Festival body tips from a midlife raver to those going to #emfcamp!

* hydrate starting now. Your body actually stores up water from a day or two before, so doing it now is better than trying to do it there, plus nicer loos at home for the eventual release! Obv also there, but pre hydrate is actually more important.
* stack protein now if you can so you can nom what the hell you like there and your body won't start eating muscle for energy. [1/2]

@castaway @cw it is #EMFCamp as the one true hashtag

@cw The offical tag is #EMFCamp - adding so people following it see.

#EMFCamp roadtrip step -1 (maybe): go to Heathrow to meet @hatvillage 's Vienna contingent

So I rented a camper van for #emfcamp this year thinking it would be more comfortable. It is a three bed camper van. Got a third of the way last night and discovered that none of the beds work.

I’ve had a lovely nap in a chair at least. Neither of my travelling companions got much sleep.

Off to B&Q now to see if I can Hack The Camper™

I’m walking the dog and can probably find this out In the site but in regards to #EMFcamp is it just those setting up who are arriving today or can anybody arrive today? I noticed the program didn’t properly start till tomorrow.
My Dog would also like to know. Even though she’s not coming.

Some say it is Day 0 of EMF.  We refuse to believe it's here already, even if our monitoring systems protest otherwise.

All we know is: the uplink is up, the DKs are rolled out (mostly) and we've been taking a moment to enjoy a selection of savoury goods on our cha-cheese router. It even has a toastie oven module slot.

At the centre of frame, Juniper MX-5T chassis router sits atop a blue-green picnic bench, in an area of dry, yellowed grass. There is a small tablecloth draped over the router, and four pots of assorted crackers have been laid out in a row at the back end of the chassis. At the right edge of the photo a volunteer wearing hi vis is laying out more of the switchboard-cheeseboard. On the left of the photo, a BLÅHAJ is sitting on the picnic table about a foot away from the router, watching it all happen.

A top-down photo of the switchboard-cheeseboard showing salamis, a wheel of brie and of another cheese, a pot of whole olives, seasoned chicken breast slices, and four types of cracker. Not pictured are the freshly chopped tomatoes that are yet to arrive. An empty plate with a table knife sits alongside the Juniper MX-5T chassis router; finally there are a few glimpses of the volunteers enjoying the delicacies at the edges of the photo.

Things are going well. We've only just landed in the UK and blob is already misbehaving. 🙄

Luggage conveyor belt at the airport. On the side there's a sign "Please do not sit on the conveyor belt". And guess who's sitting there, staring at you with their neon green eyes. Right, it's blob, the purple tentacle creature.

Colour matched seats? 💜

And we're finally on the way to Ledbury!

Blob, the purple tentacle creature is being held to the window of a train, looking outside. Another train is visible outside.

The train terminated earlier and was delayed so much that we missed the next train to Ledbury. Now at +90minutes. At least according to the GWR delay repay info this journey should be free. And blob is enjoying the additional time with AC in the train.

The Duck Facts app has a button for fetching facts from the web, but that uses an API that I found, rather than data that was diligently independently researched and verified.

Fear not, you don't need a network connection (except to install the app, which you could even do tethered/offline). For the most accurate, delicately piquant, small-batch, hand-curated facts: shake the badge.

The app has other features, for you to discover.

Quack.

Two days before #emfcamp (for normies ie non-orga / volunteers etc).

Has @glastonledburyshire_on_severn gone to war with the whole of the British Isles yet?

Getting in early-doors on this year's #OverheardAtEMFCamp #EMFCamp

This could be an ‘every day in my house’ problem or an #EMFcamp problem, but I just spilled a load of googly eyes all over the floor. 👀

Is anybody else at kid-on-Christmas-Eve bouncing-off-the-walls levels of #EMFCamp excitement?

First Flamin' Galahs #EMFCamp BBQ has occurred! Here at my "Working from Field" office.

A bit of "piri piri" pork over charcoal.

A laptop setup on a table, pork chops to the right on the table next to a mouse, a weber kettle just beyond, then tents.

Seems that we are almost ready for @emf #emfcamp #emf2026

Still can't find my 2024 #EMFcamp badge but have found an unopened 2018 one. Notsure the SIM card will still be valid but anyone want to swap for the 2024 version? ;-)

I have been summoned to #emfcamp by an envoy @emfSpiders #emfcamp #emfspiders

@danielthepope Neither, they are provided by #emfcamp with the workshop tent :)

See you there

who’s going to #EMFCamp this week?

Alright. Talk written. Game working. NFC ducks are all in a row.

It's time to drive a camper van 600 miles southward. #EMFCamp

1. Find old #EMFCamp burner laptop
2. Find laptop power supply & charge battery
3. Remember disk encryption password

Fuck.

Spending lots of time this morning cuddling with my cat. He’s seen the bag getting packed for #EMFCamp and knows it always means I’m going away and he gets extra clingy.
