Osama Jim Laden Posted May 16, 2017 Report Share Posted May 16, 2017 So pumped for this.. Been going since 2012 and although to have a soft spot for Kedleston, it's just getting better every year.. See you all in a week or so, probably in a right state if that Jaipur 10 is on.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've asked already and apparently the bars aren't serving Jaipur X this year. Halycon should do the job nicely though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justanotheronethen Posted May 17, 2017 Report Share Posted May 17, 2017 Coach from London is due to get onsite at 11 on Thursday. Haven't been to Bearded since 2010 when it was on a different site - I don't know if at my age I should be as excited as I am, I really should know better by now :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although what I do know is the Halycon is plenty strong enough. I tried it in my local bar the other night and couldn't feel my legs after a couple of pints.

Gnomicide Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 Was driving up the M6 toll today, it was bucketing down, started to panic but forecast is looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkythetortoise Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 22 minutes ago, Gnomicide said: forecast is looking good. Two years ago, and two days before the festival, I was congratulating myself on not buying a ticket, given that the forecast had been, and still was, rain for every day. On the Wednesday, around midday the forecast changed, the sun came out, I bought a ticket on a whim that evening, and the next day drove all the way from East Anglia on my tod, having packed very poorly. The festival, as you will know, was dry pretty much all weekend, and despite very quickly realising I had forgotten many things, included a sleeping bag, I became a zealous enthusiast for a festival I'd been meaning to check out for years. I was then rewarded the following year, having cajoled a pal into coming with me, with glorious sunshine. I realised then what I say to you now We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
