I'm hoping these Spiders don't ruin my V experience where do I go to get as far away from them as possible?

I stayed in orange last year didn't see 1 spider!

[pehaw]

I was in Orange and there was the odd very small spider in my tent.

Some mates were in Green. They said it wasn't too bad..














On the saturday morning, one of the lads (Paul) woke up to find he had a few visitors in his tent





So he gathered them up and put them on the barbie. He made a killing selling them for £2.50 a scoop. Half the price of most of the stalls and a lot more nutritious too.

Eugh, I'm a right big girl when it comes to spiders... a fact which I was all to hasty to inform my housemate of!!

eeeeew! spiders! NO! Did you know "You eat on average 10 spiders in yr sleep through out yr life" (from a documentry I once saw). We must be increasing that figure when we go to V, if theres really that many!!!

most of them must be when your a kid... ive pulled 2 spiders out of my daughters mouth and shes only 10 months old... how the f**k does she find and catch them???????

[indie-rocknroll]

The spiders are tiny tiny little things (like money spiders), they live there all year round peacefully and then all of a sudden 80 thousand people set up camp on top of them.  I have a tent with an inner tent, they all set up shop in the top of my tent but went no where near the inner tent where I slept so no problem, I camped on Gold and they were there, so it is not just blue, just kleep the tent doors shut (you can buy littlke tiny mite camping candles that keep away any insects by letting off the smell of lavender, they are in tins but bloody dont forget that you have one burning)

The review also says about Gold being quiet, you dont have people running round screaming or puking on your tent all night but Gold for me last year was far from quiet.

It makes me chuckle how no one seems to have any problems with them in red. It must be that dirty even the spiders dont wanna sleep there!

Sounds fun, I remember going in the toilets in red on the way back to blue - was one of the worse but it does look a packed site
Spiders really don't remember seeing them at all and I was in Blue

I think you have to remember that you are outdoors and there is a good chance you may encounter some creepy crawlies.

[indie-rocknroll]

Earwigs you have to watch out for when you are camping, now they do cause problems trying to get up your nose

[xploit]

Just out of interest, anyone know how crowded or what the facilities are like in the disabled area?

I'm accompanying a student I look after who is registered disabled (although is actually very able) so we have his ticket and a free carer ticket plus a ticket for another member of staff - we were wondering if we should go for a main camping area and see how well he joins in with the banter etc etc - or will it be better to use disabled area due to the better conditions (?) there?

Cheers

Great idea and has given me a good idea of where i might set up camp this year.

Last year I stayed on Red... never again!
Dont get me wrong I like to party like everyone else, but to the point where I had NO sleep and I could hear a couple in the next tent getting up to no good and people screaming "POLICE SOMEONES ROBBED OUR TENT" This was continuous throughout the night and I literally had about half an hour sleep and gave up in the end.

SO BUSY AND SO CRAMMED AND SO DISGUSTING!!!

I think its more for the idiotic party people to be honest! (No offence to the idiotic party people... just not my scene)

Where is everyone here thinking of camping this year then?

HIPPY xx

[xxtinkerbellxx]

Yeah i had more or less the same experience in red, and like you said....never again!!! I really enjoyed blue last year so may end up there this year again or give green a try?
