and just recovered from a weekend at Glastonbury :D

I had a FANTASTIC WEEKEND loved every minute of it even the rain, sludge didn’t spoil things and the loos weren’t too bad either.

It started with a quiet although very wet journey done there on Thursday evening after work, we decided to make the walk to the site rather than sit and wait and hope that the rain stopped. So we all put on our boots grabbed our bags and set off, not gone far before my sister told me i should have put my sleeping bag in a plastic bag to keep it dry so after some rearranging we set off again.

On the way to the site we passed loads of abandoned cans of lager where bags/boxes had broken from the strain :lol: there was even a lass walking in sandles and a short skirt not sure where she thought she was going, I am thinking she thought there was a 5 star hotel :lol:

When we finally got through and found somewhere to camp God smiled down on us and said “Okay I will give em a break” and the rain stopped while we put up out tents. Once done it was certainly time for bed as it was after 1am but first we checked our clothes and yep most items were wet :(

Okay then time for some pics :)

Our marker as to where to find our tents, you needed one as the sites are huge!!

Inside my tent was pretty cosy in other words only space for one person plus backpack etc.

The loos or one set anyway you walk up the steps and into the loo, which is basically a hole with a seat on it everyone can see your feet below the door lol then below it is a huge pit where everything drops!!! Needless to say I didn’t poo in these loos no way!!

Might need to scroll quickly with eyes closed over next pic hehehe!!!

The portaloos which weren’t nowhere near as bad as i expected unless you went in after a bloke hehehe!! Not really not all men were bad even though some were!!

Seems like you always leave for a while, then post saying "I'm back", and then don't post anything else until your next "I'm back" thread. :D

Saw. . .Amy Winehouse

Might need to scroll quickly with eyes closed over next pic hehehe!!!

Nah I rarely announce that I am back and never make a thread about it well not till now anyway I don't think, I just post as never really got anything new to say. I do lurk a lot though even if I don't post ;)

I'm sorry. :(

Yeah I was too she didn't sound good at all, but she punched someone at the front of the crowd so that was a bit of excitement.

Yeah, that was one crappy picture.

That's it totally not really about the line up at all it's the fun of being there and not caring about not having a shower for 4 days, having to wash your hands with a spray thing as there aren't enough sinks about and also obviously the all day drinking ;)

I would have liked to go to the one in Leeds since it's closer than Reading and has the same lineup anyway but I knew there were no tickets left ages ago :(

Thanks Chuckie at least someone is pleased to see me lol

/me huggles Chuckie :D

Yeah, using those kinda "loo"s sucks, and smells... best thing to do is leave a dump there as soon as you get there. That way, Bob willing, you won't need to later during the festival/wherever after the refuse has... err... 'festered'

Chemicals can only do so much in keeping the poo smells away!
