  I'm going to have to find a magnifying glass - I'm sure it must be tucked away somewhere... maybe under a table in one of the Womad shops - 3 of them this year - I think one may be the hobnob stage in disguise. There were lovely people in the info tent last year - hope they are there again this year too. Maybe they are the guardians of the hobnobs....

  Looks like they've moved the Saddlespan over to the other side of the arena. Does memory serve me correctly in this? Hopefully, this move and some clever scheduling will deal with the sound-bleed issues. Otherwise it seems pretty similar in the arena. The Radio 3 stage seems to be in the same place though. Bad news for those not a fan of trees.

  I think I'm right in saying that if you park in Purple car park you have a hill to walk up to the campsite. Red parking makes for an easier lug-in of all your gear.

  Any other observations?

  Looks like the main stage has been swivelled round though, so facing Saddlespan...

  Us lucky public transport types have a hill to walk up in any case, complete with all our wordly belongings. Might have to buy some lighter biscuits ;-)

  Stone, we must ask each and every member of staff "are you the guardian of the hobnobs?" ;-)

  Nigenet, you're on! (stone slopes away chuckling in the knowledge that Nigenet will be doing this)

  Sindig0, the Saddlespan has shifted to where the Big Red and Siam tents were last year, by the looks of it, and the Big Red and Siam have been flung to the opposite sides of the Arena. A quick flick through the timetables, I think the sound conflicts we had last year have been carefully avoided - it is looking good. I trust you will be wearing your Party Ring necklace and riding a pony?

  Yes, Siam's sort of where Saddlespan was, Saddlespan's where Big Red was, but Big Red, which was the loudest pounding one last year, is moved over nearest the BBC stage which causes me a bit of worry about sound spill - must check that timetable! Also I see that Sing Out magazine from the USA has a tent near the BBC, I wonder if that's in place of fRoots?
