thanks, hope i don't need you, i'll be there with an old mate who'll be helping me out. wife is worried i won't be able to get myself in and out of my van to use the bed, i reckon i will.

 

last night i added the wychwood line-up to the efestivals website.

I'm not offering to help you in and out of bed - I'll leave that to your old mate.  But I'll be around to help if need be.

thanks i won't need help like that, i might need a little help putting on some clothes, i struggle putting on a coat, its difficult when one arm doesn't work. nothing pARTICULARLY INTIMAT, tho, don't panic.

How's your general mobility - walking from your camper to the stages for example?

[grumpyhack]

Booked my night before the festival today at the Caravan and Motorhome Club site next door.  A gentle night, a chance to top up my water, empty any waste and charge my leisure battery.  Then on festival morning a gentle drive round to get wristbanded and set up the caravan.

I had a spare ticket thanks to being part of their ticket for life scheme and have now arranged with the very helpful Wychwood people for my daughter and her wife and twins to go.  With four other regular festival mates also going we should have a decent encampment.

not great gonna take my electric wheels.

[grumpyhack]

At least a lot of it is hard standing so, hopefully, you won't get bogged down.

So they dont open the campsite until 10am on the Friday then? Thats well weird.

[paulfoel]

Hoping to meet friends and camp next to them. How likely is this going to be that we find space?

Also, I've heard you can pretty  much drive in and unload? thats brill. 

Im just used to Glastonbury etc where you have to trek miles and its just madness and crammed full.

yeah, you should find space close to your mates, if not right next to them.

[paulfoel]

haha Im just thinking of Glasto where every last cm of space has got a tent on lol

 

[grumpyhack]

Lots of room but it was cold and damp which took the shine off things.  I remember the days when I had to open all the caravan windows to stay cool. This year it was remember how the gas fire worked.

s you know grumpy, i didn't make it as i couldn't find a driver for my campervan. i wouldn't cope in a tent cos of my mobility issues, and i've lost my driving licence.
