[glow=red,2,300] Just spent the weekend 15 miles away on Stanhope fell in the North Pennines ... boy was it fookin freezin 
We went up on the Friday lunch time after the funeral of a good friends wife ... so not the best start to a festival ! ... made base camp without Gay Neil this time ... he is nasty neil at the mo ... bloody women eh ? .... and got the tents etc set up before the rain started ... we had a fire going and lots of beer and drugs galore  .. then headed over to the festival site ... saw a band called The Velvet Dukes who were canny and the brilliant ZUBZUB ... they are geetar, flute, mandolin and a guy on the decks ... great dancey stuff.
Wondered back to base camp about 4am to join in with fellow festies talkin bollox ... by this time it was pishin down ...over night we had high winds, rain and hail and it was fookin freezin ...
went back to the City for more supplies on the Saturday lunchtime, caught the ENGLAND match with a couple o scoops before heading back to oblivion .... We did it all again .. and then it pished down again .. so 8 of us got a taxi back to Crook in the early hours ... a nice safe warm dry bed was calling ....yum yum ..
A great weekend, even a hoot on Sunday back up there packing up ... until the next one .. Elfin wood 2 .. late June ... Superstar DJ ... here we go !
I think from a My Space message BR was there ... ?[/glow] |

That said, its good to see you back and good to hear that you can spend two nights in a tent without complaining...oh wait, you did complain... |

The Bad Apples were a hoot .. Rock a billy punkish ..... and very good ... Now then .... Subsource were brilliant ... like Linkin Park Meets The Prodigy meets The Streets .. great tunes and a great live band ... Dance + Rock = Subsource .. Steve Hillage in System 7 were awesome ... he is such a pretentious auld Hippy who moaned about the lights not being right for 10 mins ... but when him and a rather nice looking sidekick started .. it was Psy Trance at its best .... great mixing with hippy guitar in ..... Really good ... then marquee after marquee pumping out tunes till the morning and beyond .... and a chill out tent selling rather naughty cake |

For anyone who's remotley interested ...
the facebook group has reached 6300 people who think this is outrageous and a total waste of public time and money ... if its not thrown out of court on Friday it WILL go all the way to Crown Court and in national press and media ...
Thimblebrry festival is a great small indie festy and if the powers that be win it means all land owners who organise Festivals can be done for the same (none ) offence ...

.. then headed over to the festival site ... saw a band called The Velvet Dukes who were canny and the brilliant ZUBZUB ... they are geetar, flute, mandolin and a guy on the decks ... great dancey stuff.
