Ten Things We Learnt At Bestival 2011 Photos by Dan Dennison

1) Never Leave Anything Important In Your Back Pocket When Visiting Portaloos
This is including, but not exclusive to, your ferry tickets home.

2) On That Note As Far As Festival Toilets Go…
Posh loos > Long Drops > Portaloos > Compost Toilets

3) If You Want Breakfast Quickly…
Make it yourself or have a cereal bar.

4) Always Arrive With Enough Time To Work Out Who You're Camping Near
Otherwise you do run the risk of seriously resenting them when they pop by for a cup of sugar at 4.37am and land on your head and break your tent.

5) Similarly, If You Arrive Late And There's Loads Of Space
It's probably because that stage there goes on until 5am. But that's alright, as long as you don't mind being rocked to sleep by the bass.

6) Adam Ant Is Everyone's Favourite Fancy Dress Character
Closely followed by Freddie Mercury, Katy Perry and Slash.

7) There Are Literally Tens Of Uses For A Bin Liner.
When trapped on an island for a few days, you will find most of them.

8) Two And A Half Hours Is a Really Long Time
Even when one of your favourite bands is playing. In that time, it might be worth confirming that…

9) There's More To Festival Food Than Burgers & Fallafel
But tables and chairs are not always a sign of good foodstuffs.

10) When Facing Serious Amounts Of Rain…
Most things with the word 'Waterproof' in the title have a sudden change of heart.
