Hi all! Apologies for my long absence, I was away in Ibiza and lost myself few a few days when I got back in recovery mode!

It really does! Especially in your 30s, I reckon 20 year old me would be shocked and saddened by my recovery time. 

Ready to go again though!

What/where is the Gateway riser?

I've had to move into the shade as i was feeling the sun burn me already this morning. Gonna be another scorcher down on the farm. Definitely a space blanket on your tent year!

[lucyginger]

Morning! I am about to start packing and sorting things out to leave this afternoon! I have loads to do! 

Have a safe journey everyone, see you tomorrow at the efests meet, or Thursday at NFR! 

Very excited!

[sheffieldlady]

All packed, car loaded, waiting to get through the next two hours of work before heading to a friends before tomorrow. So excited for this years festival (and hoping to make both meets this year!)

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Hi All

Leaving tonight, hope to arrive early tomorrow, see you all on the farm!

Got a bit emotional typing that. Could be a cry fest this year.

 

[noplacelikehome]

Hi all - is anyone else still in work?

@guypjfreak is your van fixed yet???

[Skoo]

I'm still working til 5:30. Then home to our sauna-like house to finish packing. VERY nervous for some reason, think because I am coaching and stressing about not taking too much stuff!

Can't wait to set off

Hey you lovely lot

Had a look at the theatre field, and I reckon this place might be a good spot to meet up, for those wanting to see NYBB. About 50 yards from the spot they'll be playing, and good for a nice cold drink!

Cheers Curly - hopefully I'll be brave enough to show my ugly mug this year..

[Seldom Seen Kid]

Final prep underway now. Painting nails then nipping to work to liberate my prosecco cans from the fridge before final check/panic and departure! Need a drink to steady the nerves I think.  Am taking appropriate weather-god appeasing attire. See you all there 

[Quark]

Back from Cuba! So glad I packed my glasto bag before I went, made life much easier today! Decanting booze and sharpening my pocket knife then it's early doors for the coach tomorrow

Will try and catch up on the last 15 odd pages, but the main thing seems to be 15:00 on Thu for NYBB and booze! Looking forward to meeting all you lovely people at last, safe travels all

Arse, late to the party as usual.  I thought it was the Ridge and Furrrow after NYBB?  Help please!!

Yup, Ridge and Furrow was the plan.

Currently sat on the hill above the Tipi village, enjoying the view across the whole site  Heading to the Arcadia crew bar shortly, then back to camp for a much needed shower (28,000 steps so far today, buckets of sweat, and clouds of dust!) After that, who knows? Looking forward to seeing the punters (including you lot!) pour in tomorrow morning!

See you soon!
