Kendal Calling 2012

[ramragon]

Afternoon all,

Does anyone know if there are any Aerial pics of the site?

Found one from like 2009 but are there any from recent years?

Thanks in advance

[cammie81]

Got our tickets (including the Thursday). Done a few festivals before, anything we should know specific to Kendal?

[Superscally]

The sage is a lovely venue, its immaculate inside and the sound is perfect, i would imagine Mumford and sons will be brilliant there

[Mr_Grump]

You say that, but you forget that while it's a good venue, Mumford and Sons are shit.

Just noticed Kopparberg has been added to the list of associates on the website. Be nice if they had a bar similar to that of the Aspalls cider bar last year. A bottle of this goes for £4 in the pub I work in though so can only see an increase with festival prices

its all gone a bit quiet round here, we need a new announcement to liven things up a bit !

[cammie81]

Anyone know any of the answers to the following:

Roughly how far a walk from drop-off point (if one exists) to loud camp?

How far a walk to arena from loud camp?

How flat is the ground (needed a blow up mattress for glasto but not t)?

When do the bars open (not alcoholic but sometimes good to take the edge off the night before)?

Well its my first time at kendal. My first proper festival since leeds in 2002.

Was looking for a festival that had all those little things I used to love about glasto. The random little things that you would stumble upon, and just being able to get lost in the atmosphere. Kendal seemed to have all this.

Anyone know any of the answers to the following:

Roughly how far a walk from drop-off point (if one exists) to loud camp? about 5mins as far as i remember, you're not really far from any of the points. not the glasto walk of hell thats for sure

How far a walk to arena from loud camp? again you're talking minutes rather than the half hour dairy field to shangri-la late night trawl !

How flat is the ground (needed a blow up mattress for glasto but not t)? you're sure to find some fairly flat spots around, the ground didnt seem overly hilly last year

When do the bars open (not alcoholic but sometimes good to take the edge off the night before)? im sure some of the bars opened with the arena at around 10.30ish, could be wrong though

[cammie81]

Thanks for that Ramragon, now to find a way to freeze myself for 12 weeks.

10 minutes tops

Can get a bit slopey towards the back but the grass is quite long so quite soft. Still worth having a blow up mind

When do the bars open (not alcoholic but sometimes good to take the edge off the night before)? im sure some of the bars opened with the arena at around 10.30ish, could be wrong though

[cammie81]

Reckon drink your own stash until the arena opens...cheaper! Dont think any of the other bars was open before the arena.
