Our camp

We chose to camp near the Chill Out stage, on flat ground. At Glastonbury I always pitch on a slope (in the Dragon field near the Stone Circle, if you're interested) but we didn't expect there to be a sudden deluge so assumed we'd be all right pitching on flat ground. In hindsight, probably not the best of moves, although there again the rain was short-lived and it wasn't long before the ground had firmed up again.

In the five days, we only actually slept for two nights (too many DJs, too little time) so it didn't really matter. By the time we were ready to sleep, we'd be knackered and could sleep anywhere. We were beside a little brook from which frogs croaked all night (somehow I don't think they were real frogs...) ;-)

With the rain beginning to fall on that first Sunday evening, we realised that we had better start enjoying the festival. Fortunately, there were plenty of signs telling us where to go, where to find the market, where to find the toilets (not that they needed a sign, you could just follow your nose and you'd find them).

Some signs were clearer than others....
