What was the best Glade year of all? (re-vote)

[Beatmonkey]

Only a lunatic wouldn't go again, best place in th world, I rekon a whole weekend of bangface might rival it this thime though.

[buzzingtalk]

yeah i got the beginnings of trench foot but i was trekking through jungle for 6 weeks before glade in asia, so my feet were fucked already by the time i got to glade. didnt help thati walked around bafefoot till saturday. only then did it get so grim that i investd in a good pair of wellys and some socks and had the pleasure of dry feet. i got quite attatched to my wellies too

[youllneverbe]

Having missed the first 2 years, I couldn't really vote. But I have to say that although 2006 was gloriously sunny and my first Glade..... the music was actually better this year. Fuck the mud, that just added to the endless jokes. Music is what I go to festivals for.

2006 was amazing because of the weather and the atmosphere was amazing. 2007 was amazing for me because i knew more people and met some of he people off Gladtalk. The weather didnt stop us having a wicked time, but i admit it did get tiring with the lack of sitting space due to mud mud mud!!!!

heheh im one of the 7 people that think 2004 was the best. It really was a unique experience where I discovered I could chew gum really fast without realising what a tit I looked like after 3 little ones (that was a first as I was quite new to it all), I discovered break beat and never moved from that tent, I discovered I really loved camping and music and people andI havent looked back! So, thanks to Glade

BEST YEAR OF ALL IS GONNA BE 2008 AMIRITE? /caps

[scranner]

2005 was my favourite

2006 was great

2007 i hated it - the weather really ruined the festival for me. i didnt have that good of a time.

after last years shit one i feel this one will be a goodun


see you all there

[asmooth]

'04 for me.

It really felt like we were all in on the greatest secret of the summer!!

I enjoyed '05, but didn't enjoy '06 as much so gave it a miss last year.

Going again this year and i'm hoping to recapture the spirit of my first Glade encounters.

Pretty much sums it up for me too,

04 Pukka, camped about 20 meters from the Breaks tent on the slope, it was proper cool, liquid and breaks ruled that year, sweet waether.
05 Great, camped further out seemed to have more stuff to carry, main and breaks ruled, sweet weather, saw a few chavs.
06 Not Great, Loads of chavs, pitched up next to some right jam rolls, weather blinding (maybe a little too hot!!!), had some other problems, again main and breaks
07 Gave it a miss mainly cos of 06.
08 Hoipefully gonna rock

Aye it did that, but in 05 I felt like I'd let my best mates in on the secret and that was top, then again in 06 we let some other people in on the secret and that was ok too.

In 07 we brought far too many people with us.

Secrecy is the key

[ouzodave]

They have all been great,04 because it was like a private party, 05 on the last night mushies were legal and giving em away before midnight before they became illegal ,06 the great weather,07 the music was top but the weather was awfull but it was a change. If it pisses it down this year i would be fookin miffed though. That rain we had last year though it was 100 year event thing though,was it not?

[skipz]

This is a hard one… I missed it last year due to bad diary management but after hearing all about it wasn’t as gutted as I could be! I’d have to say ’06 by the skin of it’s teeth as our camp had grown and grown over the years and there were so many people there in our Scottish camp!

But ’04 was great for it’s newness and WOW factor and ’05 the music just got so mental it was great. Bring on ’08!!

sssshhhhhhhhh. you are tempting fate

[Dave Skywalker]

Difficult one this, it's pretty much a tie between 2005 and 2006. In 2005 it was brand new for me, never experienced anything like it, plus the mushies were legal and the weather was ace.

In 2006 weather was amazing too, had more people with us which was wicked, plus it was the "Bang Face" Glade which was unbelievably wicked, BUT seeing people being abused by the security (who were being arseholes) and the knowledge of an increase in thefts etc put an edge on things.

[PaulX]

the knowledge of an increase in thefts etc put an edge on things.

There wasn't an "increase in thefts", actually. That's just one of those myths that got circulated. Police figures submitted to the 2007 hearing showed thefts were down in 2006 from the year before.

Seconded, 2005 was my first festie too which made it even more special. In 2006 we had more friends with us which was ace and converted most of them into Glade 'lovers'
Last year was completely different for the obvious reason and also I was on a restricted diet as I was signed up on a drug trial, so I think of it as a unique experience.
This year is going to be the best, I can feel it, I've already got my wings and hair sorted, just a few more weeks to go

[admin]

Bumping this old poll from last year, with 2008 added. Unfortunately the act of adding 2008 has wiped the poll, so you all get to vote again.

[shakyjane]

hmmmm, i dont know - is this poll about if it was the best glade for quality or my personal experiences?

I loved this year the best - but not because of lineup/sound

[PaulX]

hmmmm, i dont know - is this poll about if it was the best glade for quality or my personal experiences

Whatever you want it to be.

[shakyjane]

well i've put 2008 - for me it was the people, and having only 1 down point, but that down point wasnt that bad at all

[soundclash]

Dont know if i can put a vote on any of these due to the fact that every year has a element in it that beats the last BUT also something that fails it lol. Always the optimist
Thats what keeps me coming back, the fear of missing the perfect festival lol. Heres my pros and cons....

2004 Just amazing, couldve been warmer lol
2005 More people, better weather, lots of theft (year of the pikeys)
2006 Kevin Saunderson!!, Too Hot and bad Security
2007 The spirit,the laughs, the mud
2008 The Music, people, vibe and acts, the s**t sound when it mattered

so erm 2004 or 2008 i reckon.....but ....arghhh cant do it!!!

[xkejjer]

every glade i go to seems to be better in the sense that i keep having even more fun than the previous glade.. this was my third after 2005 and 2006, which were blindingly fantastic, but this seemed to be even more blindly fantastic.. great vibe, great everything, to top it all we had a group of great english people camping next to us which made the experience even nicer

i hope glade 2009 will be done
