.. I think I remember something saying that the full line up would be announced at the end of Feb - or did I just dream that?....

 We had a four man Large tent a three man popup tent and kitchen area all in the space, with no negative comments from marshals. One group near us had a brilliant scheme, they used the Park and Camp purely for Parking and camped as a very large group by a gap and the other side of the fence in public camping. They then had a large group camping together and presumably someone in the group needed their car and there it was about 15 meters away... Brilliant 

Very reassuring, I think I worry too much  - and what a good idea for parking closeby

 I have printed off the description of Park and Camp this year so we can prove what was advertised and what we've paid for.  I hope you get pitched as you want to, P.D.

 

I am wearing my glasses now. I have done this too SS, thanks for the tip.

I only dubbed it the naughty end because the pitching seemed a bit willy nilly down there

 

I mistook your comments thinking SS had said that. Doh, should wear my glasses when reading and replying to posts! Sorry SS but it will forever be known as the 'Naughty End'.

If you walked up Smith Street  from Red Gate towards the Arena, we were on the strip which goes off to the right at the Park and Camp loos. 

Thanks, yes that's where I'm hoping to be with my daughter and grandson. I usually camp in Suffolk Avenue but I don't drive so we'll be in one car. I normally travel with a friend but he's not sure if he's coming this year so I've ditched the main site for park and camp because I have rotten arthritis in my back and knees and can't pull the hired trolley easily now.

Yes Jax, I forgot to mention the diagram, bloomin marvellous!

[PARK AND CAMP QUESTION]

Thanks for the advice folks, sorry that the link doesn't work Jax.  I think I'll take my smaller tent as it's a Quecha, the same make and colour as my daughters. Hopefully it'll blend in and they won't take too much notice. It doesn't say only 1 tent per pitch anywhere so as long as it fits in the 8m x 8m it shouldn't matter.

Out of interest, where was the 'naughty end' SS? My daughter was in Meadow Park & Camp and the pitches weren't marked at all there when she arrived. One of the stewards told her she had to move her car once she'd set up but she ignored him.  Maybe they'll have better marked pitches this year - or maybe I'll have to move to main campsite. Oh well, who cares, I'll be there and that's all that matters.

 

[PARK AND CAMP QUESTION]

For those of you who have parked and camped at Womad CP are they strict as to what tent space is occupied? The website stipulates 8m x 8m per tent + a car parking space, which is pretty big. I'm travelling with my daughter and grandson but don't want to share their tent, even though it's quite large.  I've got one of these, plus an awning and I didn't really want to take my smaller tent as it's harder to erect.

If they're going to drop because of it I suspect that will impact more on 2017 than 2016

 

I agree, some folks I know who'd already bought tickets when the announcement was made aren't happy. I wish them luck too, it doesn't really bother me but I think they should have  mentioned the new policy before.
