[Vieuphoria]

Girlfriend

[JaggySnake92]

Got over 40 of us going from college. No way were all camping together though!

[therefused]

im going with one other on the wednesday, but when i get there i think there will be a group of about 20.

[rexclark]

I'm going with my girlfiend who's been twice and my mate who's been six times, maybe meeting others down there.

[XrtVra]

camping with ~10 friends, going with ~35-40 people we know on a coach

Going with 3 mates. Though it's a tad complecated at the moment due to one of them having been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic (sp?). He was due to go last year but dropped out at the last minute, but the condition had only just reared it's head then. A year on and he's drinking way too much (shouldn't be drinking at all on the meds but we can't get him to stop because he says it "helps him forget his condition") a couple of examples being - on a night where no one else was drinking he promised to go easy, but ended up drinking 12 bottles of peroni in about 2 and a half hours. Another time we were round a friends house, and one he'd finished his own been he started drinking everyone else's without asking. I don't think he should be going and need to talk to his parents/girlfriend about their take on it.

Apologies for giving what was probably far too much information, but I needed to vent.

Cheers man, my main concerns (outside of the drinking) are that 1) when he gets really wasted he gets into this zombie mode where he just wants to go home and he can't fathom why anyone would want to stay out - and I'm the one who's driving. And 2) part of his condition that when he hears people talking and can't make out what they're saying, he assumes it's something nasty about him. It's bad in small crowds, imagine the tricks his mind will play while he's in his tent surrounded by people at a festival!

Oh and it's Reading, not Leeds

[PurpleFire]

Theres 4 of us! Two couples, we both have differnt music likes and i can see me and the other fella going off to see what we want too see while the girls go see something not my taste like Munford and Sons.

There's 3 of us this year, me and two mates, me 33, them 34 (the old c**ts).

First time that it hasn't just been me and the one mate since '04. Long gone are the days of 6-7, never managed to get into double figures. Festivals weren't cool back in my day

[ska_4_life]

I live in Reading, so i camp with whoever and just drift about seeing people i know. Think i shall be camping with about 20 people though... maybe more depending how close everyone arrives and if they can fit in

[Benj]

I was expecting your annual rant on why you shouldn't take women to festivals

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Going with me mate

And his gf... F*CK!

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Its my gift for the poor souls who are going with their girlfriends

[rockinthecasbah]

Think with around 6 mates or so. There's a further group of around 5 people who are friends with one or two of my group, but I'm hoping we don't end up camped with them, as I find them annoying in the extreme.

[rachbon]

i'm going with my boyfriend and our pal, same as the last 2 years.

[Dan R]

Im going with about 100 odd people

Admittedly not all together initially but most of our town migrates to Leeds fest each year and we all camp together

Always in blue and we put our massive Hambleton district up against the fence
