Advantages: Its a great laugh, rain or shine

Disadvantages: prices of drinks, food and the stentch of toilets....

One word.....A.M.A.Z.I.N.G....im by no means a big fan of camping and a weekend without my GHD's and my bed takes alot to lurr me away...but ive been to V the past two years and i'd go for two weeks if it went on that long.

The atmosphere cannot be beaten any where and ive been to alot of music concerts! everyone is really friendly and helpful. like this year (2009) for example...being girls we brought the wrong gas clinder so the guys in a tent near by ...cooked us bacon sandwitches ever morning.lol. you will never hear of any violence. This year i was at Weston park to see the 'last ever' oasis performance!

What is also great is that its showcases many unheard of acts that make it big (the ting tings were in the strongbow tent 3yrs ago....) its the place to find all the top artists this year, lily allen, lady gaga, oasis, razorlight....

Just the whole weekend is brilliant....

a few tips for you....
in terms of alcohol...take a sledge and rope all your alcohol (crates are best) take a proper camping (travelling) backpack, one that offers alot of support for your back....if you can afford it take a rubbish tent that you dont mind leaving there (all these get collected at the end and given to charity) take plenty of food as its quite pricy in the arena. also take suncream/rain jackets as the weather is really unpredicatbale. just enjoy yourself! also get tuesday off work....it takes at least a day to recover!

of course like most things there is a down side... namely being the state of the toilets by saturday afyternoon....you have two options...get so drunk you have lost your sense of smell or take a potty...as stupid as that sounds it was a god send!

also money....was £3.50 for a pint this year...up from £3.10 two years ago...this is only gonna increase!

Summary: a weekend not to be missed
