Yes but I bet you don't often see them trying to reverse and do a 3 point turn on a walkway with a few thousand people trying to get past at the same time

it felt like every time i was on a path i had to move out the way for a massive tractor or some sort of vehicle.

Yes they are big but all I saw were driven responsibly.

Vehicles were few and far between this year imo. There was the occasional pedestrian gridlock because of single vehicles parked up or moving but I put that down to inexperienced festival drivers rather than volume of traffic or pedestrians.

[laid back in the sun]

massive yes, noisy yes, but still totally invisible to one of the lads in our group on saturday night until it finally had to stop about two feet away from him and scared the shite out of him when he finally noticed it  

[preacherman_1]

We seen one run over a tent... thankfully nobody was in it, this was near the football feild.

Also one parked diagonally across the walkway between the mainstage and other stage if you went as if you were going to dance village... the driver then despite having a massive crowd gridlocked around him due to one side being cut off by stewards due to a wasps nest tried to reverse... nevermind 2 feet he was inches away from running a few folk over and then continued trying to turn anyway.

yeah, there were so many more vehicles this year than last. it was a little annoying, but understandable at the same time.

Yes...even more so when its parked right outside your tent at 7.30am every morning selling milk.

[Cooter]

Ah yes the milk selling tractors, they seem to be there every year. I'm sure this is a traditional kind of thing rather than an essential need to supply needy campers. Do we all really need such massive tractors dispersed around the site supplying milk!?

[albert_hofmann]

It is a tradition thing
back in the good ol' hippy days the milk was given away every morning fresh from the herd
even that has had to move with the times
now its processed, bottled and sold
capitalism, don't ya love it...
