a few questions . .

We are traveling from Liverpool by train to derby then getting a taxi from there to the festival, we wont be getting there until about 7pmish +, we'll need a bigish spot as we have a family tent (taking two young children)

Is there going to be horrendous ques at that time on the Friday (and is my taxi bill going to be huge) :s

and is there even going to be space for our tent?

hmm...with that and the weather forecast i have really cold feet/stressed out.*

*first ever festival were taking our children/never been to bearded before/we'll be carrying all our stuff by hand...gah!

Aw don't be stressed hon :girlwah: Hopefully you're worrying unnecesarily and all will work out just fine for you. Just think of that moment when you've set up camp, you're all settled and you get your first cider out .........*and relax!*........

Despite my best efforts not to be bothered, I'm becoming a bit obsessed with the weather! Have just checked 3 sites - bbc and metcheck don't look too bad reporting cloudy with just the odd spot of rain here and there but the weather channel (who I usually go by) state rain, rain and more rain :( PLEASE be wrong weather channel......

Just making sure that everyone who's planning to camp with the loosely efests-based camp knows that we'll be on the other side of the row of trees running from the lake across the campsite. Where were were last year is on the doorstep of the dance tent this year. So we'll be on the opposite side of the trees this year.

See you all very, very soon :girlhaha:

Ooooooh.... metcheck may be my new favourite!!

*Packs sunglasses*

erm ... you might want to calm down a little. I just followed that link just to see what the weather might be, and the forecast it gave wasn't for this weekend but next weekend (not sure if that's what it gave you tho). Strangely, I couldn't get metcheck to give me a forecast for this weekend.

/me tootles off the another weather site for a forecast.....

it makes me laugh - a lot - how festival goers hunt around the various weather sites to find the best one they can, and then that's the one they post.

It's almost like they want to believe that by picking the best one they're controlling the weather. :lol:

It's a shit if the weather is bad, but there's sod all anyone can do about it. :(

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
