Any tips on where's best to camp.... We arrive from the east so should normally park in the E car parks, although last year we took a wrong turn and ended up at the E car parks...

1st year there we pitched at Hitchin' Hill... what a bugger it was to climb that friggin hill with our gear, and then when we were pissed drunk at the end of the night!

2nd year at the Dairy ground... not too bad by all accounts although we did end up here due to our 2-3 mile detour...

Yes, plus one for that. Outdoor cinema was a fantastic idea. Mind you I kind of miss it's original original placement - just at the bottom of what is now the Kidz field I think - a natural amphitheatre. Never forget watching Bladerunner way back in 1993 - that close to the festival madness it was like being IN the film : )

Shame to see Wicket go family, probably cos it's so peaceful : (

Forces me to have to try Pennards or Dairy. Haven't been that way in years - is it noisy as f**k now or what?

Grrrrr! :P

They've changed my traditional camping (Williams Greenfields) spot to Crew Camping Only - Guess I'll be in Pennards again this year - or maybe try Holts (if it's dry!) - or Dragon Field (if I can get there early enough!).

A few changes there. First time I've seen a map, not been around much since the virus issue.

So forgive me if it's been mentioned but I checked SeeTickets and tickets are 'in stock and will be dispatched shortly'. Reading that and seeing the map has got me all excited, not long at all now.

Is anyone able to say or determine what specifc area the Hospitality camping will take up this year? Anyone working on site and have an offical map yet, or is anyone on here working onsite yet? (prob too early)

last year they took up the whole of the old cinema field marked "Long Ground" and a chunk of Woodies for stupid Tipis etc. On the 2009 map it was marked yellow as a sepreate colour from public camping and lumped in with crew camping on the map's key.

The way it is labelled this year is very ambiguous. It would be great to know exactly what area will be fenced off for these precious souls!!

I do recall last year their camp site being a pain in the ass and it was in the way with their ugly green protective hording thrown up all over the place! God forbid they mingle with the riff raff :P .......It made navigating around that part of the festival a nightmare.........

Here VVVV you can see the massive area those gits took up and look at all that wasted space!!! :P

They dont need all that space and it would be best if the organisers realised this and stopped marginalising proper punters! Its bad enough this year from the look of things, with massive areas of once prime punter camping now not available to Joe public. But "you can all camp in what used to be the bloody car parks" miles away from it all!

Soz..........but this shit gets my goat! :P

One would hope that if the festival changes it is for the better and whatever is implimented has been given good consideration.

I personally have an impression looking at this years map that mr & mrs average punter are being squeezed out of the middle and pushed to the sides more and more, and for what benifit I cant see. :P

Its only my opinion, but I would encourage more change in the outer reaches of the fest rather than centralising it all. That way no matter where you are camping you will be near something of note and interest.

There is now SFA camping near the "late night areas" for us, with only a sliver of Dragon left and a reduced sized Holts........ Why not have things happening in say the likes of Bushy Ground, which seems to be in the middle of nowhere in relation to things. Or increase the Entertainment around John Peel so as this is an alternative area to consider plodding about?

Instead we have seen the removal of the cinema field and the installation of a bordered up community! :P

    • It does feel like there's a push back against net zero from both left and right, but especially the right. Probably since Trump I guess, but even before Trump you had the tea party and Sarah Palin thing, but over here the right were on board with the issue of climate change and the need to address it, from Thatcher through to Johnson. That has now changed, first it was the populist right, not it is mainstream, with Badenoch making the two prerequisites for standing for the Tories being against net zero, and for leaving the ECHR. You can be an ex neo-nazi as long as you are against net zero. At least many now seem to accept the climate change is happening and it is caused by us, but they now say well it will be a nice mediterranean climate so lets bin net zero anyway and just have fun f**k all that woke green sh*t. But also the left, with various trade union leaders and blue labour types going on about net zero being bad for the economy and the need for reindustrialisation as we head back to the glory days of the 50s when we all worked down pit or something, ignoring the amount of industries and jobs created by net zero. The greens obviously are still firmly behind the net zero thing, but the party is also full of nimbys who are worried about hedgerows and hedgehogs and votes, and even the leadership have realised that there isn't votes in climate doomerism but there definitely is in bashing billionaires and Israel. I guess the main driver of net zero policies in the country is still Miliband which is probably why everyone seems to be f**king terrified of him, the mad freak and his renewables. He is out of the energy department, but his replacement is hardly a petrolhead, and he isn't in the treasury doing terrifying things like spending money, but he is in the foreign office which is maybe a good place for him because climate change is a global issue and its going to take a global effort.
