The Return of the Triangle

[angelheaded hipster]

Much thanks to everyone at CT - it was lovely to be surrounded by you all for the fest

Hope everyone got back ok and a hug to anyone I missed saying "bye" to!

Was going to come up to meet you guys but to be honest I didn't have the bottle.

Really regret it now though, I swear I saw Alcatraz on sunday night inbetween Nick Cave and blur at family camping toilets though? Or maybe it was just me seeing things.

[Nyika]

That were fun that were!

It was excellent!

A really friendly group of people. Loved the pick-up-glow-sticks.

Beat you Nina

We were further above the lockup, you'd have seen if it you kept walking up towards the park

Mikey's cow flag was really the beacon. Had flashing fairy lights in the evening going up the pole

[chuckley]

it took me a while to find the camp too. eventually found the flag after a walkabout. did you ask the stewards by the big map in pennards too?

hope you had a good festi though and got back into the spirit after the first day

[nominaomi]

I have discovered I paid WAAAAAY too little attention at the cider bus meet and now cant place peoples actual names with their screen names... AHHH nooooooo!

Pineapple tea - did you have a good birthday? Hehe!!

[johntrfc]

yea thats the one i went to but she sent me down the path towards other stage. so blate in the wrong direction so it seems!!!!! no1 has heard of the camp tho. i find this odd!!!!! for such a regular thing the stewards should know?! flags should have efests on or ??

failing that people need to give PRECISE directions to the camp. pennards is big... if i knew it was by the park side, i woulda found it after a while.

nah my camp was awful. people didnt wanna socialise. full of groups that only had time for each other. so yea was alone for practically the whole fest. had a good time seein what i wanted but really wanted to mix with people.

another reason for the tears. i knew i was defo on my own then.

Big love to the triangle! I don't know how brief I can make this....

I had an absolutely fantastic time, the best Glasto since my very first.... and it's all thanks to the triangle. All my bestest bestest moments were in the company of trianglers. Daft games back at camp (I did keep insisting I wasn't in the lead at pick up glowsticks!); being circled by crazy dancers at the bandstand (probably my best memory ); general great company; nonsense chit chat; and learning facts too (did you know the optimum temperature for hot water to make coffee is 86 degrees?!); traipsing around; oh yes, and seeing acts too and singing along! Brilliant.

I left early, so an absence of goodbyes.... But I had already been dreading the goodbyes - I hate saying bye. During Madness I looked around and wondered how on earth I'd be able to say goodbye to people for a year...

Anyways, so bye byes now - thank you thank you thank you. I was very fortunate to be surrounded by such lovely people.

So sorry to hear that people couldn't find us - next year, please print the number swap and call us and we'll come and find and fetch you.

Hey there peeps...as unofficial bod who seemed to be lumped with getting this sorted on the day...thank you to all who found us and apologies to those who didnt.

The 'core' as it were for setting up the camp arrived at about 10.30am which was not foreseen.

Flag went up late...4pm late!...sorry folks but it WAS up, eventually. Ok...it wasnt immense and yes Mikey's flag was a better beacon. The nature of Pennards is to get full bloody quickly but also...the camp was always in the lowest section of the field...folks who headed up the hill were most deffo in the wrong place, the maps and the aerial photos provided since last October all clearly show where the camp was going to be in general. The camp was only 50 metres over from where it was last year, and in fact a better spot as we were nearer to the path near Park Home which made for very easy access in and out to anywhere.

Please remember that this camp is unofficial and therefore nothing can guarantee anything and it really was a case of first come first served and first to arrive got a spot! Even those of us living there found it a bit hard to find the camp at times!

Realised too late that the camp stewards should have been informed and despite NOT being part of the Triangle organising committee, it was left to yours truly to answer all the CT reception calls which kinda pissed me off...not the getting calls from you lot trying to find us but the attitude from the people whose idea this all was in the first place not really giving a damn!

Pennards filled up in ridiculous time, as mentioned, we lost our firespot (thanks though to those who did try and get wood but a big spanked botty to the rest of you who sat doing nothing for over 2hours when you could have been on wood runs and therefore have HAD a fire circle to speak of!) The tipi was an utter godsend though especially with the wettenings.

Next year...just watch and wait and hopefully something may get sorted so that we can definitly get as many folks together in one spot. And the flag will be much bigger!

Thanks Lucy, I really appreciate all you did. Your flag which you helpfully displayed on the CT forum was so distinctively efesters that I found the site immediately this year (especially effective considering I arrived during the meet when the camp was deserted!), and your flag continued to be my marker during daylight hours.

I omitted to say a big thank you to the teepee and gazeebo providers - an absolute god send, so thank you. :angry:

had a great time at , particly the first(?at least i think it was the first night) and last night :angry:

thanks to everyone who made me giggle sooo much !

[Staberinde]

Another stonkin' fan bloody tastic Glastonbury made all that much more better by the camaraderie of all the trianglers.

No matter what time, day or night, it was great walking back to camp and being welcomed by a group sitting around reminiscing the day, or planing the next. I loved the way everyone shared shots of drink or offered beers. Not to mention Jammy Dodgers !!!

A big thanks to every one that helped set it up and joined in looking after it.

See you all again next year

[Rachie]

It was awesome!

[angelofharlem]

I met several people from at the cider bus meet and had a great time. Sorry for not replying to any texts I may have had but I ruined my phone the next day (I know now that phones do not like sun cream and whisky!) Had a brilliant festival though and look forward to seeing the people again next year.

[Superfly1967]

Cheers! Great fun with all you lot, can't begin to mention you all by name - you know who you are!

[LusciousLucy]

Triangle??? What Triangle??? Lord Triangle was last seen taking a dive headfirst into the Longdrops never to be seen again!

Tis 1st Pilton Scout Jamboree next year! Pack your woggles folks!

And fellow Triangles and even those who couldnt find us...COULD you possibly find us if a large cottage/house somewhere in Midlands gets hired for the weekend in October, the one after T Day maybe???

Early early thoughts but was discussed on Sunday night during the wettening and some folk would like to see a party weekend finally get off the ground after 2 years of discussion!

[Kowalski]

Great to meet some of you guys.

The meets on Wednesday and Thursday were brilliant fun.
