Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I'm going to bloodstock with a few mate's. You can't miss us, we have a 12 man tent!!! Helped last year as weather was crap so just had loads of random people coming in to chat.Think this year will take more/better food. Ended up eating about 150 packets of crisps. Washed down with the obligutory 6 bottles of strongbow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 12!?! Haha nice one...Im going with 2 other mates in a 5 or 7 man tent...cant remember. Who you looking forward to seeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Managed to get the tent cheap. My mate had been the year before and said was plenty of room. Felt a bit cheeky when we turned up in a full field with huge tent and only 4 of us.6 of us this time. You can stand up in it so we had 'local' tentists come in to join us for a few beers. Also we good one of those keep it cool boxes which we got off a car boot for £4 becuase it had broken. So we fixed it and hooked it up to a lesuire battery. Cool beer and food all weekend!!Looking forward to Soilwork. Tbh not massively into metal really, more old school rock. Like in flames, children of bodom etc. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 Battery powered Cooler! Can I park my tent next to yours?

Guest Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 A lot of the unsigned acts were very good too.Come and say hello if u see the tent. Will be an ex white police omega estate next to it also a silver civic type r and/or a cavalier.Praying the weather won't rain, but if it does at least can chill in the tent some of the time.

dragolith Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Cool, if I am not too drunk, Ill try remember what cars to look out for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Just reading the revised rules.The cars cannot park by the tents now. It's 'nearby' assume means in the next field. Pain in the arse as that's how why charged the batteries.Limit on how much Alcohol you can bring.BBQ's only in designated area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratser Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I would have went to this, but alas just too many commitments on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well was a decent festival. Bit annoyed that they only told us we couldn't use gas cookers when we got there. So food we bought was mainly wasted.Ironically we cooked with a meth burner in the tent, it was a massive tent.Bands were good, wasn't keen on Nightwish though, preferred In Flames last year.See my pics.http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3 ... =539467011http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=3 ... =539467011 pt2you don't need to be on facebook to see them.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragolith Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yeah, we managed to smuggle a mini stove in, not to mention more than the limit on alcohol I LOVED Soilwork! I also loved As I Lay Dying, Eluvietie were a good find also. And I was well in the pit for Overkill, what an immense pit that was!My Pics and (Some) Vids-http://www.new.facebook.com/photos.php?id=512254601#/album.php?aid=52983&id=512254601http://www.new.facebook.com/photos.php?id=512254601#/album.php?aid=53013&id=512254601 PS - You got some sweet pics there!

Guest Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I think everyone took more alcohol than allowed. Do you have any beer in that bag? No of course notWe forgot which was water and vodka etc. Mate though it was blackcurrent so took a swig, was black sambucca!!Soilwork were good agreed. Not so sure who the bands were, not massively into metal as such. I was probably the only person not wearing black and with short hair lol.your pics dont' work, says content missing or something. That ride looked mad, didn't fancy it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwscooter Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Apologies for the resurrection but did you take a motorbike when you went to bloodstock?
