Positiv Pretty location by river.

Negativ There was no one there managing the site despite the fact that there had been significant damage to the ground caused by rain and a significant number of cars having driven over the ground. Lines had been marked designating ‘safe’ areas but this meant that tents were very crowded with people driving cars sometimes unsafely due to the conditions very close to tents. This was also happening at night which was concerning while in a tent with young children. There was loud dance music playing all day and until late at night with open drug taking. Had anyone been looking after the site they could have been at least encouraged to be more discreet about it!

Those of us with land rovers ended up having to tow stranded cars out of the field. Had any management been in place, a designated area for cars could have been fenced off, and cars not allowed in the area for tents, which would have significantly reduced the hazards. As there were zero facilities purportedly to “preserve the tranquility” it would have been more cost effective to find a random field and fly camp, and there might have been less marijuana and house music.
