    Top tip, you can take sealed water bottles into the arena. You can cut the top off a doner bottle of water, stick it in boiling water and pop the whole cap and unbroken seal off with a screwdriver, then stick it on another bottle full of gin/vodka.

      Lockers used to be shit, you would put them in and get them out only half charged. Just buy chargers, for example a 20000 mah battery pack will charge your phone 5 times (my phone is 4000mah battery, so 20000/4000=5)

Again, if you're young you might like one closer. Generally closer = rowdier. Just don't put a lock on your tent, it advertises you have something to steal. Your valuables should be on your person, at nighttime put them up by your head, and just use some common sense and you'll be fine.
