An old site map, but fairly accurate still. The stages have moved around but campsite still the same.

Where will we all be camping.
As i will be meeting up with tonyasleep.com and FestivAl.

Give me a clue and i will try and meet you! As i dont really care where i camp aslong as it aint on my own.

well we has plans but last year it was so fooking busy they may not work. we intend this year not to lug stuff all the way to id spiral tho its a great place to camp. sy & i will be setting up gazebo, pwetty lights and flag etc in the first field but towards the main site, so if you look at that map then i guess thats past 'quiet camping' towards that W2 point but prob towards the back by trees. say between 'quiet camping' and 'emergency exit b'. however until we get there its pretty hard to say. i would love to be further in but theres a car full of stuff to carry and its a long way, even with volunteers (who will prob disappear on the monday for packing up!). In my experience at glade people usually end up all over the place but i hope we get a decent fw camp as we're bringing lots of stuff!

I think not trying to go too far in is the right move as it will also mean there will still be space for FW crew to pitch if they arrive later. If you go too far in the only people who will be able to camp there will be the ones that arrive before 4pm on Thursday.

All righty. I will be there from middayish on the thursday. So i could help keep some space free for you all.

But remember they still have not sold out yet. The weather scared a good few off this year. So will not be as packed. Plus not as many people this year. All good i think. I will look for you, but say i am the first i will pitch my tent roughly in the location you sudgested. See you in a few days ( man that does sound good! ).

But this year they are only selling 12,000 tickets and they still have not sold out, so I am hoping there will be more space as we are bringing quite a large tent this time........

now that's a tent!

To be fair she is very small so it looks bigger than it is, but yes it will be luxury compared to my usual two man thing.

It was 12,500 to be exact, but yes they have not sold out yet so please support the glade and get your tickets now. I am sure you will find a place to put your cool tent Sico.

As i live so near and lurve the glade so much i am going up to waising later on today, was there this morning like walking my dog and the site is looking cool. damp to the buttocks but not swamped.

I look forward so bad to glade now! Who ever gets their first get a designated area. As i will try real hard to get that. Exactly where Joy and Si said to go Smile

See you very very soon.
