Did anyone stay at the Myhabs this year? Just wondering if they are any good for next year? How much were they and what all did ya get for your money?

I had a nosey at the site and its £240 for one for the weekend, you get a bit of a matress, no hassle of putting your tent up, less rowdy neighbours but still have to use the minging toilets.

you sure about this, i am sure i seen their own toilets in the field

Just what I heard from someone over the weekend, I could be wrong, it's happened before!

So is that £240 on top of two tickets as well?? Seems a bit steep, doesn't it?!!

correct

Seems a bit steep for a bit of cardboard... they just looked cosy but at that price I'm not so sure!

Didnt look that great, and I seen someone chuck a can of beer at one

myhabs were great!
stayed in one a T this year heres the low down,

theyre £240 on top of your ticket for T, for that you get the myhab which was very very comfy, waterproof and warm as hell! there is a lockable box inside and you are given a paddlock for it, the team take all your gear to your myhab and they do a run to the local supermarket everyday to keep you in fresh food. there was plenty of room at the myhabs so you could even get a game of football on the go!
The myhabs had toilets for the myhabbers and were supposed to have private showers although T didnt provide them so we had to use the general showers which we got to go to the head of the queue for and that seemed to cause a bit of animosity among others and yes, there was a few things thrown at the myhabs but they were extremely durable and held up well.

I feel they are a bit steep for what it is but at the same time i also feel we had value for money with the services provided and the fact we werent knee deep in shit as soon as we stepped outside, the area was clean and quiet and the myhab staff were really cool guys.

if you wanna check out more about them their website is at www.myhab.com

is it 1 person per myhab?

nah theyre for 2 people so in effect it works out £120 per person but theyd easily sleep 3 in comfort and 4 at a bit of a push.
the clean toilets are defo worth it tho!

they got to jump to the front of the ludicrously long shower queue though

yeah but we were supposed to have showers in our field.
in truth i feel the myhabs should never have been where they were. shouldve been more out of view and they wouldve attracted less attention from pished up folks.

you mean kind of where the residence/tangerine fields was? yeah it did look a nice easy target tbh

Thanks for the info - might actually give them a go next time then (and hopefully the showers will be sorted by then! ). I stayed in one of the tipi's this year, and it was nice but well expensive for what you were getting so myhabs may be the way to go then going on your recommendation!

Got to agree with all of this. Lack of our own showers was a bit of a pain when we had to skive the queue.

We (8 of us) stayed in Guns N' Roses section and the other folk who were pitched there were really sound - Had a good laugh with them. I wouldn't recommend more than 2 adults to a myhab tho - We had plenty room but I think you'd pushing it if you tried to squeeze 3 in there.

According to the myhab guys, they'll be pushing to get showers installed next year (assuming they agree to getting a pitch from Big Day Oot).

Does anyone have pics of the myhabs???

i was in the stone roses section at the myhabs, i know what you mean about more folks in a myhab but i was just trying to explain the size of them.
i think one of the best things was having our own water supply! that made a difference!
myhabs are the way forward, i can see fests with myhabs only (expensive tho!)
i actually want to buy one of them to take to fests.
im writing a tune for their website and meeting up with them at wickerman to let them hear the finished tune. unfortunately not staying in a myhab for wickerman cos im away to turkey at the end of august so need to save up for it!!

if you go to www.myhab.com and take the product tour youll see inside and out and a bit about the construction although i think a bit of it has changes cos ours didnt have cardboard tubes inside, they were plastic.

For the price you're paying you could easily stay in a hotel.

Posh c**ts.

nothin posh about it, if people want to spend their money on that then so be it.

so hold on a minute whats the difference between a myhab and the tangerine fields?????? apart from 100 and odd pound

what do the myhabs offer that the tangerine place dont

sounds like jealousy lol

a thing that looks like a kennel

hahahaha they do dont they!

thing is we did feel like posh c**ts in them and we felt sorry for everyone else in the tents, i cant do tents at T again now, theres no way back it was worth every penny for a good sleep and i didnt feel that way i normally do on the sunday although i got about as much sleep as i normally do at T.

seriously though what is the difference?

well the tangerine fields where i stayed was just tents, the my habs were located between blue and red if i am right when you came into the campsite and looked like big white boxes. then up beside the tangerine fields is where the tipis and shit are. all different prices all have their own toilets although the tipi's did look posh though but it was sold with hospitality tickets in the price.

to be honest im not sure as i didnt see the TF at T but im sure myhabs was working out cheaper.
my wife done all the booking and i just went along with what she said for an easy life lol!

i think the myhab people got a bit of a raw deal then,

im going for the tangerine fields next year

im thinking about that too but the myhabs were fantastic, id recomend them to anyone!

i aslo heard that our myhab wristbands got us into the hospitality area too, only found that out on the monday (bollocks!) but they werent supposed to get us in, i wish id tried now wouldve saved a lot more money.

There was tangerine fields tents that were put up (I think there were 2, 4 or 6 man tents) and the residence which was a different part of the campsite (but owned by tangerine fields) and only the tipi's/podpads/yurts had the hospitality band.

Is the difference not that the myhabs have real matresses in them and the tangerine fields only have blow up ones? Also the myhabs are dearer @ £240 for 2, whereas the tangerine fields are £155 for 2 man tent with sleepings bags and mattress?

