Sticklinch / Worthy View Emails

[Hotchilidog]

Not bothered by the lack of bar, I'll have my last drink before heading back or crack one open when I get back to the tent. At WV the bar wasn't particularly great but sitting by the fire with a can after a schlep ups the hill was a pleasant experience .

I doubt they will let you keep your wristband if you go through Gate A. Assume that they will remove it and give you a WV one due to the risk of people giving their normal wristbands to someone to try and enter the site with.

Yes, they swap them out so you can't keep two.

"A dedicated camping shop can be found on the approach to Arcadia from Sticklinch"

Not that far away.

Because the email would explicitly mention one if it did?

It does seem to be quite specific about the service provision.

Yeah, I can dry and straighten my hair but I can’t buy a beer!

It specifically says it doesn’t but in five years of staying at WV I have never bought a drink from the bar there… no need in Sticklinch for either really when the co op and other bars are close enough and there’s no massive HILL. The shop didn’t sell much and nothing you couldn’t get on site

Personally I think if you’re spending time at your tent you’re doing it wrong! Breakfast and gone… have never bought a drink from the bar at WV. I once bought an omelette…

So excited about not having the final hill…

See you put that on the FB group as well.

Ditto. I also like that SL is immediately adjacent to Riggs field so it will hopefully feel more like part of the festival than WV.

[al_coholic]

WV is quite a bit bigger than SL and will have a greater capacity which I assume makes a bar more viable. But there are plenty of bars open late in The Park/Arcadia that are reasonably close.

Yep the morning/night time view from the top of the hill and the wander up/down through the green fields was a delight but I’m ready for a new site

Agree, they used to do fantastic hand poured mojitos

[Wherethewildthingsare]

For anyone staying at WV I would still take the hill over the trudge north up muddy lane to Tangerine 🍊 Fields.

if you are staying there Wednesday night, do go down to the main site before dark as they close Pennard Hill gate when the fire 🔥 is lit for safety and you get stuck up at WV. Great view from up there but more fun on site

Surely that's a chance for an opportunist to bring a few slabs extra in their boot, either to share out of the goodness of their heart or swap for the odd fiver? 😉

The WV PDF lists 6 food venues, a shop and says ‘bars’ plural, open until 3.

Its probably something I wouldn’t have used, or only used once or twice, but I still feel a bit short changed!

It could just be me being a bit thick and miss reading the guidance for Sticklinch but I’m a bit confused. 
 

Are they saying we have to show the bar code at the main Gate A and we get the wristband there or that we get the wrist band at the entrance so Sticklinch?

If you are arriving by any other method than driving then you must enter via gate A first and the make your own way to SL.

If you are driving and have an SL parking pass then you just go straight there.

[Blisterpack]

Just had an email saying my order has been  sent out today. I assume that means my WV car park pass. It also has a number as my reference (WORTHY ****); is that likely to be my tent number?

Cheers,

Yeah, getting the Coach so entering via Gate A, just confused as to whether I have to show the bar code at Gate A or when I get to Sticklinch entrance once I’m inside. Or both?

Yes, I've also messaged WV team to confirm 🙈😂

I can't believe, unless there's a license zoning issue, that they wouldn't have a bar on the site...

The WV version of the PDF specifically mentions the bars, going into great detail about the new one.

Some of us won't have a choice, as we're light sleepers and will be waiting for our partners to arise. Also, I wasn't planning on taking much, if any at all, alcohol with me. May have to rethink that now. Also, does the coop sell alcohol? I was told it doesn't... 😕

Quick question, have any Lead Bookers actually received their Bar Code in an email this morning for Sticklinch or Worthy View. I have received the general info email about Sticklinch but can’t see a bar code and I am the Lead Booker.

Co-op does not sell any booze.
