Party Vibe

somethin negative…..alright then, i thought the prices of things were rediculous and i think it needs to be advertised as less of a festival then that way people would be less dissapointed when they got there, the reason im generally not bein negative is cause im not a negative person n i just dont like to look at things like that

btw, there were police there cause i saw them on 2 occasions

just read the posts about shefstock and am shocked about the lack of facilities (toilets, clean water, first aid..) am glad I didnt go!

thank fuck no one needed an ambulance or first aid!

Also no techno? THREE chillout tents??

I think next year the organisers seriously need to sort it out :you_crazy

heres a little map i made.

1.weird music/chill out, never got to near this as it looked pretty quiet.

2.camoflauge disco (house tent) great vibe going on here.

3.main tent, only seen band in here (would of thought this be the hardcore tent when bands not playing)

4.geo dome ‘dread cafe’ busy and nice happy faces with some nice funky SKA going on when i was in there.

5.glo stick stall,flashing lights, and a nice uv light to make everything look expensive.

6.reggae tent. phat sound system, lovely lovely bassline

7.mad hatters. hard house at its finest.

8. caravan cafe. proper nice chaps, charlie n co. met some old faces there too.

most vehicles were parked on the track on the right of the photo but was pretty much a squeeze to get down and those that didnt park on the track down the hill to the party were parked on the track facing the party and the field opposite. tents were pitched throughout the site as well as in close proximity to the event tents.

i kno i have something planned 1st of september and im pretty sure its what ur on about….whats happenin?

Nice to see people getting along.:bounce_fl

Foo, on the map, I think you have put the tents in the part of the site where most of the camping was. (On the right as you go down the hill.) Lay out etc spot on though.
D.

We got there Saturday afto and we had a wicked time. I’d booked tix to collect on the gate but they had lost the list, still they were friendly and relaxed and took my word for it. I was too surprised by lack of toilets mindyou.

However we’d gone equipped for shefstock as basically a slightly-more-organised free party (taken plenty of water+snacks), so when it turned out to be less-than-organised we weren’t too badly off – apart from lack of dry clothing but that was wholly my fault and not shefstock’s !! Saw a single policeman come and go away again, presumably just checking things out since it was (we hope) still licenced at the new site. I noticed the admin tent so knew where to go if there were problems.

Yeah big up the Preston Mad Hatters who really saved the show with their volume and energy through the night. They turned out a variety of banging hard stuff – acid trance, psytrance, acid hard house, plus other bits apparently at random ! A random bloke in there staggered up to me at one point going “ooooo, it’s so fast” ! We camped where we’d been told on the gate, on the bottom field overlooking the rigs. I think funkyfoo’s picture is of the top field where many other people parked/camped, we tried there but there were no marshals and the parking was getting chaotic in the long wet rutted grass.

I’m glad we chose the bottom field cos by some freak of acoustics we could hear PMH as if the stacks were right next to our tent, so got a good earful. We could also hear quality housy and prog stuff from the Camouflage Disco, plus the world/chill/jazz tent and the dub-reggae one, all mixing it together. Wicked!

For anyone else who was there, here’s a few piccies:
