On
Friday morning we made our way to the festival main entrance and were
amazed by the security measures. If I remember correctly there was a double
fence, which it was rumoured that the security dog`s patrolled between
during the night? I also remember the toilets, not a pleasant sight, and
my stomach must have decided there and then to go on stop for the duration
of the festival.Within a few minutes of arriving in the festival site
we bumped into a crowd of our friends, who had arrived at the festival
a few days earlier. |

We didn't stay with them for long, as we wanted to see how close we could get to the stage, and as you can see from the photographs we didn't manage to get too close to the front on the Friday. With regards to the music on the Friday, my main memories were of Taste and Family who were some of my favourite bands at the time. At the end of the Friday concert we made our way back to our little tent on the hill. |
