Saturn5 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 As a newcomer to KC, can I just say I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the helpful tips (and nonsense!) on this forum over the past few weeks! I was apprehensive about going (we are in our 40s and out kids think we're 'past it') but everyone has been so friendly - I'm getting excited now! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrighterNow Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I feel just the same, Saturn. (We're also in our 40s, btw). Thanks to everyone. So excited now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumps Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi guys I agree with this whole heartedly. A great bunch of people on here...cant wait till Thursday Saturn I'm about to turn 40 & in our group there are guys that are close to 50. We are all parents and I know exactley what you mean. nah your not past it if you have fun in your heart !!! I hope everyone has a fantastic festival, see you in the fields from Thursday onwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramragon Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 No poblem, there's nobody on here actually associated with the festival so some of the info may be slightly out but it's a friendly enough place and you can ask anything you want. A lot of the people on here are a similar age (I'm 45, with a 2 year old, must be mad). As festivals go it's a good one to start with, not too big, friendly enough and you're sure to want to be back next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Grump Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 ...we are in our 40s and out kids think we're 'past it'... I was almost 47 first time I did KC back in 2011...take no notice, it's people our age that get the most from the experience!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazoodo07 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Same again here. Me and the better half on our early 40s, 2 teenage kids, think we enjoy it more than the kid to be honest!! Been good to hear we were not alone in the dreaded weather last year, and had a few questions of my own answered, Just fingers crossed for Thursday, See you in the fields!!

surfncanoe Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I am also in my 40s. I love festivals and have been all over the UK, but never to Kendal calling which is 5miles from my house. Reason for not going, I work at a local secondary school. This year, I thought sod it, don't care if the little blighters see me making a fool of myself. Any levellers fans out there. Can't wait to see them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
