Quark Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Sit in the middle lane at all times. For no other reason than there's a chance that @fatyeti24 might be behind you and it'll really wind him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasonsing ..... my once a year trip back home, and friends will go that won;t do to any other festie OK , its certainly no Glastonbury. I go to the Essex one, not the Staffordshire version. Very arena based, I think for campers there is dance music on the Friday in one of the tents, other than that its a two day festival. Music (very radio one based) and a comedy tent. Lasy year there was a new bands tent which was really good (half empty but enjoyable) The Essex one is a varied age base, lots of day visitors as well as campers. can;t speak for what the campsites are like as I stay near to 'home' and get to see Mum while I'm there. We for 2 for 1 tickets this year so 89.00 for 2 days ... There are 2 big stages and then dance tents etc , easy to walk between the two, Obviously it has a bad reputation on here (and other places ) but I've alwasy had a giggle, and thats down to the company and being with buddies and outside listening to music I suppose think of Radio one big weekend with multiple stages lol Thanx FF. I'd be reluctant to pay £180 for 2 days of music but 2 for 1 is reasonable. It's the first time they've done that though isn't it? Do you know what day and time do the camping areas open? It's the only fest my mate from work want to go to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always try Beatherder, we went again this weekend and it is a quality weekend and it is also closer than Kendal for you (Sawley in Lancashire). Sean will be putting a review up soon, he is a confirmed repeat offender. A great laugh and you get gravy on your chips if you want. The chips and gravy has sold it haha! I'll look into it thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H.M.V Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 We have left Cornwall. We are making our way home even though house isn't ready. Making a couple of detours on the way. Possibly via a particular party village then rossendale. House inspection happening tomorrow. In other news no flicking of birds has happened thus far.

Its sent me under I started going in 2010, so only experienced one previous fallow year, in '12. I guess we were lucky that year, as we found out in the spring that we were going to have a baby, so the summer was taken up with decorating and furnishing a nursery, buying clothes, pram, car seat etc, and going to prenatal classes. This year, it's far more obvious to me that I've got 2 years to wait. I've got a family camping trip and another fest next month, but I'm struggling to get excited about them. Try to think of next year as an opportunity to try something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatherder, Blue Dot, Boomtown, Festival No 13, Kendal Calling. I've never been to any of these and they're all viable next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing there may be more deals before the festival is here. I think campsite opens Friday morning / lunchtime , and there are DJs on on Friday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
