Just finished. Phew. Queuing to get a programme now.

Heads up for anyone coming to the blue car park, there's STILL roadworks on the A465 and a flyover over the roundabout to turn off towards Crickhowell where the slip road was closed.

Maybe it was just us being useless but it was pretty confusing.

You are a legend!!

Some of the late night stuff missing tho.....Fever Club, Lycra, Alfresco Disco.....

[benali]

Hold on, I'll take pictures of the programme, it's kinda laid out like a clashfinder

Hi Benali, a lot of people (me included) will be very happy with all that.  Can I possibly extend you to posting the site map as GM don't seem to have put it up on the internet yet and I'd to check for any changes as I given directions to friends based on last year's map.

This is awesome, thanks so much @benali! And thanks to those diligently updating clashfinder :)

What's the site looking like, ground-wise? And the weather for that matter? Sorting out my packing list and wondering whether sandals are worth bringing at all, even for around the campsite, or if trainers and wellies will be all I need really. I'm leaning towards the latter.

Think I asked this before, but not sure if anyone answered - whereabouts on the map do the coaches drop off?

Really looking forward to it now (I would be even more than I am, but the weekend has seen me struck down with a grotty cold, which I'm desperately trying to kick before Thursday morning... typical!)

See where the path goes over the river in the top left hand corner? Coaches (and posh camping) is just over the other side

Awesome, thanks for the speedy response!  So then do you just join the queue with the people from the Orange car park for wristbanding?

Those grey clouds have been hanging around since we've been here but haven't produced any rain yet.

Having driven up from the south coast of England it's nice to see some lush green grass for once.

I'm not 100% where it is, but now that the camping has expanded, I think it'd be physically impossible for coach travellers to get wristbanded in the same place as Orange carparkers. I'm imagining there's got to be dedicated coach/posh wristbands on the other side of the bridge, but that's a guess.

No, you'll get your wristband before you cross the bridge over the Usk.  It's much easier (as in less of a walk) than Orange car park.  Or at least that's how it was last year.

Awesome, thanks! And thanks @benali for the pic - clouds look ominous but the grass is definitely something I've not seen for some time...
