Here are the rumours.....
Local Radio - The Main stage was sinking!

The guy who climbed on the Bollywood bar on the sunday - Got hurt bad when he fell off the top!

Cars in the car park were sliding down the hill into each other!

And the worst of them all....

The owner of Robin Hill country park was in two minds wether to make this the last one at that magic site. We all reckon the bill to returf the place will be thousands and that alone will have made his mind up :-(

Yeah John, I did dsi proud and got about 500 ish. Bit gutted I didn't get a chance to take you and Soph's picture!

Also felt a bit bad for Alex-SSC who got a 5D for his 21st in July, only to have it caked in mud by some clown who thought it'd be 'a laugh' to splash him! :-0

And did anyone see Max and OB of Hollioaks fame? Apparently they were wandering around all incognito...

I didn't actually go in the end.. I hate to say it but I wimped out last minute because of the mud! :S 5 days of mud at last years Glastonbury was enough for my lifetime..

Spoke to Soph lots over the weekend and she seemed to be having fun, and we had Jake and Jack there doing lots of videos so we will all see what fun you guys had in a couple of weeks.

Get your pics up soon and you might find yourself with a spanking front pager! ;)

Promises promises hahaha. Fair play I can understand if you did Glasto that you wanted no more mud!

All in all though I still think the whole event was a success. We missed most of the acts that we wanted to see on fri and sat, mostly for being a little toasted. However highlights for me was Roni Size in the Hidden Disco (queued for half an hour but got most off the set) and DJ Yoda in the Red Bull tent. I've never seen him before and he ripped the bloody roof of the place!

Did Jake and Jack do the megaspot?

John, can't believe you bailed mate! The mud was pretty annoying when you wanted to chill out, but I still had the most incredible weekend! I've gotta say the crowd at Bestival is the best crowd I've seen at any festival or night - everyone is so happy, friendly and up for having a great time. The atmosphere really is on another level - I didn't see any trouble or any pikeys! I'm so pleased I made the effort to go!

This was one of the most annoying bits for me - I couldn't get in because it was full by the time I got there! Had to dance outside!

Yeah cheers for sorting us out Thai. Sorry you lost a bit of money on the ticket but I couldn't have afforded to go if it was more so I guess at least you made some back.

Was told earlier this is a rumour, i know someone who speaks often with the owner and they have said that they have had good years of doing it and therefore were expecting this to happen at one point, and after all it is good old england so the weather cant be perfect forever! The bestival people are apparently staying down longer to organise the sorting out of the grounds....Hope they dont change their mind!

Early Bird tickets are up for sale so I doubt it's the last!
