Popping my Leeds Cherry

[sandy_]

Basically me and a few mates decided we were bored of T in the Park and its crap line-up and we've got some tickets to Leeds.

Just got a few questions, would be rad is some-one could answer.

Can you leave the campsite to go down the road to a supermarket/shop to get booze, or will we need to bring out carry-out down from Glasgow with us?

Is the campsite split into zones, and if so, whats the sorta mood/atmosphere like in each zone?

Is it easy to buy green in the campsite, and what're the prices like?

Cheers for any help!

Alright! Yeah you can leave, a lot of people get the shuttle bus down to tesco at seacroft to get booze during the festival. May be useful to either do this during the festival or before you first arrive.

Campsite has a number of zones, the general rule is those closer to the arena (e.g. yellow) are louder and busier and those furthest (e.g. brown) are quieter. Brown and green especially allow sleep to be had easier. This isn't a hard and fast rule though and you get differing atmospheres depending on who your immediate neighbours are. Check out the map on the official website once its up to get an idea of distance to the arena as well as brown can be a half hour walk sometimes if busy.

As for green, no experience buying it in there, wouldn't personally recommend it.

Biggest chance is that you'll pay £20 for barely more than £10 worth and it'll be crap. Depends if you're lucky enough to find good shit though. If you want to buy in there or risk bringing in is up to you, personally I leave it out.
