Wixford

Heavy rain this morning and we had booked a kayaking session on the little lake. Luckily it had eased by the time we got in. It was fun but our seats were over-inflated so we had no back support and it was a big strain on the back.
Quite a physical day all round, with 3 trips back and forth from vans to the festival. Watched some karaoke acts with Barry from East Enders and sang along. After a rest back at camp, and some heavy rain we got dressed up and went to watch the fancy dress competition, which we decided to enter once we heard the prize was a family ticket to next year's festival. It was all good fun and we joined in the parade around the site. No prize for us though.
Then we went to watch and joined in with a Bavarian type band from the Midlands, involving lots of audience participation and it was in effect a workout. Some was pretty cheesy but good fun.
After a return to the van for a change of clothes it was off out again to get food (and in David and Helen's case, see the bands). We like the campervan lounge, a good saxaphone player and more acoustic. We had a really really good prawn meal from a place called the Shrimp Shack.
Food is festival prices, most things around £14. A coffee and a flapjack (both were small) cost £8.20.Read more
