Well, I'm back and i had a bloody fantastic time!!

'Psychedelic' saturday was the best time for me..i danced all afternoon in the blazing sunshine, and well into the evening like some kind of crazy man at the origin stage!
All of it was great but i especially liked Zen Mechanics and Laughing Buddha.

A nice suprise for me was seeing Mr B's set in the breaks tent, never heard of him before, but i thought he played some excellent music.

I found the toilets to be pretty bearable most of the time and i thought they did a great job of keeping the music at an acceptable level at night...you couldn't hear much outside the tents, but inside it was loud enough.

I didn't have a single problem with thefts, security or the police (there were alot of police about), but i did see a couple of people being arrested.

My only gripe, and i guess this is to be expected at a festival, is the price of some of the food and drink....£5.00 for a cup of fruit juice? Come on.

Overall i had a great time!!!

What did the everyone else think?

yes i thought it was mint, i was just disapointed how quiet it sounded when the master jeff was on it sounded pretty quiet,

there were loads of police about i know a couple of people who were nicked but you could say the police had them bang to rights and they were actually ok about it and werent overly arsey, my mate got busted with two disco biscuits and they let him off and didnt even look for the mdma he had stashed in his shoe so you could say that was a result

campsite was busy but not rammed i would say just nice,

the drinks price was pretty shocking, five quid for an orange juice is getting a bit much and the food was pretty average

one of our boys ended up with a diagnosed case of nora virus which wasnt pretty

and thanks to tony asleep and festive al for leading my already astray mates even more astray!!

Most of the stages sounded terrible - all bass and treble, no mids - thus everything sounded the same

bit disappointed that there was no 80s takeover Sad

As always my FW buddies were amazing

I had to get the coach home on Sunday evening - lots of people not looking at each other!

Every year just gets better and better. What a weekend, bit gutted i could not get monday off. But hey ho, i still had the best time ever. Esp with Tonyasleep and festivAL. Thats one to go down in the history books.

What was the orb like as i missed them? I took my tent home as my legs were killing me, then they would not let me back in. Gutted.

Soon i shall get my voice back and oh my ears too Smile

So nice to see so many people i knew. Man you just gotta love the FW crew.

I had an absolute blinder, best people to go to a festival with. Met so many wicked folks. Music in the overkill on Friday was a shame but otherwise awesome festival.

We had an amazing time, definitely the best since '05.
Weather couldn't have been much better and I really enjoyed the smaller crowds and less cramped camping, lets hope it stays that way.
Only gripes I had were (yet again) the sound levels and the food and drink prices.
I experienced the security to be so much more sensible and low key which is brilliant as it removed the paranoid atmosphere that plagued '06.
Camping with you FW guys made it all the better and so memorable.
Can't wait till thursday!!
