I'm pretty sure all of those on Pennards will be them. So do camplight actually put the tents up for you in the field you want? This could be a much better solution than hiking in early trying to get a good spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking on my phone when I first mentioned them, as I only saw the big block of tents, not the others scattered about (e.g. Oxylers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Near JP It looks a bit far up, but I it may possibly be the tarp style cover thingy for the bar in the Woods area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just in Pennards but it is where a lot of people consider prime real estate.

waterfalls212434 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 yeah pennards and oxylers pretty much sound like my ideal of hell, packed in like sardines, no breathing room, least chilled out place in the fest....no thanks, dont get the appeal at all.

Yeah I understand that. We are aiming for Pennards again this year but wouldn't surprise me if, as a group, we opt for somewhere less hectic after the fallow year. Did consider Camplight for convenience this year but I'm training for a 5 day trek in September (not a very me thing to do) so I'm in better shape than I normally am and the struggle will be good training at the very least! It seems reasonable value and would mean that making a crazy early start on Weds to get a decent spot would be unnecessary. I still might do it in the future, then leave when we wake up just to get that last full night of sleep but still be in with plenty of time for the evening.

The appeal is the location. Tents become somewhere to crash and that's about it. I don't want to chill at my tent, but even though it's busy, I've always found it a pretty relaxed vibe. Out of curiosity, where do you prefer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur, it gets packed but still able to sit in a circle and have the first beer of the day then it's location is suitable for a shorter walk on the way back from most late night venues.

mjsell Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Did we ever figure out why they have moved the fence further up the field at the park and to the right? That area is surely too steep to camp on? 1 hour ago, watsonjm said: lol sorry the one that's on the pyramid field? Starting behind the sound desk and heading towards the back of the field Its just so the cranes/trucks that are putting up the screens/speakers/sound desks dont damage the ground.
