Great find and I really hope that's right, but it's still too far out to be anywhere near as confident as he was being! The models are still changing a fair bit from run to run, but are trending towards a positive forecast. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They REALLY remind me of an act from the 2019 line up, but I've not been able to place who that might be. Absolutely this. I can't imagine that they won't have Simon Armitage on stage with them. If they don't I'll go bloody ballistic. The album is so good... Ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coupey Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Was working out earlier how much cash to take for settlers and the main fest and was wondering how close GM actually is to being cashless these days? I've never noticed how many food places/stalls/bars took card payments in the past, but it would simplify things a lot. Feels really weird to be carrying cash around - don't think I've taken out more than £50 from a cash machine since the start of lockdown! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Obviously different festival but bluedot was cashless for basically everything 2 years ago. Contactless tech is everywhere now & im hoping not to use any cash but you’ve reminded me to take some just in case. To be fair mobile signal would be dreadful in a national park i expect which may limit ipads with izettle for the food unless they have a good wifi network onsite for traders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are staying in Pontypool and want to commute to and from the site each day - any suggestions on the quickest way to do this please? I am guessing we are going to need to prebook some taxis, can pilot it on the Thursday, but if this is the best way is there a good drop off and pick up point? Or would park and ride be the only option for this? I guess our other option is to get to Abergavenny and get the shuttle from there? Any advice hugely appreciated! Thank you Does anyone have any advice at all for me on this please? Even a good taxi firm to use or any advice on a “shortcut” / alternative entry we could get dropped off to and picked up from each day (after wristbands collected) thanks so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably be cheaper to hire a car for the weekend. How about train from Pontypool to Abergavenny then taxi to the site? Not sure if shuttle buses run throughout the festival or if only Thursday/Friday and then Sunday/Monday return. If they allow drop offs at the settlers/blue gate that's the closest one if you are coming from Abergavenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakestock Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I’d try giving Crickhowell Taxis a call and see what they advise re price likelihood of being able to book for that trip at such a busy time for them. Their number is 01873 811764. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed90 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I'm going to try and counteract you lot jinxing it from here on. Looks like it's going to be terrible conditions. Two out of three days non stop rain. Gale force winds. It's going to be muddy as hell and freezing cold.

Chazwozza Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 The Country file weather forecast didn’t fill me with joy. But I suppose it didn’t cast me down into despondency either.

We now need the semi legendary Azores Finger… Last week they said there was settled and warm weather coming by now because the jetstream was moving. BBC forecasts have gone right down the pan since they stopped using Met Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&R a good option if you can take all your kit in one go .. if you need more than one trip could be a bit of a pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
