Yes...Excited.

Originally had tomorrow off work, but had to cancel that. Anyways... Aiming to arrive around 4-5pm from Christchurch. Coming up through Three legged Cross, past Horton Inn, so hope to avoid the Steam traffic. Only festival this year, last weekend before my eldest goes to University, so really looking forward to it.

My 1st time at EOTR and definitely not my last. My lads went early on thursday and set up camp, and i joined them on friday lunchtime (thanks to Chris who was pitched next door for the loan of the cooker when our gas got temperamental). A great weekend vibe which started with an evening at the Bella Union bash (John Grant, Midlake, Low anthem all superb), interspersed with some great comedy from Patrick Monahan and Tony law (who was excellent). Saturday... Pucket! Couldn't seem to walk past without being dragged in for a game of pucket. The bands were excellent again, especially the impressive Alt-J in the tent, Deep Dark Woods, Alabama Shakes and the mighty Grizzly Bear. Sunday started slowly, with a bit of drizzle and the tents packed for a quick getaway after Grandaddy. Brekky at the big red bus, then a day of treats. Meeting Alabama Shakes in the field, and Jason Lytle at the back of the Garden stage ( why do your powers of speech desert you when you meet an all time hero..) a great set by Graham Coxon, Sublime Justin Townes Earle, and an excellent Patti Smith. AND the mighty Grandaddy, who were excellent. I had waited 9 years for this, having last seen them at Pompey in 2003 and they didn't dissappoint. Simply beautiful.
Anyway, mighty big thanks to everyone concerned for a great weekend.

Sweet sentiments...
Only asking cos if its a big ask to get out of the car park i will look to get up some other way (Bus/ Bike/ Windsurf/ Segway...).

...And looking forward to it. Coming with my two kids, 16 and 18. Expecting something a little different from the IOW fest, which was a muddy mess saved only by the quality of the headliners. Looking forward to Grandaddy, who i never thought i would see again, John Grant, Midlake, Beach House, Alt J, Anna Calvi and some new bands.
One question. My sons are driving up on thursday and camping overnight, and we were planning on my eldest leaving the car park on friday lunchtime and coming to Christchurch to pick me up and return to the site for the rest of the weekend. Any flaws in this plan based on previous years? Is it reasonable to be able to exit and re-enter the car park area? Thanks for any help.

can anyone help please?
I want to take my eleven year old son with me to Boardmasters this year ( I havent been before) and am wondering why you cant buy tickets for kids. do they get in free? Is it a child friendly place? he's BMXing mad and we want to go on the Saturday. Do the sports run everyday or on specific days?
Thanks!!!!!
