Pissed off campers?
Anyone else camping at Sanctuary pissed off about the complete lack of facilities available during the day on Saturday?

I've been to many a festival, and never before have I seen such poor catering facilities and nothing available in terms of rides/activities for campers until the music started. Queues for the burger van were obscene, because there was only the one van open till quite late in the day; they'd run out of coffee by about 10am; and there was nothing to do until the festival site opened except stay in tents or hang out in the one (crowded) bar.

In the past I've seen rides in the campsite running from mid-morning, a selection of food and drink options, a dedicated (and covered) tea tent, and campers allowed into the festival site an hour before music starts to allow them to explore and play on the rides.

The promised outdoor cinema never appeared, the bungee jump wasn't there (the slingshot is a different ride from the one pictured on the festival site), and the 'additional activities' hinted at on the website never turned up.

I'm going to be writing to Slammin Vinyl to complain, but before I did I wanted to see if anyone else felt let down by the organisers in terms of camping facilities/entertainment, or if it was just me and my friends.

Yes, well, that seems par for the course with this festival.
Why, for example, did they not say in advance that ALL the music tents weren't starting until 7pm on Saturday, despite it supposedly starting at 2pm? The main stage is the only place where anything is on earlier.

The DnB tent was spot on until about 2am-3am. Then I sensed it was getting a bit hostile. Perhaps because many are sniffed right up by that point - I dunno.

As for that MC (the big black one) he was fucking shocking. And it was not loud enough. For 50 quid I would have preferred a bit more but oh well. Still was good.
