Its not the same without the rain!!

Over 700 acts, over 80 stages. 177,000 people over 3 days of entertainment. We stayed 5 nights. 300 tonnes of recyclable waste and 110 tonnes of other waste removed from the site. Tickets sold out in 1 hour and 45 minutes. We got ours in the second round thanks to Bec and Shaun sitting on the phone in London. I dont know how much rain. Between 3-10 centimetres of mud in varying consistencies on 900 acres of cattle grazing land in Pilton, England. 2 pairs of gumboots and 5 pairs of socks. 1 warm apple cider and disgustingly delicious Yorkshire Pudding. A stack of strangers out to have a good time.
The Killers, Mika, Lily Allen, The Who, Pete Doherty, The Cat Empire, Arcade Fire, James Morrison, Shirley Bassey, The View, The Fratellis, Amy Winehouse, The Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, Chemical Brothers, Paolo Ntini and hundreds of others that Ive never heard of.

Heres the pics- check out the fun we had!!

In the beginning
We travelled way too heavy. But the wellies are hot!

Tent City
We couldnt get over the hundreds upon hundreds of tents.

Thursday night in Croissant Neuf
Waiting to see a band called Egg play (we didnt wait long)

There were decorations and displays everywhere
More than you could ever have time to explore

The gang on the grass
On the Friday when there still was grass!

Chilling in my Rainbow Wellies
They were broken at this stage and giving me a very muddy foot but i was still smiling- the best thing to do to deal with the weather was dance around like a lunatic in it!! Once your saturated what difference does it make!

We had a grand old time
Dancing to the Googol Warhols or something like that

A different type of entertainment
These guys were amazing, jumping through hoops of fire and all sorts

Lily Allen was fun
Heaps better that i expected

They provided you with a cone to use as a... you know
I didnt give it a bash
