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 :)

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!!!
