Site Map

[neato]

I got this year's site map in the access pack and I couldn't find it anywhere else, so in case you're interested here it is:

I still can't work out where accessible camping is, but I'm excited anyway!

I would guess accessible camping will be in the purple area or next to it, there's a big flag saying that's the accessible enterance and it was roughly the same area last yr.

[Marc Whiffen]

Where is the family camping? Is it that one in the top corner?

[ramragon]

I reckon family will be the orange bit and quiet will be the green bit in th far corner, similar to where they were last year

[Marc Whiffen]

My Mrs is worried it will be full by the time we get there around 10am Friday, this won't be the case will it? She seems to think everybody is going on Thursday and only us on Friday.

[ramragon]

To be honest, last year it was half empty even on Sunday morning, it was as if people couldn't be bothered to go that way and just went in general camping instead. even if it is full which I seriously doubt then quiet camping is attached to the field and there's bound to be space in there. I don't think anyone would moan if the family field was full and you wanted to pitch in there rather than general.

I hope the sailor jerrys bar is gonna be there again this year and not been replaced with the jäger stage.

Jäger is disgusting!

[duds]

I don't think they are :-( loved sailor jerrys I did notice that one of kc sponsors is monkey shoulder, wondering if they will be there doing cocktails instead ??

[ramragon]

The monkey shoulder truck was good last year, must have done a fair amount of business wandering round

Great work, thanks Neato.

Does your pack say what the camping colour codes mean ?

I thought it might be the purple area but the pack seemed to suggest that the area was closer to the village green than the arena? It did say its only 350m away from the arena though, so maybe?

Great work, thanks Neato.

Unfortunately not, there didn't seem to be a key.

I don't have a scooby but my guess would be:

Dark Blue (on the right) - Emperors

Red - General

Orange - Family

Green - Quiet

Purple - Accessible

Yellow - Deer Lodge

Light Blue - Wolf Woods

Turquoise - Club Class

Hi everyone

I have noticed that there is no parking area for the emperor's fields. Does anyone know where it will be?

Thanks

I'm intrigued by "The Shire - a fresh new relaxed area to the north of the site" what's that all about?

The map is very rough. The blue field on the right is the Emperors field and the car park is the other side of the road to the right, so only a 5 minute walk.

[ourannie]

Thanks Emandjay :-) see you all on Friday yayyyyyyy!

Where is the best place to camp then ?

[ramragon]

Er..... depends

If you've got an emperors pass then in the emperors field.

If you don't and you don't have a camper van then it'll be the general camping areas. If you've got a family head for the family field, if you like it quieter then head for the quiet field.

General camping will get a bit louder àn rowdier the closer you get to the arena, so if you want to avoid any madness camp closer to the outskirts of the field

Had 1st wander round site tonight - doesn't seem to much different to last year. Seems further on than last year and ground v. Good!

Orange it is then for me. If anyone sees a fella struggling with a tent erection while sipping on a can of cider while 2 boys chip a football at his head then please come and say hello.

[Marc Whiffen]

Hahaha, Orange me too, pretty sure I will be in the same situation, my wife will be shouting, "Why don't you put that can down, you will have 2 hands then." My little lad will be trying to get in it while it is half up.

Good man. Will do. I better bring some extra coins. By the time I buy you a beer and clear my prediction bets I`ll have nothing left ! Fortunately the kids seem to have more money than me.

[ramragon]

Aye we'll Lochlands not going to this one so they won't be able to flog the sweets he brought em for extra cash !

I owe you beers from last weekend anyway so don't stress it !

[Marc Whiffen]

Light blue is family camping. They posted a new map on Twitter with all campsites named.

[thurlow84]

Noticed there wasnt a feld for accessable camping on the new map ......just a flag with it on in the middle of a path
