Cool Ways to Kill Time at Leeds Festival?

Wind Up Phone Charger Perfect For Leeds Festival
One of the main problems 21st century festival goers have is a flat mobile phone battery half way through the festival weekend. To help combat this, Millets have launched a wind up phone charger. I think this would be very useful at Leeds Festival, and its not too expensive either.
“A working mobile phone is essential to keep in touch with friends and family when you’re away, and it could be a lifesaver if you ever got into trouble. This wind-up charger will provide enough power to a phone to enable a call to be made wherever you are: just wind and call — it’s that simple!” says the Millets website
