How handy was my PACMAT at the festival?    Enjoying the view above the Ribbon Tower.   Waiting for the next band.   Spotted an old Glastonbury PACMAT in the crowd.   A relaxing early Sunday afternoon at the Pyramid with Herbie Hancock.   Waiting at the Other Stage.   And another stage!   Getting chilly at the Pyramid. The Solo worked a treat as an extra layer on my shoulders, and later as a sarong.    And when it was all over. Recovery.

We just loved reading about Mother Freckle, Daddy Freckle and their two young girls at Bestvial this year. "Camp Bestival: We love you!" Here you can see her with her eldest and a cart of stuff - all covered by a PACMAT to keep it dry. "We love ours and take it everywhere from camping to a picnic in the park. It's ace. They roll up so small you wouldn't believe it and are waterproof so you will not get a wet bum!" We have teamed up with Mother Freckle for a golden giveaway. Follow @mother_freckle and @rubbastuff on instagram, then...
