That sure was Glade back at it's best. Loved the tunes and the trees and soo many happy smiley people! Did wander over to the fessy weather camp but everyone was out to play.

Just enough time to get ready for BC now. Shame I couldn't take just one of the dance tents with me.

Doh! Cant believe we missed you deecee3, we spent way too much time at that camp, i guess its good to know that there were times when none was there!!!

See you at BC?

Yeah, for sure, I'm in the campervan field with a group and will aim to visit some of the music as listed on the recommended dj's thread. Otherwise, I will be in the sunrise field and will look out for the flag. I think it's going to be a fun weekend!! Very Happy

Went very fooking quick. Wink

Got to say though average festie for me. Not as good as 04,or 06 and the music was better for me in 07 even though the weather was shite in 07...still the best festie in the UK tho Wink

love ya Glade

that is all.

Absolute blinder again - but Joy I'm so sorry I didn't catch up with you!! I had to keep going for little walks on the Thursday night, you know when you really REALLY need to move Laughing

Everything was wicked, I don't know if it was my best ever because all of them have been so good and it's difficult to decide but suffice to say I will be first in line again when tickets for next year go on sale Laughing

Too many highlights but special mentions have to go to Autechre, Clark, Daedelus, Octopussy, Rob Hall and the Wedding Disco because all those things made me smile lots and lots Cool

i had a wicked one i wish i coulod have met a few mroe of you though that was a bit of a shame, but we were talking about this the otehr day and from where we camped the most played tune of the festie was aha take on me from that bloody wedding thing it was on about 20 times a day!

Weather - fantastic. One or two showers Thurs/Fri then gorgeousness - fucking win.

Music - NEEDED TO BE LOUDER ON FRIDAY (in the overkill anyway) but brilliant all round. as usual I missed half the people I wanted to see due to muntism, but never mind. Very Happy

Toilets - Fine, only had one I had to walk back out of. Usable most of the time.

Water - Was it just me or were most of the water taps on the map imaginary? They should have them between all the stages.

Randomness - Yes. Yes. Yes. Lovely people, fantastic costumes, pissed myself with laughter too many times. respect to Mr Bump, Mr Tent Man, and the guy with the sausage meal who was following our mobile gabba disco around alternately crying with laughter and going 'SAUSAGESAUSAGESAUSAGE'

Food - OH WOW. The food was amazing. I ate so much chocolate cake.

Security - fine with me, no probs with uneccesary searches and they all seemed decent people. Lots of police in the arena I noticed, but again no probs.

Oh, and if you were in the inspiral on Sunday night, I hope you enjoyed the gabba disco. Razz

all in all, an amazing festival and what's more I know I can do it better next year (moar fancy dress!!) I'm sorry I didn't meet most of you, hope you all had a belter and hope to see you next year. sweetheart

CAN I BUY MY TICKET YET??

Yeah, I really noticed it during Remarc's set as I didn't spend all of Friday in there but it was definitely far too low at that point.

In fact, now I think about it, I'm not sure what I did do on Friday Laughing

Good point! We only found a water point near Origin and the others were up in the camping areas. Did other people find them? I wasn't sure if I'd just not looked hard enough Laughing

So were you in the mobile gabba disco then? I was walking out of ID Spiral as they were going in, wanted to stop but had to find my mates - damn I probably stared right at you, it was tres amusant Laughing

I didn't see a water tap the entire festival, not that I was looking for one, I survived on cider and straight spirits the entire time.

The water taps were few and far between......we were lucky coz we brought 2 butts of spring water with us but others are not so lucky

loving the reviews in this thread Very Happy

it was great to spend my first festival not fucked off my face!! It's inspired me to get back into music again, that's all. You're all fantastic yes

I had probably my best glade so far.......camped withthe anders crew and hey are a fantastic bunch of people.

Managed to break meself pretty much every night but i was still a little jetlagged anyway. Briefly caught up with some of yu all but wish i had found time to have a dance with some of yu.

I will be back again next year and will be doin it as a 3 or 4 week trip next time so i won't havee the jetlag issue and i might get to catch up with some more of yu.

hey steffan, i was most sorry not to party with you but it was lovley to see you even tho briefly! Im glad you had such a good time, my best Glade too! We had a fab camp as well, so maybe next year weshould combine the two and it will be even BETTER!!!

well i had a great time running around the pussy parlour and vapor tents friday night dressed up in ma blanket and kayne west shades waving my lightsaber about and disco dancin with all the beautiful ladies!!

untill i caught the damm noro virus and started vomiting about 10pm saturday night all the way through till monday mornin..... every hour - sometimes more than once... i saw the medics and they said all i could do was stay in ma tent and drink water (which i would vomit)

kinda ruined it for me Neutral

i must admit i did feel sorry for you tek, i mean i was worried you were going contaminate all of us with it so top marks on containment...

i cant even remember if you managed to meet robbie dee the original detanotor and tony asleep and festival who popped into the gazeebo of doom

and i was so impressed with your attempt of karma balance by taking a farmer with you,

yeah u did well to stay away - glad i didnt contaminate yah that could have been nasty

i didnt meet robbie dee - i saw him from my bed of illness i would ocassionaly stick my head out for air

next time i'm get a bull spunk baseball cap too Smile

Not good on the norvo thing tek Sad

I too felt for ya man, but if ya like i sure did party for ya, as i partied way too hard just for one person. I am intent on a visit too you guys in september.
I am really looking forward too it Smile
