till we set off for the Big Chill Festival and today was spent getting ready for it, yep got to practice putting up the new tent we bought from Decathlon, its a pretty neat tent as well, takes a lot less time to put up and you can stand upright in it, which may not seem exciting, but believe me spending 4 days camping having to constantly be bent over when you in the tent so your head doesnt keep hitting the roof is a bonus  believe me.

Also cleaned out under the stairs and dug out some of the camping gear we thought we’d lost, so far I’ve found about 5 torch’s, 4 hats, some camping gas stove and a picnic set, also found some flip-flops I forgot I had.

Really looking forward to this years BCF as it’ll be a nice break before we head to Cornwall, plus theres a lot of bands playing I’d like to see and just as many that I’ve never heard of, but I’m guessing I’ll like them, there’s never been a band I haven’t really liked play there yet.

All being well we head down Thursday about 2pm, stopping off in Bristol first to see Paul and pick up some camping gear he’s lending us and then heading back up the motorway to Eastnor, should arrive there sometime after 6pm I’m guessing, should give us plenty of time to get the tent up, freshen up and get over to the forum meet up in the Body and Soul area.   Determined this year to meet up with a few more Forumites, hoping Dave and Newshippers will be there, be nice to see them both again.

Anyway got a few more things to get ready before Thursday, so I better go get them done . . .  in the meantime heres some photos from the last few BCF’s we’ve been to
