Hydrostatic Head means the amount of water held directly above the tent fabric in a tube before it start to leak - the higher the number the more waterproof the tent - entry level these days is 2000, anything above is a bonus.

Yup, Thursday again for me....will look to get on site between 1pm & 2pm....an hour to set up with a few beers, a few more beers, an afternoon siesta and then bbq and walk into the village green for the evening (with a few more beers!!).

Does anyone know what would be the latest time you can get in on the Thursday we will be driving up from Swindon after work and might not arrive until about 9ish

[ramragon]

I'm seeing Spiritialized at the Sage later this year. Great venue!

[ramragon]

Will be the same for me Mick! Set up our camp, get some beers down, have a wander then back to camp for more drink then back down for a late evening

jacko, after hearing all your news about never having decent weather at a festival do you not fancy heading down on friday and giving me and the rest of lads and lasses a chance to get set up in the sun before you arrive !

i've pretty much got the same plan as the rest of you, aiming to be there around 1pm, get set up and chill out a bit with a few beers before a bbq and heading in to the green for a drink or 2

checked the site about times and theres nothing stated on there, i know last year they had a policy of opening times for arrival, i cant imagine 9pm being too late to get in though

Thursday was really relaxing last year, the flow of people in to the site was slow and the fields were still fairly empty by the night time, can't imagine there were many more than 100 tents in the emperors on Thursday last year, general camping was a bit fuller but still not packed.

We're planning to pace ourselves on Thursday this year........ Mwahahahahaha

[LOCHLAND5]

I have no idea whatsoever what that means...but I assume its not great! Don't matter anyway...if it pisses down we're getting wet regardless! And at least it means I'll get to have a shower this year...

Assuming most of us on here are going down on the Thursday? Can anybody remember if there was a cafe by Penrith station?? We're on the train at 7.20 so sod all chance of getting breakfast before we get there

[Flaminglippy]

There is McDonald's next door or if you traveling light walk past McDonald's cross the road and your at morrisons super market good cafe, opens at 7:30 ...... I think.

Plus you could just get your supply's there and travel even lighter and get a taxi from outside the doors.

[LOCHLAND5]

Thats excellent cheers chap. That'll save me humping the lager from Brum...job done.

[Flaminglippy]

Sorry naff info supermarket opens at 8am or you could go to booths supermarket which opens at 7am which is another minute walk going past mcD's again .

Beer deals are poor at booths though !

[xthomasevans]

first time this year so a quick question what time would you recommend getting there to have a good camping spot

cheers

[Comfy Bean]

I reckon he'll do a solo set at some point. I'm very surprised they're not getting the full band in to do 'Tellin' Stories'...that would be phenomenal just before James

Morning all!

My friend seems to think that this year you cannot return to your car during the festival?

Surely this isnt true? That would be rather irritating
