Glad you had a good time mate.

Thursday was only day it was really bad, although we dad have one brief tropical storm on one of the other days.

Im about 25 miles from glasto, so not always exactly the same weather.

Might go myself next year, other than sneaking in through the fence years ago (you'd never manage that one now I suspect!) ive never actually been to the event properly.

Thanks Chip, there was a thunderstorm on the friday night I think but it never got that close, for a moment though I thought that was going to be the turning point lol

You should definitely come next year, infact I'd advise anyone to go once, its totally mad and it does cater for everyone.

Paying is the only way to get in these days now though, I hear the fence is cemented in so you cant even dig under it !

Circus and general kids entertainers would qualify for something for children to see.

The Circus acts were actually quite good and getting all the kids involved (obviously slightly older than Jago but he would still enjoy it)

I've never been to a festival where there are SO many kids though, its kind of weird !

As I said it does cater for everyone although ideally if your going to take a kid you want them to know what is it they are at or its a very expensive few days away that maybe you would feel is better spent elsewhere ? depends how flush your feeling really, if you could afford to go to it and somewhere else in one year I'd definitely be going regardless of Jagos age

I'm still blown away by the whole thing totally, I'm not sure I will look at the rest of the festivals I have to do this year in the same way as their nothing like as laid back and have anything like as many things to do.

Listening to music, taking drugs and having sex is something you can do at ANY festival, walking around what seems like a area out of Star Wars vs Blade Runner then into somewhere like some industrial city from the future is more like something I'd expect to find in a club in Ibiza, not at a festival on a HUGE scale.

Massive respect to the organizers of it really as it is simply a incredible experience wherever you go.

Why not camp Al ? you do at totb and pv ? the toilets and general layout is FAR better than any car event.

You can take a caravan or motorhome but you camp off site and tbh I enjoy being around the proper campers just for the random shit they come out with and the random people you sit down and get hammered with !

Chip, yes you can mate, you keep you photo id ticket and show it them on your way out and they give you a pass to get back in which is ideal for you as you live so close you can probably grab a shower quicker by going home than you could by sitting in the que lol

Personally its baby wipes all the way for me , sod the shower LOL

Bath in a can for the win!

PMSL

Jonboy, I would probably camp a night or two then go home and have a bath and a decent night's sleep then come back.

Gutted Al, its a great experience, I love a bit of hardcore camping but just not at pv for example when frankly if it rains its quite shit as there is next to fook all to do.

Stt, flash bastard, were you working there ?
