Another reason why you need a bear proof tent.

I cant stand him!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Does anybody here have a tent with blow up poles?

Eh?

 

[han]

cool - i have plenty enough for sharing!

oh fabbo. glowsticks rule ok!

little tiny inch long ones that i'm not sure what i can do with but are very small and were cheap so i had to get them too.

hair decorations? earrings? erm....glow in the dark bogies?

to be honest I read that once someone has got into your tent anything you do to them is nice and legal . If thats the case I'd welcome mr grills trying to break into my tent

But don't they have squatters' rights?

glow in the dark bogies?

I'm scared.

 

[wiskey]

Eh?

I've been trying to find someone who has one to see how well they work, it just occurred to me that my tent is dying and EDID might be a good place to go window shopping for a new one as so many of you are going.

We found one at womad but the occupant was never home so we couldnt ask them how it worked.

 

[Termite Man]

Nope . Not in tents and especially if it's bear grills . I'd set Ray Mears on him , he'd soon learn that there is only one TV survival person and thats the secret mars bar muncher !

all of the above. honestly, they were £3 for 100! including postage! i had to have them...

(i think they're meant to be for night fishing, but that's far too dull).

Fuckin A.

talking of blow-up things.....
I want a blow up church!

nightfishing were nightfishing
Were whats happening
nightfishing were nightfishing
Were an ice machine
We see people brand new people
Theyre something to see
When were nightfishing
Bright-white fishing
Oh isnt it wild?

nightfishing were nightfishing
Were walking through town
nightfishing were nightfishing
We walk like a ghost
We learn dances brand new dances
Like the nuclear bomb
When were nightfishing
Bright white fishing
Oh isnt it wild..

I've got a new big tent and a new big air matress, but other than that am being pretty sensible with what I'm bringing.

big tent might be bad - seriously, last year people ended up only pitching half their tent or just squatting other peoples because there wasnt room.

This is one of the reasons why I intend to be there nice and early

 

[Flounder]

but thats the 2006 map according to the website.

I have asked a few times if there's more camping space but I havent had an answer yet

you have now

This map is out of date now. Things have moved around a little - we've newlareas etc. No more or surprise will be spoilt!!

 

[wiskey]

you have now

Fankyoo

Well yeah . . . hence my investigations.

You'll know one when you see it, the poles tubes go right to the floor rather having a pole bit poking out the bottom.

I had that wibble last week, I just got put off.

You dont have to talk to everyone when you are there though just ignore them.

We went for a lovely walk in the cuntreeside last year.

Stop reading it then.

It'll be useless in a high wind, and then someone will walk past holding a cigarette.

My new tent's not really that massive either, just a bit more spacious than my little Tesco one. I think I'll still risk bringing it and hoping for the best.
