Day one is always a strange one, changing gear from sleepy Isle of Wight chilled out holiday to 60,000 people in a field is a bit if a leap.
We parked opposite the entrance (yay!) and Bry lugged the chairs down to our usual spot. The line up was good, shouty night tonight. Basement Jaxx were playing with rhythm as usual, really great set. Then Pendilum and Prodigy, lots if keyboards, bass and shouting.
There was a mass of confused families leaving during the last two acts, along with too much dad-dancing. I was also a rad worried about the numbers of infants with no ear defenders, surely down the front at Prodigy isn’t a good plan fir your new born?
There was a beautiful red moon peeking out from behind the clouds on the way back, we drive up to the top of Culver Down and took some pictures. We always forget to pack the tripod, doh!
As we drew up to the caravan our headlight shone on a rabbit, casting a shadow, good to know that deformed-rabbit is the default setting for real-rabbit shadow puppetry too.
