- TOP 10 DYNAMO
TIPS
We had a problem finding the actual site at
first, it's a long walk from the town center but they do provide buses which are
free from the site, and £2 to get back which, for the length of the run is
value for money believe me! We highly recommend this fest though and here are my
top ten tips for DYNAMO.
- 1. Just do it, Go there, Experiance
it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
- 2. If you like a nice
smoke then buy it there, it's cheap, legal, and readily
available from wandering blokes.
-
- 3. Do not set up camp near the campsite
stage/too near the loos/on low ground. If you set up camp near the
entrance to your campsite, and you get anything more than 10 mins of
drizzle you will end up in a swamp because of the hoards of people
walking/squelching past.
-
- 4. Buy your lager in a
supermarket over there, it's very cheap and very strong,
if you are cider drinker, again you must take it with
you.
-
- 5. Check the weather forecast, you don't
know how far you might have to walk, if you've got some idea of whether to
take woolies and wellies or vests and flip-flops it will lighten your
load. If the weather changes drastically you can always wear the bin-bags
you conveniently packed.(!)
-
- 6. Take lots of sun
protection, even if the weather forecast is bad, the sun
over there is very powerful.
-
- 7. Don't worry if you
haven't got a tent, last year there was a stall that sold
everything from tents and sleeping bags, to garden flares
and razors.
-
- 8. On the other hand, in
the campsite it's self there was a cash dispenser,
telephones and an information service!!!
-
- 9. Food and drink there is
cheap compared to British festivals, but take loads of
money as the clothes stalls are also cheap! But really,
if there is an emergency and you lose everything you own
due to natural disaster etc.. You'll be stuck.
-
- 10. Drive yourself or in a
convoy or hitch if necessary, it's good to get there
early if you want to get a decent campsite and some of
the early bands. I've friends who have been on the coach
tours and had no problem but I like the added convenience
of having my car and dictating my pace, personal
preference only. When we went it was the first time I had
driven abroad, but he shared the driving with our mate
Chris. (make sure you get your car serviced before you
go, it's worth it.)
So there you have it, let your
hair down and enjoy your self. If you've never experienced a
festival yet, then you must!
