[CreamyC]

Moo, shut up. It wasn't an army camp you fool.

[campalena]

Dont remember much about it, so suppose was a good nite!! Strange Dave played awsome bouncey set! With Passion! TUNE!

 

And im home at same time as u lot as we on same coach and still going strong, friends round, u guess!! WASTED!

 

Coach did really piss me off as most of u on there knew!

 

THEY TOOK THE PISS DID THAT COACH COMPANY!

 

Thats one of the things that puts me off going again cos 2 yrs running have had problems getting home, last year coach broke down on way home, but managed to get it going again, but we were all shitting ourselves as coach was goin 10mph up motorway lol! This year replacement coach, the driver couldnt determine whether he had the heating on or not, yes it was [censored] roasting all the way home!! DISCUSTING. The main event though, had good time, was an experience with all the mud etc. And gr8 to meet u lot!

Well I really enjoyed myself, the weather didnt bother me 1 bit. Yeah, so it was muddy, yeas it was a bit slippery, but I didnt go for the weather, I went to have fun and get absolutely hammered (mission acomplished...I mushies)

 

OK...the rain did make me a bit cold and miserable but just getting into a tent livened me up and made me forget about the [censored] weather. Theres always next year .

[Titchy]

after sum fucker tried to trip me up in the mud i really dont remeber much. far to off my face. had good time tho-still didnt have a betta time than last yr tho.

 

weather did get to me must admit-it was shite!!!

 

hellloooooo to all u freaky peeps i met in sunny d tent... moo, jon m, bushy, si etc... etc... (too many to remember)

hellloooooo to maria and james, little miss diddy, tony p, dooby etc... etc... and everyone else i met down the fair.

 

james one word..... WALTZERS!!!

I had a great time despite the weather, thought it was actually quite funny trying to walk in the mud!!!

 

Good to meet a few peeps too, I dunno a bit of rain & mud & peeps are like *oh what a crap night* each to there own i guess, It was warm & dry inside the tents & I didnt think they were too packed, so considering everything IMO it was still wicked!!

Cheers to Maria for getting me on those rides!! Fantastic hon

[Dawn]

I had a great time met lots of lovely CTW'ers (not as many as i'd hoped but there's always another time)

 

Managed to get into every tent, heard some great sets, who, what and where I have no recollection

 

Managed to loose all my mates, finally got their txt that they'd sent at 2.30 saying they'd gone home threw to me at 5 but a good mission had looking for them

 

The mud was the highlight of my night many helpful young men about

 

But I will not be wearing backless trainers to another outside event

I must admit I didnt particularly enjoy it this time. Last year was fantastic and obviously the weather helped a lot but I'm really going off festivals and long durations now. Quite a few things didnt go according to plan and where the fook was the 'lazer fountain' - myself and Signum had a good laugh about this non-existant meeting place - there were far better/larger landmarks around ! I did manage to bump into most people though I think, was just a pity we couldnt have all got together at least once but to be honest its always going to be difficult and sets will be on which people wont want to miss for anything - especially if they've already worked their way up the front.

 

Burgers were £5 - and didnt even taste that great. Beer was £4 a can. My favourite tent was the Strongbow one as it was the dryest and a pint was only £3, plus the sound system was better than the one in the Sundissential tent and myself, dooby and maria listened to one of the best funky house sets we've ever heard in there. I made a short visit to the trance tent but really didnt have the effort to get right to the front but the visuals were spectacular.

 

Driving out took a few hours but I expected this from last year. Felt really sorry for Pablo who had LOST HIS CAR KEYS and had a car load of people to drive back to Manchester - hope he's ok ! Saw another couple of cars being towed off as well due to people losing keys I expect. Maria had her mobile nicked out of her pocket, i'm quite suprised i didnt lose anything actually.

 

Smaller, more personal clubs for me from now on.

 

At least my calf muscles are well excersised!

 

Was great to see lots of you there though, this is what made it worthwhile in the end.

i must be one of the few people who actually had a blast! yep the mud sucked but so what...great atmosphere, great people...rip off prices butcame prepared for that..highlight of the night for me was lab 4 who rocked and a particularly storming set from mr mark gray.

loved seeing all the wrecked fluffy boots in the mud..suckers! like to say hi to everyone i met in the sunny d tent and mark and kim on the big ben tower!

did any one else see elvis or was i mashed??

sophie is reminding herself why she never goes to festivals any more!!!

[Mr Moo]

if you're going to be miserable it's a good job you didn't!

 

there's always going to be [censored] things about festivals, but fact of the matter is, even though the weather was [censored] (!), the drinks were expensive (!) and the food was rank (!), half us will still go to next year's, anyway. why? because when you look at the overall picture it was a [censored] good night and i don't think anyone on here could really say their night sucked 100%. ask everyone again at the end of this week, and then see how their opinion changes...

 

in some ways it's a measure of whether you like the music and atmosphere enough to go and brave the outdoors. as you were saying yourself in another thread you're tired of clubbing anyway??
