cheers

Well I don't know first hand but for a couple of years one of our group was registered disabled. He seemed to find things OK and even coped in the bad mud year of 2007. There is a disabled viewing area with seats for the V Main Stage where you can chill out and its close enough to toilets and food that you wouldn't need to move far. I have seen quite a few wheel chair users getting about OK at V too so I wouldn't worry.

Hope that helps settle your mind.

Yes it was muddy and rainy '07 and '08 if I remember we had to baby wipe Martin's stick after the Foos so he could go to bed - he let it fall in the mud somewhere near the toilets...

'08 was muddy too - I remember it slatting it down while I was dancing like a drunken monkey to Sonnet by the Verve.
