    Bring around 30 litres of water. If the weather is going to be anything like it was last year, you're going to need it. Also, don't put your tent near walkways or the toilets.

    Yeah bring lots of water. They didn't have the water tent up and running until the second day last year.
    Hit the supermarket on the first day! Can't stress this enough, it closes on the Sunday, so stock up. It's great, can get everything you need, it's about 15 minutes walk from the campsite. It's pretty cheap too.

    Think that's the main thing :). It's run very well. :D
