one is conviently placed if you live up north, and the other is conviently placed if you live down south.

Is only Hylands on tv? i was looking on channel 4 and 4music and it seems like that. it's my first V so it might only ever be that one on and i just haven't noticed from the warm vicinity of my living room

Yes highlights are usually from Hylands

There isn't much difference between the 2 festival wise- we've not camped at Weston, so can't comment on camping side. Have been to both fests though and now Hylands has a fair (Of sorts) and the indie disco there is even less differene between the 2. We just felt the atmosphere was slightly better at Weston, but having done the last 2 years there (With hideous weather) we're heading back to Hylands this year again for a change.

It might just be me, but i always felt Weston felt bigger- whereas Hylands, it never seems to take long to walk from one area to another.

The only map I've seen is the one on that PDF that was floating around, that didn't help anybody though

You're two years away have seen many changes at Hylands. Expect HUGE walks between stages and also now the Campsite and arena.

Unless theyve changed thins back this year, which Im sure we would have heard about by now.

Has there been a hylands map posted as yet?

[sjc0102]

OK, I've made a bit of an attempt to map out last years site using Google Maps. It's mostly from memory so please forgive any mistake. In fact I welcome and corrections/addiotionas you might suggest.

Let me know what you think.

UPDATE - I've just set the map to allow anyone to edit it, so as long as you have a google account, you should be able to log in and see and edit button. Please go crazy with getting this map up to date. Please add any tips, shortcuts etc.
