Very chilled, lot of families in the day and chairs, great workshops, but after dark the headline disco rounds it off a treat.This will be my 5th time, its a ladies weekend for me and my friends.(I use the word ladies in very loose terms)

I've met them before and have to agree. Still you always appear to be having great fun.

Er, 1 month to go and, as an early purchaser of tix, I'm getting increasingly concerned about the range of bands on offer. Don't get me wrong, perfectly happy to discover new music and approach it all with an open mind but I'm starting to wonder whether I should have plumped for tickets so early (pre-line up). Again, it's not the line up that's the determining factor for a good festival by any means - but I'd like some time to discover new artists pre-festival as well via the internet.

Any news on any further updates organisers? (I'm still holding out for a late booking for The Cat Empire or Fat Freddy's Drop myself...)

It's not over-rivettin' is it - but, I'm working, which probably means I'll miss the
2 or 3 I WOULD have wanted to see.

The Day-Glo Vest has been dusted down.
The route map from the Isle of Wight has been re-surveyed - SatNav? - NEVER!!
The wife has produced the 'Wychwood List' - containing Grub, Clothing, Toiletries, Capmping Accessories etc. etc. etc.
There is also a Glastonbury List, and a Larmer Tree List, AND an End of the Road List - all
very similar - but women have an eye for the minute - just as well, eh......



No, it's not the best Wychwood line-up is it......

Spring cleaning the tent, thinking about getting ear defenders for Sprog2 ... wondering about the Line Up additions in waiting ....

I'd like to see David Gray for some soft venom and then someone I can jump up and down to.

Come ON!!

No David Gray, but Roddy Womble and The Travelling Band should see you OK :-)

Roddy Woomble, Transglobal Underground, The Waterboys, The Travelling Band, Cornershop? That'll do for me :-)

REALLY laid back, great atmosphere. Good range of music and other activities. Food and bars are good too :-)
