OK OK weather Gods - I have got walking boots! Now behave please!!!

Thanks STEatT - definitely not moving from glorious Brum yet then! Will probably head north after rush hour tonight to wake up tomorrow with the view from the clifftop at Heasham - which to be fair is always lovely even when it's shit! May take my traininers and have a little run along theseafront to see Eric in the morning.

Not a cloud in the sky here! Anyone got a surefire method of taking weather with you? If I really try I am sure I can bring it!

Seem to have a signal at the cottage, champion ! Im getting a lift down off the father in law on thurs morning, first time the trip to a festival will have been made listening to classic fm ! His station of choice, his car his rules !

Hoping to leave about 10.30 which should get me there between 12 an 1 I would have thought. Hopefully no silly queues then in an set up.

I'm pretty miffed I can't make it down on Thursday, still got two more shifts to get through yet. My only day off today though means all my packing is done. Just have to get through a rush hour train journey to Manchester then the coach with all my gear, not looking forward to that part

Evening all! First Kendal Calling! Excited!

Couple of quick queries if anyone would be so kind as to answer them! Firstly, I'm sure I read somewhere that you couldn't get a pass out of the festival except in exceptional circumstances (though i can't find it now so maybe I imagined it!) Anyway, I'm planning on making several trips to the car to carry my stuff. just wanted to check that it's possible?

Also, we shan't be arriving 'til around 7 or 8pm, hopefully going to camp in the quiet campsite. I assume we shouldn't have a problem getting a pitch? (Assume should be replaced by hope really!)

Cheers guys!

Notice in the info pack that there are showers in the normal camping (non-Emperors) - is this right?

Also, if anyone wanting to taxi share from Penrith centre on Thursday early afternoon, give us a shout!

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
