latitude

If you are going away somewhere and don't mind meeting up with other Bongo owners or if you've been somewhere & want to tell us about it & stick up your photos, put the details here.

Not sure, usually do V fest (plus a couple other smaller fests) but gone off V a bit (and never been in bongo, just normal camping). Quite fancied latitude, last year they had a good line up!

I think we'll hold out until we see the line up.. :) What other small fests do you do? We're definitely doing Wychwood :)

I did 2000Trees last year, which I enjoyed, more as a weekend away with a bit of music rather than a festival
I wanted to do Kendal Calling but it clashed with something else (can't remember now), but might try and factor that in next year depending on line up
Also fancied Green Man, and Beautiful Days, and and and :lol:

I'm thinking of Latitude this year, depending on what their stewarding shifts are like and if they have spaces ... I will definitely be at Wychwood in June and End of the Road in September ... and maybe Green Man or Beautiiful Days (sadly they clash, been to both, would like to go to both again) ... and hopefully another one or two in between ...

I'm a newbie, we got our Bongo back in the Autumn, but it's taken me till now to get online! I did End of the Road by Bongo last year, my first Bongo-ing festival, and theres no going back to my tent now ... just wish I had had it for Green Man last year, as the rain was of biblical proportions!

Are there many festival goers in BongoFuryLand? ..

I'm planning to go to Southwell Folk Festival near Nottingham. 9-12 June. Did Cropredy last year and hoping to go again this year in August.

Cropready as well. This is always a Bongo convention. You can spend a lot of time wandering round a field finding yet again another wrong green Bongo. :lol:

I go for small local festivals usually. Last year, Priddy Folk Festival. up in the Mendips, just after Glastonbury, Tolpuddle, Wickham and Purbeck to finish in September. The original reason I bought the Bongo was to spend far less time in a tent in the mud. :roll: :roll: It is a very smug feeling being tucked up warm and comfy in the Bongo when all around tents are being blown away =D> =D>

We went to Glastonbury, Cropredy and Solfest last year - had been to all 3 before but last year was the first time in the Bongo which is a fabulous festival vehicle (especially the 4WD at the end of a festival if it's been muddy!)

We've not managed to get Glastonbury tickets for this year :( but will have another go in the resale.
Will likely be at Cropredy again (have been too many times to count, my first time was back in 1993!) and the niece and nephew want to come again despite last year's incessant rain and the vomiting incident...
And will no doubt be back at Solfest, which is a cracking little festival just up the road from us in West Cumbria - really friendly and a bit quirky with some good acts for its size!
