Tunnel

[LusciousLucy]

Hmm...here's me considering not going next year in a major way...but the idea of setting up a Tunnel Party is very very tempting! Storm and me also used it as a very convenient f**k the queue above our heads trudging sheep like in an Easterly direction and skidaddle over to Trash via the tunnel, down the path opposite the GreenPeace field, cross over the back of the Jazz and Circus fields and voila...

knowing all the shortcuts at the G certainly makes for a. the festy feeling VERY small these days b. now no longer takes more than 20 mins to get anywhere c. when you are amongst friends who know the shortcuts, it makes for interesting listening...left at the wooden mushrooms, go past the dreamcatcher stall, take another left at the maze, down the hill and then right but OVER the train tracks to get into the back of wherever...and so on

That's tunnel vision for you

We got invited to join a tunnel party as well at one point when walking through, it would have been a great idea if we weren't striding purposefully through on the way to do something (haven't a clue what it was now...). Definitely tunnel party next year!

Tunnel underneath the railway?! I've been to the festival eight times now and I'd never realised there was a tunnel! I do remember there being a pretty tunnel of lights into Avalon one year but having seen the pictures in this thread, I realised you're talking about a proper one!

How many solar powered fairy lights are we bringing to this party to hang in the tunnel then??? Its going to look soooo puuuuuurty!

And I think a phat order of holospecs will be needed yes???

What are we going to use to play chooooons?

Forgotten all about the tunnel. Discovered it in 95 by accident, but haven't come across it in my 3 visits since

Tunnel!

I actively went and found it this year having only stumbled over while completely out of it previously.

I found the tunnel this year along with a load of the other permanent fixtures, I really enjoyed wandering off and exploring. Used the tunnel a lot after that while avoiding the railway late at night!

I have just realised that I walked through the tunnel and thought little of it, how very strange!

Yes indeed, they were missing this year - obviously it shouldn't just be you making the effort, & I have every intention of putting in what I want to get out of 2010.

I don't really get the attraction. I've slipped into the old dirty tunnel a few times, but it's not really excited me that much. I suppose it's down to what each individual enjoys - I mean I wouldn't stop anyone doing it, and if the lady I was with really wanted to do it and it wasn't out of the way, then sure, but I certainly wouldn't start bragging about it in a thread on the Internet.

[Gingerbond]

I didn't even know it was there...will have to check it out next year!

[Storm_NL]

We could put some poles up at either end, and have curtains.....

Even better, some of that red velvety rope, and have a VIP guest list... who knows whom it might attract?

[timespeedsup]

Yay! Fairy lights & pink fluffy umberella for you too!!

[LusciousLucy]

Curtains! Make it our own little bit of Shangri-La, that's nowhere near Shangri-La, for a few hours one night. Drinks on entry, bearded ladies, knobly knees, voodoo ray etc

[greenfairy43]

Oh FFS, have I just demeaned myself?!?

And then you come out with this.......

If it wasnt such a faff getting things on site we could even run a cocktail bar maybe?

[timespeedsup]

This is the sort of party I am talking about!!! Holospecs DEFFO needed!

The Thursday night maybe??? Seeing as SL and TC were shut...but then we COULD get crowds...hmm...decisions eh?

<br />I'll have a wheelbarrow again, &amp; that sounds like just the sort of thing I could do to help me leave 2010 feeling that I too made the effort. <img src="style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Interesting thing the crowds issue - want some else it's flat, but not necessarily loads. Could be any night after midnight IMO, or anytime after dark Thursday. <br /><br />Aly, I'm just making the effort of making myself make the effort. How are we all going to spike Alchemy?!?<br /><br />
