going to last on Glastonbury’s hallowed turf longer than two minutes (rain or shine). A simple rucksack and raincoat should do the trick, everything else takes care of itself.

Whether you’re on the coach, in the back of a Ford Fiesta or on the train, this is the most crucial piece of wisdom we can possibly give you. Pack for all eventualities, of course, but make sure what you do pack is also adaptable for all eventualities. You won’t thank yourself for packing four coats, six jumpers and five pairs of shoes when you’ve finally reached those blessed gates and now have to scale a city the size of Oxford to find where your mates have found a spot… (which will most certainly be as far away as you can imagine, somewhere amid hills that only Frodo Baggins has previously had to contend with).

With that in mind, we have compiled our knowledge and expertise. We’ve tapped up the veterans in our ranks and garnered their sage advice. Fail to heed it at your own risk. There are a thousand of other titbits we could have imparted – from packing wipes to digging out a she-wee – but for the sake of not blinding you with science, we’ve kept our list down to ten essential Glastonbury survival tips.

As you struggle through the masses, you will see seasoned fellows who have clearly become part of the festival, woven into its essence like those petrified people at Pompeii. You will wonder how they have survived this yearly assault on the senses and come back for more in their autumn years. And they will all tell you: ‘It gets easier every year’.

This could be you too, but there are plenty of pitfalls that you have to avoid. You are entering a city-sized carnival/battleground and you have to be prepared. Land is a premium, toilets are perilous, stages are distant beacons that glint with possibilities, and in amongst it is little old you. You’re going to need all the help you can get.

Nothing worthwhile in life ever comes easy. From training the palette to enjoy olives and oat sodas to the months of saving and stress of the airport before basking in the bliss of the Costa Del Sun, a lot of the best things in life come as reward for hard work and waiting. Glastonbury Festival, likewise, is an Everest. The airbrushed euphoria presented on the BBC is a lie, those thousands in the field are battle-scarred and bewildered, but with a bit of luck, they’re also having the proverbial time of their life.
