Everyone who had the app switched on has had one now, all had negative daily LFT or PCR test though.

I was there for 4 days and not had one, neither has my gf who has it running too.

That's weird. Really glad that all the tests were negative though.

Scrap that, both got notification today saying isolate for 4 days, app encounter date saying Sunday 20th!

But have taken two LFTs since then, on Tuesday and today.. both of us negative both times.

I and my wife have had an NHS message today telling us to self-isolate for 3 days

Absolute bloody shambles that app! I only went on to check on Thursday because you guys were on about it and it was telling me to self-isolate...didn't get a notification or message. Utter crap!

I feel like me are massively in the majority by not getting one.

Did you go to any of the late night areas?

We spent a bit of time in the Canopy on Fri and Sat, but we mostly sat on the benches outside the pub tents.

Who we fancy for next year? If it goes to 10k capacity should get some decent sized acts.

I think that my phone was charged all weekend. Anyway it looks like I'm not going to get one. We did do a test a few days after we got back and all was clear!

[Flaminglippy]

Just booked for next year! 

[ceetee]

I was just looking at that, their site has gone down though..

Does anyone have a rough idea of how much the bell tents/glamping was? 

Fancy it next year, but we have Glastonbury the following week and then two camping trips the week after that. Not sure I can camp 4 weekends in a row!

 

thanks

I have a vague memory of the middle of the road Bell Tent (the one with bedding) being about £350 ish when we looked.

Thanks. That’s not too bad at all.

So we've just bit the bullet and booked for next year. I really did enjoy it. Just hope that it has has the same vibe!

I think it will be much bigger...they are aiming at 10k capacity which will be more than double this year (not sure though if that increase will be next year or gradual over a few years). On the plus side will mean more stages and bigger acts. Hopefully a few more of the food stalls will appear and they will let us take pur own booze in again to keep the bar queues down. 

Funnily enough going to a festival on the same site this weekend (Camper Calling) which I believe has the same kind of capacity so I'll pop sommat on after about what kind of an impact it has on the site. You can camp next to your car at Camper Calling so if Bigfoot go down that route as well it would be perfect.

How was Camper Calling? Different layout to Bigfoot?

Sadly we caught Covid at Beautiful Days the weekend before so couldn't go! Had a mate who went and said it was really good 

Have to say the organisers were brilliant though. I emailed them to say we couldnt go and asked if they had a waiting list for tickets as didnt want them to go to waste...they asked me to send back the wristbands and a copy of a positive test result, day after I did that had an email saying they had rolled our tickets over to 2022. They didn't have to do that...exceptional service.

I think that my previous pot on this has been lost, but apparently the line-up is coming in Jan. Quite curious as to who they will go for (with a bigger crowd and budget).

Yeah...very hard to call! To be fair for me the bands I enjoyed the most was on the Signature Brew stage, they had some great stuff on. 

Hope the atmosphere stays the same...but the weather doesn't.
