"Keep warm and dry." Glastonbury Packing List Tip by Steve-H

Glastonbury What to Pack: 3 reviews and 3 photos

  It's a long walk when you are wet and miserable.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I've climbed a lot of things but I love the walk up Glastonbury Tor, it isn't always sunny, in fact I've been up there in thick snow and torrential rain so my advice is to always take warm and waterproof clothing, stout boots and if you possibly can, a thermos of tea and a mobile phone just in case. This isn't the alps but people have slipped off the side of the hill in bad weather and been hurt, I've seen tourists walking up there in the most awful weather in fashion jackets and trainers, no hats, no water-proof clothing. It can take longer than you think to get up, take photos and get down again, be prepared and keep warm or you'll just be miserable.

Photo Equipment: Great views in all directions from the top of the Tor but bad weather can ruin equipment. If you are filming use a wind sock on your Microphone.
