Bearded Theory 2012

[AnnaGrant]

That's not negative - that's positive!

[Perks]

Especially if you live only 1 junction up the motorway away from BT. I'm really looking forward to only having a 45minute drive, instead of the 4 hours or so to Glastonbury.

[airds]

I'm giving this some serious thought but can't really afford it. Can someone please post something negative about the festival to put me off?

[beergut100]

It was cold on friday night last year....will that do

But it is a great festival, and remember there is no arena so if your short of money you can always take your own beer

[rabid]

Not if you live in Cornwall or on the Isle of Skye !

[AnnaGrant]

Me too, will be nice only having a 50min to an hour drive instead of the 4hr trek...You been to Bearded before Anna?

How far is the car park to the camping site and also can you get a car parking ticket on the day? questions questions from the Bearded Virgin!!

Travelling aside, there are no real downs - as long as you pack woolies, wellies and an extra sleeping bag/blanket.

or camp near BoilerMan....

or have a campervan with heating in it....

[AnnaGrant]

Woolly hats help you to keep warm in the night. When I used to camp out when I was little my Mum always insisted on me wearing a hat to sleep in. And it was pretty effective, if I remember correctly (it was quite a long time ago).

[timespeedsup]

Always wear a hat at night when camping, even at Glasto. But then I have no great noggin hair and I feel the cold at the best of times.

Probably ought to wear two hats at Bearded mind you, what with the frosts....

[rabid]

Yes, it is my first BT, and my first small festival. You'll see from my sig that I've only done Glastonbury, apart from one diversion to Womad.

Ten mins walk from the car park sounds v heavenly, as I don't travel light and I have a creaky back.

The lineup is also very appealing to my musical tastes, better than most if not all of the larger festival offerings. Also hoping to avoid the 'there to be seen' teenagers who were v obvious at G. makes me sound like Mrs Brady Old Lady.

looking forward to meeting efestivallers too.

[AnnaGrant]

You will love it!

(PS Get your Alchemy tickets while they're still only £50, you'll love that too)

[PastCaring]

Mr PC once put boxer shorts on his head during a particularly cold night camping abroad - and then forgot what he'd done and went to the local shop stilling wearing them - he he

[outtolunch]

Alchemy is on my radar, but not sure how popular I would be at home if I were to ask for another weekend's child sitting cover. alchemy looks similar to BT both in spirit, music and location to home. Let's see how BT goes.

You bring the hot water bottle i`ll supply the hot water....!

So it's that time of year again, coming out of winter hibenation- big stretccchhhh! and looking forward to BT.

Is the E-fest camp going to be in the same place this year?

What time can we expect the flag to be flying Rabid?

As I'm travelling from Cornwall and staying at a travelodge in Derby Thursday night I expect to be there pretty early.

See ya soon.

[THEBOILERMAN]

Cosy

[AnnaGrant]

Would it be an idea closer to the time to PM mobile numbers to each other so we can find the efest camp? Maybe you do this anyway?
