First time at Leeds...

Any advice on what campsites are decent (not too manic but dont wana be on brown!) Also..if I'm arriving Thursday afternoon what are the chances of getting on a decent site? There's only 4 of us, so no huge big pitch needed !?

Cheers

We got there last year around 1ish. It was pretty packed but we (3) managed to get a spot next to some of our group who'd come earlier. Depending on how big your tents are you might get lucky like we did and find a spot in blue but Orange/Green are more likely i think...

You'll find it very difficult to get a space in most campsites, however when I went in 08 we arrived at a similar time and managed to get a spot in Orange. If you don't want to be ridiculoulsy cramped / on a hill / on a path, then you'd probably be better off just pitching in Green.

As has been said above, If your lucky you might find a space in Orange but probably in a shit spot. Green looks most likely.

How far of a walk is the green from the arenas?! Will it feel like 10miles in the dark when pissed?!

Probably, but that's half the fun! The things you can get upto in a drunken stagger from the arena in the dark! :-)  Enjoy!!

Very true, a ten minute walk can easily turn into a couple of hours when you keep stopping to talk to people.

The walk from the Lock up to the NME tent took us from when Alexisonfire had ended until 30 seconds before Faith No More came on.

I think that was just under two hours.
