haha the Kasbah.....remember stumbling across this slightly intoxicated......we sat down all peaceful and all of sudden a mass pillow fight erupted....being thrown everywhere!!  they all got confiscated!

Sent the map to Mrs Jass and her response was "definitely!"

Start around lunchtime and you should be nicely pickled by the evening.

I always end up finsing it on the first night, and always has a fun atmosphere, even last year with everyone belting out "Angels" without a care in the world. Felt I'd well and truely landed!!

Although having looked at the map a second time I would (and will) sack off the Solstice Bar, Beat Hotel & Mandela and go from Glade to Kasbah to Chameleon to Cider Bus.

Fair swap!!

We've done a bar crawl the last couple of Thursdays, they've both probably ended up being my favourite days, although to be fair they tend to fall apart after about the 6th or 7th bar and we never stay the full course, I think we used that one last year but started at the bar on the green and worked anti-clockwise.

I might suggest a combination of a bar crawl and pub golf this year to mix it up, although that won't help my chances of trying to make it up for hacienda classical!

Didn't manage the pub crawl last year, just had a less organised wander around. Definitely want to make a point of giving it a go this year.

Easy one - come out of Bread & Roses (always easiest to navigate from the nearest other pub) and head towards the Pyramid field (this is Butts Lane apparently) and it's the first bar on your left - big Chameleon lounging all over the entrace!

I think Jimmy Greaves used to navigate his way around the country in that manner

Stonebridge bar was not open on Thursday last year. There was a good bar right up the top of The Park where you could get the steel pressed cups with lanyard and fur holder.

Stonebridge is always open on the Thursday, they have Baggy Mondays every year. There's always a huge crowd.

Yeah I was in the Thursday last year, had the misfortune of listening to Steve Davis

[ThePope]

Sorry, I should have been more precise, it wasn't open when I started my bar crawl from there at 13:00/14:00 ish

always mean to do a proper pub crawl on the Thursday BUT always start in Cockmill and decide to stay for a while sampling a few of the beers, always stay way longer than intend having a lot more beer than we should do do then make our way to the Avalon Inn as it's a great place to chill and a really good atmosphere in that field, again stay longer than should so only just make it to the Bimble Inn for a last few beers. One day......

Yea I do but I was wondering why the bread and roses wasn't on the map.. 

[Smexytime]

Never been before, are they all cash bars or is it the ticket system like other festivals?

there is loads missing " and I am not going to correct it as I am on a phone ( The OPERATION went well - they may let me leave TODAY - about noon - at least I still have my two feet - four people lost toes - just their bad luck) WBC planning meet is this Saturday so may have map - I know that some bars will change to more " walk in bars" than Counterbars so none of these will give a clue as to which has been changed  - even my crew bar has changed its location so it's all "Change - Change - Change"

its a map made up by Avalon ( or close copy ) although they also did not list " The Park Bar  " -  Its been a problem ever since the split from the WBC so what used to be one map is now two - what you NEED IS the DPS Map - but they don't make that one public - just stagger about - as long as you can find "The Bread" we can meet up for a drink - its early days yet and will not know for 6 weeks "but it's looking good" (will fill you in by PM)

What's the difference between a "walk in bar" and a counterbar?

Clue in the name, surely.  Some bars are in tents, some - like, say, Bar Boulevard round the corner from the Pyramid - are literally just long counters dispensing pints.

I think you're right and I shouldn't ask silly questions first thing in the morning.
