RonniePhosphate Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Hello As first timers (at the age of 59) at a Festival, (but seasoned outdoors types), I have some practical questions/advice requests. - Best time to arrive Friday (we are only over the other end of the A66 so normally takes 60-80 mins to there).. planning on being there for about 10:30am - Quietest (likely) Camp ground...? - Do I need to borrow / buy a Sack trolley or barrow to transport the tent / food / in one go etc? - or are multiple trips practical / (ie is the car park miles away) - I assume that's permitted to go back to your car ? - I have Coeliac disease so need to eat Gluten free (basically I can't eat bread and a few other staples) - what's the food like there ? - any other practical advice is greatly welcomed.

Friday arrival earlier the better Easy rule for camping in the main areas, the further left you go as you look at from the main gate the quieter the camping area Yes trolley a great idea but you can do multiple trips Food is wide and varied, both the Indian and Seychelles food stand will also cook to order if you mention you coeliac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonniePhosphate Posted July 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 many thanks. the farthest left advice is appreciated! Our daughter advised that using a plastic sledge (she did this at Leeds apparently) is not a bad idea provided there wasn't gravel paths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go as far left as you feel comfortable with, you will be fine! To the right just has an 8-10ft haze above it of weed, jizz and Chlamydia, always chocca though so appeals to some!

I’m all for the increase brother if it means we get better artists along the way ! Prince , Bowie and Amy winehouse would be my prediction.