I could be wrong though.

yeah but the tipis have a matress lol

Yep, but the tipi's are nearly £1000....

[edit] and then you pay £20 deposit for the mattress.....

they are posh though, did anyone see these? you get driven to your tipis with all your shit and then hospitality tickets in the proce. would need to have some mega spare cash kicking about for these badboys lol

ok i know what the tipis, myhabs & tangeringe fields are buy what is the differance between all of them & a podpad?

What I don't get is the podpads are only like £50 cheaper than the tipi's. The podpads look well cute but for that money I'd want more than cute, I'd want comfort. I'd love to do the tipi thing, I think they look ace but I don't think T is the place for them. T is for slumming it haha.

Also am I the only one who doesn't get the shower thing? Personally I'd rather take my chances with my own filth than shower in the previous ???? many peoples filth. I'd be scared to bend over to pick up the soap in case my arse touched the manky sides or something.

I had one this year as have never been to T in the park before and wasn't really sure what to expect. Decided to splash out on that instead of a holiday and they were really nice. It's the first year they've run it though so everything was a bit topsy turvy - there were things that some people paid for and never got (like driven to the tipi's and fast-tracked through the queue to get in and stuff ) but it was nice up there! Would recommend if you think you can afford but feel I maybe missed a bit of the whole festival due to not camping - that's why I'm thinking tangerine fields or myhabs for next year (cannae be assed taking a tent... just want to get my drink on when I get there!!).

ML Podpads are v cute and have little sunflower solar panels on them!

I was chatting to a podpadder in the queue for the ladies in hospitality and she was a having a great wee time to herself. Said there was a great podpadder community spirit.

i spoke to a girl in the myhabs who said shed tried everything that T had to offer and she said that myhabs were the best yet, yeah they are expensive but i think its value for money that counts, obviously some people will have good things to say whilest others wil have bad things to say, i personaly loved them as did the rest of our group.
thing is were not spring chickens and like to have some creature comforts, best thing tho was we didnt have tents to carry so more beer was taken!

Either that or I'm taking the piss out of Disco Dave who is one of my mates.

Yeah, I think it's definitely that.

I would rather bite the end of my own cock than make use of one of these private camping arangements

If you could bite the end of your own cock you'd never leave the house!

Or your myhab (hello stranger!)

I have mixed feelings about these 'luxury camping' options

We stayed in a beach hut at Rockness last year (won it as a competition prize) and it was nice but no way was it worth the £600 it would have cost.

Yes you are in a secure private compound, with showers and toilets usually but that's where the good bits end.

Compared to staying in the main campsite like we did this year at Rockness, there was no atmosphere. Yes the people are nice but part of the experience of most festivals is the campsite banter with your mates and random strangers. Of course you still get this in the luxury camping areas, but I personally prefer being on the real world.

And of course they are popular, they are at most festivals all over the UK now and they don't come cheap. Also they are taking up room in the campsite, where you could have maybe fitted an extra couple of hundred 'ordinary' campers in.

Of course people can afford it and prefer staying in them, but it starts to create a class divide too.. jumping into the front of queues etc..

Festivals are moving on and if this brings in extra money to the organisers then fair enough, I just think they have a time and a place at certain festivals and T isn't one of them.

it was like a wee holiday camp, was brilliant. will never do anything else at a fest again. pod padding is the way forward.
we had our 12v cool box chilling our drinks, luxury CLEAN showers and toilets and vanity rooms too.
free tea and coffee, which is lush 1st thing in the morning. only downside was it was a hell of a trek to the arena from the residence.

the hospitality was a big bonus, i never used the manky toilets once all weekend. stood next to paulo nutini in the loo queue in hosp on the sat. didn't even realise was him till someone pointed it out. lol

basically i would rather stay in a tent

more of an experiance than being in a fenced off Zone with people with more money than sence
and the price for a little thing that looks like a mis-shaped tent seems a bit silly

I had a hospitality pass but still used the normal arena loos plenty of times coz hospitality was such a trek from certain stages. Hosp. loos were good coz they flushed and had proper sinks but sometimes I queued for longer than I had at the arena portaloos and the smell in the hosp. ones was awful

when i first saw them, the first thing that crosses my mind was - "they must be allowing animals in now, there are dog kennels over there..."

this year was my 6th t in the park, and I have camped every time but after getting pregnant just after getting my ticket I decieded to treat myself with one of these wee chappys...They were fantastic....Any money that I would of spent on booze at the weekend payed for my 'myhab'. I was also there this year with my sister, left hubby at home looking after our toddler, and both my sister and I agree that we could'nt of felt safer....The folk that were running the site were so nice and helpful. Our 'my hab' was near the centre of the field and we didn't experience anything being thrown at us. I slept like a baby and woke up feeling clean and refreshed.

I stayed in the Tangerine Fields, this was my 4th T and the thought of carrying all the camping gear made me go for it but i was worried about the atmosphere.

Have to say it was great, the banter was brilliant, it wasn't far away and the staff were really helpful. They patrolled the campsite and you felt your stuff was safe. It also had it's own toilets which were usually fine. If they added showers next year it would be perfect
