	...let me show you why. You get to watch other people arrive... You get to meet people in the dark... You get to relive those nightmares you had as a child... You get some big-ass bonfires... You get to chill under a gazebo all evening... Then you get hit with the cold light of day... And if this doesn't explain it, nothing will... the rest of my campsite photos

Neither of those fires were the fire I was sitting by Ian! Those two were at the two sides, our fire was in the middle... Liked your car Gem, couldn't catch up with you lol. Better luck for Tim who accosted me in the A52 tent just after I took the "busy at midnight" pic...

	Have to say guys, I probably didnt make the most of my camping experience as I was so peeved at the metro deciding to be a british car on the way down and having to switch to the modern. Consequently I was no-where near as sociable as I should have been :-( Big thanks however must go to the sheffield lads who adopted me and put up with me tailing them like a bad smell for the weekend (and thanks for all the beer!!!) Still managed to enjoy the show hugely and its given me so much drive to get my act together for next year!

It was way to bumpy.
