I must have been really unlucky who I went in after then! I thought they really smelled awful in a tiny confined space. Happy with the composts and the breeze!

I don’t know if relevant to you but I wouldn’t choose sticklinch if you coming by coach or being dropped off. There was no shuttle bus and I bet the walk was super tedious from gate A.

Khruangbin had Leon Bridges on for two songs

Have stayed in WV many times and Sticklinch this year. I see the infamous steps have gone from WV this year but it’s still a big ass hill! On balance for me I Would go with sticklinch again. Both are a long walk and WV leads you nicely through the greenfields rather than a boring walk through tents but the lack of hill wins it for me. The other/railway line was only 15 min away walk. Real shame there’s no bottom entrance to the Park. Sticklinch is smaller and the queue for the showers seemed much much less. Not impressed with the new loos and the scarce squirty taps but they were probably the same in both. Compost loos made up for it (a bit). Very lucky having both car and bell tent near the entrances.

Agree that he was superb but the crowd seemed disinterested which is a shame

I thought so at first but it was confirmed that the owner of Sticklinch farm had lost a cow to a foil packet

It’s only folded cardboard, no worse than a paper cup (also coated?) and there are plenty of them! You can also get reusable ones but they’re cumbersome at a festival

I agree! They were well used as well. Perhaps because of all the disposable cardboard but it’s not the worst thing to throw away. Squatting frankly involves more undressing/balancing.

Agree mine is 10cm - self inflates in about 15 mins (zero blowing up) and is a dream to sleep on! We use it as a spare bed at home a lot (with the decathlon base)

The Moth cocktails! Amazing. Also berocca boost (with caffeine/guarana not the cheap stuff) is a lifesaver! Stick one in your first bottle of water #newwoman

It’s worth every penny! Treat yourself to a decent SIM as well

It did! Discussed this with the hook a duck attendant. We still have a fishfinger in a bag that my son won in Dismaland

Perhaps it was Annie Mae…

Lovely!

The ammonia makes my eyes water! They did seem better than usual for a dry year. Sheepee all the way

Bring back the wateraid female urinals! The new squats in the stone circle had a longer queue than the composts

Second time using a decathlon air bed, absolute game changer. 10 cm SIM on top.

Agreed. Definitely don’t hover! This contributes to them being so disgusting.

The “women” bit relates to the second sentence! Third good for everyone. A peg would also work

Haha! Didn’t see crowded house - one for the iPlayer

Yes it was a sort of bao bun crossed with a potato cake? Worked well with extra sweet potato fries

Best : Persian (peacock?) veggie curry in the park Holy Cow burger and dirty fries (park) Venezuelan pulled beef buns and sweet potato fries in West Holts Duck and chips in west holts Hawaiian poke with salmon sashimi in WG cracking nuts ice cream in WG worst: yorky (rock hard!) annie Mac (I like my Mac and cheese to stand up on it’s own - too runny)

This was lovely! I may now always eat caramel ice cream with caramelised cashews as my dessert of choice!

Metronomy were great, Glass Animals a little disappointing

I will never forgive them for massacring one of my favourite songs (Don’t Go) without even changing the lyrics (as far as I could tell)
