Chrismpw's letters from a festival

Loving this thread - has proper made me laugh. Chris, please continue with the griping.

I've never been to a festival of any sort that required staying in a tent. I wish I had done it when I was younger, I don't think I|'d appreciate it now. I suppose I could try glamping but that seems to defeat the object.

defo try glamping... preferably with a hot tub
 
Right so here I am at Cornbury festival. Very posh, in the rolling Oxfordshire countryside.

As before I've been erecting scaffold poles to take flags, but this time in steaming heat and full sun. The only hat I have with me to protect my glistening smooth scalp, an oversight, is a felt fez.

After a few hours work I sit in the shade by my transit and decide to enjoy a hard earned beer. "Drink it slowly chismpw, for the weather is hot and you will lose your head" I tell myself. "Besides you have allowed yourself only 2 beers per evening - enjoy it"

2 minutes later I distractedly put my beer down on the floor of the campervan, by my chair. It topples and spills the beer all over the step, flows into the gully above the sills then drips into and fills both pairs of shoes I have with me for the weekend that were cooling off beneath.

For absolutely c $@K f#$king boll*$ing sake!

2 beers a night ?

Festival?

behave
 

I’m at Sziget festival for 7 nights in Budapest in a few weeks and I just bottled it and paid the lions share of a grand for a hotel for the week lol

18 year old me would be so disappointed in me, the idea of camping for a week on an island was starting to really bother me, though.

I’m with you on that one mate.

Camping for me stopped the moment I could afford a hotel / b&b

I still love camping. Sadly I have developed a very low tolerance of modern wobbly pole tents. Hate the very thought of putting them up.

Give me old fashioned canvass and a ridge pole and and I could have an erection within minutes.

I’ve always been properly pro camping but Download was an absolute slog this year and I have a pretty decent tent too

I did a hotel for Leeds last year because I had the lad with me and it was an absolute treat to be fair, but just my luck the fire alarm went off at 3am lol
