Endorse it in Dorset Festival 2008 (with ADDED POLL!)

[beesonthewhatnow]

The solution is not to get so wasted I take embarrassing photo's of you

Or to get so wasted that you no longer care

 

[wiskey]

the ugly munted thread would prefer that option certainly

 

[Termite Man]

yeah but you cant spend the whole time in your tent!

Damn !!!

 

[Voley]

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, too.

It's one of the main reasons I'm going. It's been about three years since I saw some of you and, God, five years since my last Glastonbury or something.

I've seen Han and Blue Nun in the meantime but that's about it. It'll be nice to get pissed in a field with some people I've not seen in ages.

 

[wiskey]

Yeah it is the double end which means you can get a through breeze and cool it down. Single ended ones can get a bit stifling.

We currently have one of these but after 3 years of 15 festivals and other camping trips various bits are failing (mainly the bag which is completely destroyed and is a real pain)

Eurohike Solway:

and have upgraded to Vango Beta 450:

Mainly because I really like the design, it goes up as one so no faffing, porch is great, nice and cool as opens both sides and, most importantly, it doesnt take up a huge amount of space (I hope - havent actually seen one up)

I just measured the site on google earth. The camping, Vans, Arena and Backstage would comfortably fit in Penards.

that looks like the tent me and shells have got although ours isn't a vango . It's the same colour as well !

 

[Kanda]

Jefe.. Will Palais Kanda be too big? Should I use the pop up??

and do you like it?

I've just done some measurements and this tent is HUGE! but then we need more space anyway. apparently you can store a bike in the porch!!!

(I think I may have inadvertantly bought a marquee )

this is the tent we got

it's a 3 person and there is no way a bike could fit in the porch so they aren't the same then !

 

[foo]

fuck me. that festie looks a bit dead.

 

[Voley]

fuck me. that festie looks a bit dead.

At least it's sunny.

 

[Termite Man]

fuck me. that festie looks a bit dead.

[dodgepot]

is anyone taking huge flags to walk around with and get in everyone's way with and piss everyone off with?

 

[Biddlybee]

(I think I may have inadvertantly bought a marquee )

Nah it's a 4 berth, sounds about the same size as ours

 

[dodgepot]

??

that's tanky's ideal tent, where she would like to spend the whole festival having cups of tea and kittens and spliffs bought to her and bands come along and perform especially for her.

 

[Termite Man]

Why would anyone do that

 

[wiskey]

yeah but, your definition of a bike fitting and their sales pitch is a bit different.

We've upgraded from a 3 person which fit us + bags to a 4 person.

We tend to gather extras, or boots or stuff because a few of the people we reg camp with dont have porches so use ours for storage.

and before Derv starts I'm not prepared to find out if a bike fits this weekend either!

 

[Termite Man]

??

is that the pop up then ?

 

[wiskey]

I have a flag which goes up at my camp.

It has a troll on it.

but i dont carry it around. thats just odd.

 

[dodgepot]

Why would anyone do that

well i don't know but i see people on the telly do it. often it's a welsh flag

The porch is a nice size on thisa one so a 4 person should be even better . It will be enough to store our stuff anyway we aren't cramped in the bedroom ( do tents have bedrooms ? )

 

[Kanda]

the pop up is pretty small but my normal one has quite a big footprint (4 man + Porch/Lounge area). Was a right pain squeezing it in at Glasto.

oh good

thought i was going to look a bit silly then

 

[Termite Man]

probably welsh people who are proud to be welsh doing that then .

Want...

It has about 6 bedrooms
