I recommend 8 pints of Real Ale and half a tin of Rich German Snuff the night before.

I'm doing it this year as well. My dad has done it the past 2 years and is doing it again with me. The main advice he was giving me was to make sure you drink plenty, which judging by the amount of water stop there apparently are, shouldn't be a problem. I'm probably just gonna take it easy, enjoy the scenery and take in the atmosphere. Well excited.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
