Hi, has anyone used the charge candy before? How good is it? Will it do a full charge on a phone or not? Thanks 

Ive never used it, but not sure why people would. Just buy something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Portable-PowerCore-Essential-Technology/dp/B0D4MD1GSY/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=2JMZAJ6EG65XI&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.7kEeZSl8iJlZBSSq29NMem4eLK7ceMl-gT5nP2sMrBoaGblIjXbFSbYb4hd237rkUdqLG3WsCV1bFgd0Ylh_TyK1RKZMdHH33VxGgf0gm35eD2PeZnA8A87rpYY0KWiySes8mrCAqa09DDaaxfc_7TPNSTukJgRshIJr0hc5ubLwW4yrcfUtsbwZ0N0fLbiKj4ImMv-9j_XOPle1U2U-V7Ejkwm3XkvgBXe6L-1DOh0.-uWz_cUbvHHvfsNFOOzz0hxLAdfFTA-elg7guX3qXLY&dib_tag=se&keywords=anker+phone+charger&qid=1719303803&sprefix=anker+phone+c%2Caps%2C415&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1 for a few quid more then you have one for life.

yeah, last year at wilderness. It was fine. Took the family to their first festival, booked two to share between the 4 of us.

Long shot here, but anyone got a campervan ticket going? Going with the missus and our 6 year old and were planning to tent it, but we lent it to our mate for Glasto...then realised we won't see em till August. They're in Devon, we're in Liverpool😵😫

Hey bud, I will be there on a stag weekend 👍

[Franky]

I’ve not been before, can you have camp fires? I’m assuming not 🤷‍♂️

Any guesses who the secret special guest on Saturday on the V&V could be? 

The KLF

[gfa]

Anyone potentially got space driving up Friday from London / passing Watford, St Albans M25?

 

we’ve gone from nobody going to full car! will happily pay petrol etc

[spg]

Any possibility of a liftshare from Bristol.

 

 

Apparently National Express think 2 bus loads of people going up should fit onto 1 bus returning!

Just grabbed a couple from TFG.

Anyone have any experience in Zodiac fields? My other half has just done Glasto but is still pretty new to weekend festivals/ camping as a whole.

Thinking it may be worth us both upgrading if it's actually any good in there? Mainly thinking about space and general vibe.

I have. Space is good. Last time the showers got dirty pretty quick but i think its worth the money for the space and ease. Also they use a different car park which has its perks. 

[gfa]

We're an odd number, if anyone has a spare from ticketforgood / needs a spare, PM me so we can split a pair :)

Done it the last few times but not going this year, car park is good, it's a track all the way until the actual field. Probably looking at a 15 minute walk to the campsite from the car, the entrance is shared with the Family Camping. Getting in and out has always been a breeze for me. You'll be camped at most 5 mins from the arena which is nice to have, further back in the Zodiac field likely a bit quieter as it's nearest to the Family Camping.

 

The field itself I've never been kept up at night staying there, you'll likely hear singing from the Silent Disco (in The Nest stage) and the odd bit of bass from the Market Stage but it's not that loud. Other groups have always been pretty considerate in there too, not the loudest!

 

Showers have been hit and miss, bit small but water has usually been ok (they are individual cubicles), at peak times you might queue 45 mins in the morning but by mid-afternoon usually no wait. The loos weren't that great last year, smelt a bit and kept breaking, hopefully Truck do better with them this year (I usually went in a Portaloo which was actually quite well maintained).

 

Getting home is very simple as the road out is pretty much one-way until you're back into Steventon town, the field could potentially get muddy but it's not a huge field anyway

 

Enjoy the fest! Sorta sad I'm not heading this year but at the same time the line-up just wasn't for me at all (though jealous of IDLES, Soft Play and Bob Vylan!)

FYI anyone coming by train - Oxford - Didcot Parkway is closed on the Saturday and Sunday due to railworks.

Does anyone know when tickets will be sent out?  I know its a bit early yet, but I wondered from previous years

[Tomandthebag]

Morning all. Haven't been on this forum for years!

Just signed up last minute to volunteer at Truck on my own. Just wondering if anyone knows on any solo group chats/Facebook groups etc?

Wouldn't mind meeting up with like minded souls rather than solo bopping all weekend 😀

Hello Mate, 

 

There is a group on facebook called solo truckers you can join, 

[Franky]

Whats the grub like there? I only really have Glasto to compare it to which is a foodies delight.

 

TIA

How is it for sneaking cans from campsite to arena? Do they check much or not really - trying to keep on a tight budget!

From my experience in Zodiac I've just had them in my coat pocket and been fine, probably tighter on general camping

 

Probably easier to stash a spirit and buy a couple of soft drinks to mix
