Non Music Questions etc

Hi all

Quick question - did anyone use the "quiet camping" area last year? Any idea where it is and if it was actually quiet?

Many thanks

Do we have any idea what the food stalls will be this year? The absence of Pieminister at NDH was a sad tragedy...

If I had my way there would be a stall selling salads and lots of cheese. I often find that the food stalls are mostly high carbohydrate based foods. Last year I did manage to get a fairly decent ploughmans though. Didn't pieminster miss EoTR last year too??? My little friend loved the fudge stall last year, which I remember got robbed on the saturday night. What kind of person steals f*****ng fudge???

yes, me. and yes it was and i shall be there again this year assuing the same location.

its right at the end of the site, past the pagoda tower. there is lane you cross (which goes into staff camping) then a field on its own.

upsides:

- did exactly what it said on the tin

- spacious

- nice outlook

downsides

- facilities just water point and toliet block

- longer walk from the stages, camp shop etc

- not all the field is level

Mmmm, cheese *drool forms*

I'd steer clear of the Porcelain Wraps and the Dirty Peaches though!

Just remember to say Hurray for the Kit Kats.

Found an old thread with a map on it no idea how much it's changed from then but I'm sure someone can add to it (at least a stage missing I think)

here's my crappy attempt to update:

Comedy no longer in the pavillion but not sure where as I've never been!

[Infinite Jest]

Comedy is on a new stage, down hill at the "back" of the festival (sorta opposite the pavilion and roughly parallel to the Garden Stage or even further up).

[cmouse]

Quite big changes from the one I found then! I guess the camping is still underneath and to the right but I'll be looking for the happy campers flag :-)

It's nice to have a vague idea where stuff is when you get there (I think the posters on that old thread guessed that the Woods stage would be top right).

First time at EOTR and not arriving till after dark on Thursday night/ Friday morning. Could really do with some guidance/advice as to where to camp and how to get to the right camping area from the car park?? Is it just one entrance to the campsites or multiple entrances like Glastonbury?? Not looking for quiet/family camping! Somewhere with a bit of after-dak life to it! Can anyone assist??

Yeah, if you want a lively area later on it's best to head to the woods dance stage, or the late night bands in the Tipi, or just wander round the festival site and see what's happening. The campsites tend to be pretty quiet later on (thankfully, for those of us who are older or have to get up early on Monday to go to work.. ).

[Yokel Again]

I think the 'late night' stuff has got better over the years. We were tucked up in bed, but I seem to remember the dance floor in the woods staying lively until late last year. And the Tipi.

It is a very chilled festival though generally.

that map is generally about still right, comedy has moved again this year I saw in a post somewhere earlier in the year so who knows where it will be. The whole area in the west of the festival site (i.e. the bit at the top) is always busy late after the bands have finished, there is a dancefloor down there and stuff. Also where it says 'fire' on the map there is now another stage there, a couple of bars and a sort of meeting place that always gets busy late at night.

You now enter from the car park just to the right of where the woods stage has been marked geofelgie's map, family camping is right there. The more lively camping is near to the festival site just off the eastern edge of the map, but as people have said the campsite itself is fairly quiet at night. The whole site is small so it isn't really worth partying at the tents, you may as well hang out inside the festival site (you can take drink in there as well).

Finally you will have to get the before 10 or so on the thursday or after dawn on friday, they will actually turn you away if not you can't blag your way in

[Christophales]

actually where i said 'another stage' i meant the tipi is now much bigger than it used to be and is the only one that stays open as a bar later on when the other stages are finished. That is where you get the secret sets and the Thursday night acts as well

[Christophales]

oh and there are djs in the big top until really late on each night, went on until 4/5am (bit fuzzy) at No Direction Home so will probably be the same at EOTR this year

Thanks everyone for a great response - looks like its a hotel Thursday night then!
