Camp GT 2008

[PaulX]

I guess it's time to start a camp thread. Hmmm, Graham Norton. No, not that kind of camp. The "where are we gonna camp at Glade" sort of camp.

Our location last time was pretty good really - perfect view of the main stage, right in the middle of the action.

But the big problem then - and it'll be the same this year - is that so many people arrive first thing now that it's a major nightmare holding space for people. So either people need to be very organised - or we get a team of 'bouncers' to get there first and guard 'our' area.

Anyway, suggestions, anecdotes, advice... bring it on!!!

think i was near yous!!! near the big blow up castle we camped beside good spot, we didnt get there until 5pm so im glad of gettin the spot we did.

you cant save spots for campin, if ya get there first take it.

your locatiom last year was horrible! downstream of the toilets and in the crap bit with no shade.

this year i shall be gewtting there mega early and setting up camp under a tree of some sorts

not near toilets and under shade for protection from sun/annoying sound of rain dropping on your tent all night

We usually camp up on the hill behind ID Spiral, there was plenty of room last year until about 6pm (mainly cos it's a long bloody walk to get there) and the view down the valley was incredible when it was all going off on Saturday night. Nice and fairly quiet, and were it not for all the mud, it would have been a pleasant walk down to the arenas. Also you're near to bed if you love having a nice chai latte at 4am!

CampGT had a very good spot though I reckon. Problem with bogs and taps is you're never certain which way is downstream until they flood

I'm bringing some white camo netting and a space blanket which will surely aid the shade problem.

Yeah we camped around about there too. I'm thinking of camping up on the hill near idspiral this year for a change though.

Last year one of our tents got a load of shit stolen from it too which was a shame. What was the crime like further down the site as a few people around where we were camped got things stolen too

Cheers.

Ye who campeth near ID spiral, beware!
Never shall ye sleep, for the sub bass shaketh thy tent all night and day for four score and ten hours.

Are you sure it wasn't my infamous snoring?

I camped up by the ID Spiral which was perfect in my opinion... It was close to toilets, a water point and when I needed sleep the nice chilled tunes from ID spiral helped
