#9: Charge free of charge
Virgin Mobile will also have five free mobile phone charging points available, regardless of your usual network, so you never have to worry about your phone running out of juice. Lost your mates? Use the recharge points as meeting place - they're all numbered 1 to 5 and have a map on them. You can also get vouchers and emergency chargers from the Virgin Mobile Union Bar.
Not the showers
#10: Take a shower
You don't get this at Glastonbury! V has warm water showers in the campsites so you can wash off all that festival dirt. As you'd expect, the queues can get long first thing in the morning.
#11: Don't bring valuables
V Festival has a very good safety record but criminals will always find a way - so it's best to leave anything of worth at home. There will be a lock-up facility at the Welfare Tent that you can use, but it's best to carry things like money, credit cards, mobile phones, cameras and so on with you at all times.
Mucky girls
#12: Be prepared
Of course, this being England, it could be hailing one minute and bright sunshine the next so try to prepare for every eventuality. Bring along both a waterproof jacket and light summer clothes, both boots and sandals/flip-flops, both a woolly hat and a sun hat, and so on - then you can enjoy V, whatever the weather may bring.
