Saw Sugar Mama at Bentworth Blues last year. Brilliant up and coming young band. Think they will go far.

Looks like a great Family festival. Emailed and asked if Campervans allowed and they said Yes and no extra cost :)

Will have to look out for it next year as we're busy that weekend :( Looks good though :)

I'll be at Download - Silver Bongo, with a pink Download Dog on the bonnet.

Was very tempted by the Cambridge one too - Waterboys & Levellers makes for a great lineup - but I can't get the time off work :(

We go to Fairport Conventions Cropredy every year (10+ years) but this year will be the first with the Bongo.

Would love to do others but the prices are just getting silly. Well that and lack of holiday!

aw, i should have been more energetic at download and gone exploring. we were the purple/grey bongo right beside the arena entrance as you walked down the big hill.
:)

loved it. my first ever campervan experience and i would never ever ever go back to normal camping. it was bliss not having to carry everything for miles and miles. only thing of note is that "helping" my dad with the awning (which involved me holding a pole whilst he did all the work) does not make me able to pitch the awning by myself.

hope you guys all had a great time as well.
