This piece about the stupid advice the fashion industry slings out about "festival essentials" got me thinking about the stuff that gets your through a weekend. I've found taking two pairs of socks per day, leaving an extra pair of trainers in the car (or in a carrier bag at bottom of my bag) is always handy, and a bag of apples are never not a good idea. Also a big fan of a Strawberry Split from an ice cream van for breakfast.
