Scenes From Our Campsite

Misty sunrise over Glasto. Click on me for larger versionYou know when summer is here when you start planning for Glasto. This year we decided to go on Wednesday evening instead of having to get up really early on Thursday morning. Me and Matt were the brave people to do this with Simon and Mark joining us the day after. We expected it to be quiet but it was quite the opposite and parked the car just a 5 mins away from our annual site, however getting to the entrance involved a long walk and took nearer half an hour to get to the site! We set up all the tents including the Wolverhampton crew who were also coming on Thursday and spent the rest of the day an night relaxing. Mark and Simon arrived later than planned as they had managed to be put in an even worse carpark than ours at the opposite Select paper publicity shot.

Hmmm, now it was a bit much to expect perfect weather like last year but unfortunately the rain didn`t keep off totally which I discovered to my cost when I helped Simon get the last provisions for his car. We got absolutely soaked and the whole journey took even longer with us having to keep finding shelter and that his stuff weighed a ton or something. Especially after my wood lugging exercise earlier. After someone nicked our wood last year I made sure that my labour wouldn't be in vain this time. All my firemaking skills were needed to make the fire as the wood was soaking wet although it was a bit smokey. Surprise of the weekend was the appearance of Anna who we didn't know was coming after deciding to come at the last minute.

Fave Campsite Games:

  1. The Wolverhampton posse. Click on me for larger versionThe Spotlight game, pick on someone walking past your site and shine your torches at them so they are in the spotlight. Follow them with your torches until you get a reaction.
  2. The you'll have someone's eye out with that game. At random times during the evening get out your torch and shine it in somebody's face. To this they should reply "You'll have someone's eye out with that". Repeat forever.
  3. The lets see how far we can kick cheesy biscuit sandwich things without them disintegrating or getting in each others tents.

Sob, it's time to pack up and go home. Click on me for larger versionFunniest thing to happen over the weekend

A girl coming to our site asking to borrow a torch so she could find her tent. After giving her his torch Matt had mine and quickly went after her to help her find the tent. After spending ages finding it came the immortal words that she wasn't even sure it was even in this field. Hmmmm.
