Kendal Calling 2012

[generationgav]

Any suggestions on the best place to stop for breakfast on the way from Kendal?

[ramragon]

Hopefully get a chance to make sure the tents ok this weekend, every time I seem to have been off its spotted down, hopefully 2 dry days will help.

Packing stuff on Tuesday next week and then leaving for Wickerman area on Wednesday before Kendal the week after. Can't wait ! Just really got clothes an food to pack.

Started prepping my cool box as well, freezing 6 2ltr milk bottles filled with water, when they're done I'll pack them in the box with my frozen BBQ stuff, bacon an some cans. The box shud keep everything cool for 3 to 4 days an give cold cans all festival as long as its not opened that often.

Planning bacon sarnies for breakfast an bbqs a couple of times to go with the festival food

Really looking forward to Kendal this year. Went in 2009 and 2010 and it was one of the best festivals I've been to.

Arrangements for the EF seem a bit all over the place this year. Last time I went it was £10 and you could park next to your car.

What's the deal with Thursday night is much going on?

Ramragon I'm disappointed ........... I was hoping you would come and throw some shapes with me when the Utah saints are on ! Gutted

What can you do for me !

[LOCHLAND5]

I'm a fat Geordie, the shapes I could throw are limited to buddha or Santa Claus minus the white beard !

[ramragon]

Errr I'm a fat Cumbrian ............. Let's do it!

[cdb077]

There won't be much going on, few bars open, few food stalls as well, really just a chance to get on site an get set up so u can have a relaxing start to the festival before the music starts friday

[ramragon]

That's what I thought, not decided yet about Thursday.

[LOCHLAND5]

They had to put people in to witness protection the last time I took to the dance floor !

We'll get some stage times for the saints and it cud be an option

[cdb077]

If you live local I probably wouldn't bother, if u live further away then its a more relaxing start to the festival rather than getting up at crack of dawn, heading to site, queuing for a bit, finding a camping spot and getting set up before the band's. Suits me cos I like to be settled in and have a look around before the music starts.

Welcome to the forum by the way

Mick I see your strangely quiet on lakelands offer to take you dancing to Utah saints !

[ramragon]

I take it back !

[ramragon]

Thanks for the welcome and thanks for the info. I know what you mean about getting in early I like to get settled. Not too far away in Manchester but last time remember being up to get onsite really early. Might go for it, its an extra night away if nothing else.

[Mr_Grump]

I was quiet as I was choking with laughter at the thought of the five of us (we're having Lippy there too) doing some crazy 'dad dancing' in the Glow Tent!!
