Last year I camped in either Wicket Ground or Lime Kiln (I'm not sure which one it was). The reason for that was because it was close to the pedestrian gate and I couldn't face walking any further with my heavy gear! I quite liked it..there was a good mix of ages and it had its own cafe. I'll probably camp there again this year.

Nice looking fields I always think. Wouldnt camp there myself though.

Hitchin was our home 2003 - 2007, then Park Home in 2008 and the one next to the Glade last year, the little one between Glade and Jazz.

The beauty of Hitchin is that it is a bit more peaceful, and a bit more out the way, you get a bit more room too, if you head up to the top of the hill, and a cracking view of the festival to wake up to every day, and minimal tent-trampling/bit flatter ground/less muddy up the top.

The downside is that evil b*starding hill up to it at the end of the night! Though that is good for muddy years, as you get a lot of the cack off your boots on the hike up it.

I'd say that if you're coming in to gate A, then Hitchin Hill is perfect for the less hectic nights, not too far to walk with all your kit either! If you're coming in gate D, then Park Home is a good choice, quite liked it there too in 2008, apart from the robberies.
