Badlands Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 There's not much info on the website about emperors fields camping. Cheers to all that have contributed on here as at least I've some insight now. Any recommendations from those lower on the line-up? I've got 4 acts I want to see (2 of whom are clashing it seems). Seemed to have picked a year where practically all the big acts just don't float my boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top of my "lesser known must sees" list are - Circa Waves, DMAs, Fickle Friends, The Shimmer Band, Loyle Carner and Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5. I'd also forgotten just how good Editors are ! There is a thread on here "if you like them, you'll like these" - A masterstroke of a thread which sadly didn't get anywhere near the amount of replies as it deserved but there are a few recommendations on there so check that out too !

seano1988 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Sack Barrow or wheelbarrow? Anybody had experience using either of this to carry their stuff from car to camping spot? I was going to use the wheelbarrow i've got in my garden but my brother in law is adament that a sack barrow is much better and you can take more stuff with it. Opinions?

You need a pneumatic type tyre, not a cheap plastic one, for trudging over rough terrain. If your wheelbarrow has one of those types of tyres, in my opinion it's a winner over a sack barrow.

t2t Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 2 years ago I had one, BUT beware of folk using it as a marker, all night long, all I heard was "there's the Barrow flag we're camped near" I tried taking it down, but one of the neighbours asked me not to as he would end up lost I thought about moving it 50 yards away, that would have messed with a few heads - including mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyg1990 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Ill take it then. dont mind people using it as a marker, its what I use it for haha!

Peanutsinger Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Is there any mobile phone reception? Any networks work for calls, text or data? Or am I going to have to live in utter fear for 4 days that the world will be ending and I'll not have internet to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SloopJohnB Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 EE is best in Cumbria generally. I've never had a problem with them. My wife is on O2 and that seems to be ok at KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramragon Posted July 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 They've actually released the running order early this year which is great news if you want to start and plan things a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port-a-loo Pete Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Where can I find the running order Ramragon ? Set times I mean, I'm aware they have released the day splits earlier than usual which was nice of them ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattrik3 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know how much of a queue there might be for the shuttle buses from Penrith station when they start at 10am on the Thursday? Also, what are the queues for the shuttle like on the Monday morning? We need to be at the station for a 09.20am train Edited July 13, 2017 by mattrik3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festival fan from fife Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I got the train from fife 2 years ago.We got to the station around 11ish and the shuttle line wasn't bad at all. We got a return taxi which might be a better option for you with having the early train home? My taxi was approx £15 each way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 We are taking the sprog to his first proper festival, and I'm having to plan things considerably more than I usually would. Will I be able to get milk onsite? I'm guessing so as festivals shops are relatively well stocked these days but I thought I better ask.

ramragon Posted July 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah there's a few shops where you can buy fresh milk. The village green shops tend to be open most of the day and night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenny124 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 Festival first timer here, just a few questions: 1) What's security like on the campsite entrance? How strict are they on bringing booze in, I know they allow a "reasonable" amount and no glass. Is there full bag searching and ID checks or is that more entry into the arena? 2) What time do people head off on Sunday? Just to arrange a lift in advance. 3) What's pricing like on food stalls? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cincoveces05 Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) 1, There'll be bag searches, probably more than before given what happened in Manchester, but they're not going to be bothered about how much ale you have, they're looking for weapons and drugs 2. Majority of people will stay until Monday morning, but a lot of people take stuff back to the car during the day and leave after the sunday night headliner. 3. Expensive, don't expect much change out of a tenner for burger and chips, there's some nice places though, Fire in the Hole Pizza was lovely last year Edited July 13, 2017 by cincoveces05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
