This Years festival was one of the best ones in a long time,although I agree with a lot of people who feel the fest has lost its way-with Orange, Rizla, Carlsberg etc making their presence felt.

The highlight of the festival were Rolf Harris (saw him at last!!!), The Egg, Chumbawumba (didn't even know they were playing!!!), NIN,ADF and the burning of the wicker man. Good tip-forget the major stages and go to the smaller venues because u know bbc2 will only show the pyramid, other, new and jazz stage!!

The toilets were a bit better than previous years but there's always room for improvement!!

I avoided the crush and left on Tuesday - it's a surreal experience but i was dismayed by the mess left behind - even in pennard hill by the green fields which i would expect to be cleaner but i give credit to those who are willing to stay behind and clean up this huge mess.

I wll return next year (hopefully with a car) and I want to see Colin Vearncombe and Aphex Twin on the billing.
