Saw Dry Cleaning in Cambridge on Thursday.. I was concerned (particularly after reading a review on here) that the vocals would be drowned out by the guitar and for the first couple of numbers we appeared to have the worst of both worlds (vocals none to clear and guitar toned down...) But they grew into it, got the energy up and really seemed to enjoy themselves.. It was really short, barely an hour with zero chat between numbers. I really like their sound and they are worth a watch but i do wonder about longevity with the same schtick... will be interested to hear the next album..

on Sunday both of my daughters got through to add reg nos but could only buy water bottles and cancellation insurance.... Damn well wish i had said "buy the water bottle...."

taxi

agree with this.... but its no exact science right..? Its punters at Glastonbury.... I wouldnt get too wrapped up in where you end up parking tbh... Granted being in E23 (as i was in 2019) was better than being in E17 (2017) but it only saved me 10/15 minutes walking time.... In the general scheme of the weekend it aint much! The only way i personally would consider the kerfuffle of arriving on site on Tuesday, finding a way to get back offsite, buggering off home, coming back in on Friday and then having to get to where you left my van... would be if i was guaranteed a spot in E21 overlooking the festival !

This fantastic overlay was posted the other day, which handily numbered all the CV & parking fields... and shows how full it gets.. But also shows how E25 has been used as a late comer field... which isnt the worst place to end up Leaving Sunday night should be fairly easy.. I did it one year (after the headliner) and was on the mainroad within about 15-20 mins... However, i then had a 5 hours drive home and it was hideously tiring... We have mostly got up at sparrows fart on Monday and tried to be moving by 7am... that is also a quick exit.. Leave it until 9-10am and you will be hours to get offsite

What tickets do you have... Quiet or Normal..?? Looking at the map - You enter via E13. Quiet is to the left of the road (E19,20,21,23,24 & (possibly E25) Normal is on the right of the road.. They normally fill from E18 (taking traffic thru 14,15&16 into 18... and then fill around the woods.. So, 18,17,16,15&14... E25 is usually for rented / pre-delivered vans and overflow/latecomers E21 is the Hill of Death (you are NOT getting in there... unless you are in accessibility) E20 I have never been in there (despite turning up at 1pm Tuesday)

you should have locked it behind you then,,,

🤣 I have only ever been a CV East dweller and as already said if you are able to use theirs after they have been cleaned first thing they are absolutely ideal... Granted they appear NOT to be cleaned on Monday morning and so are a right state (with everyone heading back to cars) If I have a need on-site (Fri-Sun).. then i head to the compost numbers at the bottom of the Sacred Space. Perfectly clean and tranquil

i love the advice given on this forum.... Spirit of the festival

no flipping Cambridge show this tour...

Very nice

If i had a ticket, id be heading to Bushy Ground for my breakfast.....

How do you keep the beans on it when it is upright like that.?

hold on, i need to write down those toast recipes...

As a CV East regular i can vouch for the bakers by the kids field... Being an early riser i have often walked down the hill to get fresh bread and rolls (for bacon butties).. they do lots of cakes but are not as good as Lynda's Loaf over in the Greenpeace Field.. Very nice with a cup of tea when i have had a dry Sunday.. Agree on the brioche rolls (or the bags of mini pain au chocolat) and a plastic jar of peanut butter is good for an energy boost.. I always find that a small can of the fruity cider (breakfast beer) works for the walk from caravan to Gate C...

its remarkable isnt it....?? Whilst i had declared myself a non entry in the resale race... This sort of thing is calling me back.. This and my daughter saying "You can do it it Dad...! You know you want to.!"

you snooze, you lose... 😉 I was on the train on the way home from the footie and noticed the sun going down and thought... 'I wonder what the farm looks like?'

Welcome. Get organised. Get help. Get lucky. (Get me one if you are really lucky..!)

Doh! I even provided a handy map to prove myself wrong...! good knowledge though... i have always (10 festivals in CV East) wondered how you got in E20.. (correction Mrs BlueDaze has reminded me that we did get on the last row of E20 (over the hedge from E23) on one occasion..) Marvellous to have E21 as your home for the festival, i cant think there is a better spot on site. Have a great festival!

I am pretty sure E20 (on the actual hill) and E21 (first field at the top) are NOT just for general use... Closest i have ever been is first row of E23 or E19.. and i get there on Tuesday.

I will be going round my Mums on the 27th in distraction

Lock ups are your friend...

That was no clash…. It was a no brainer

yeah, i change my vote.... dont camp near the turdy hedge
