Too many clashes...I am at the point I am seriously considering not bothering looking at the timetable at all over the weekend and just going with the flow. Looks like at one point will potentially have clashes on 4 stages at once. 

Sunday is a nightmare and I made it worse by taking some time to listen to Convoy Cabaret and Magical Sounds as well - the colours mean stuff to us but I think the amount of colour shows the Sunday clash nightmares!

You could be right as this lot did cause me  a few headaches trying to sort - I am watching their social media to see if any put down times

From what I can gather I see the whole day as being a bit like a 'variety show' almost if that makes sense. Jay coming on and chatting between acts with little breaks from the stage. Can see lots of duets and joining each other on stage with little regard for set stage times, more of a family get together almost. I also have good info that his Mum and Dad are going to be there (his Mum told me!).

Hi,  looking for advice on campervan fields. Do first arrivals get pitched in the woodland field,  is the woodlands field a good spot for campervans?  

The website states pitches are 7x7,  does that mean pitching a side awning is allowed?

Any comments on peoples experience of campervaning at bearded theory and any advice most welcomed.

As long as it fits in your pitch it is allowed as far as I know but as for who goes where and when, not a clue.

Is it too early to talk weather? It is scary, it all looks far to promising.

I think today is the first time this year that it feels like festival weather.  Hope it lasts!

They fill the fields concurrently depending on the road traffic.

Plus additional pitches this year that have hook up so they will be filtered off to wherever they are going to be located too.

And yes awning ok if fits in your pitch, which are mowed 7m long and marked 7m wide.

Convoy Cabaret times are taken from last years times and this years running order added as a best guess.
Meadow times are those the Woodland used last year with this years running order added.

They will be out but it may not be by much or it may be by heaps.

There were quite a few on Maui Waui that had changed from the original announcement so perhaps it was one of those - as far as I know they are not there.

Mine is similar. It's got to the point now where I feel sorry for anyone I haven't highlighted.

Morganway - only half an hour out on the Clashfinder - we're on 5pm-6pm Maui Waui Friday... probably my favourite time of the weekend to play a fest!

Staying for the whole weekend, let's have a laff!

I hope nobody minds me piggybacking this post. We are one party staying in a campervan, but coming in seperately in the camper and one car. Does anyone know how the two people in the car gain access to the campervan field after they have parked up. Any advice would be much appreciated.

If they are on foot from the main car park just walk through wristband exchange (getting wristbands on the way) then keep straight through the camping fields. You will arrive with accessible camping on LHS (if in same place). CV fields are off to the RHS but I would get those you are with to meet you on the corner as you leave the camping fields otherwise finding them will be hard.

Thanks for the info. So we don't need a seperate wristband to get into the CV fields?

Unless the new owners have changed things, which I doubt, no you don't.

What is the state of the ground at the site? I think the build started today?

I've just remembered my wellies died a couple of years ago (didn't need them at BT last year) I have a pair in my Amazon shopping basket (cheapo Dunlops) along with some reproofing spray for the tent and some spare tent pegs as I seem to be a bit down on them. 

Excitement is starting to build.
