We're camped at the Hooks Farm site but not stayed there before so it's nice to hear that the facilities are good. The site is approx half a mile outside RHB, but once up the main drag the rest, still up hill, should be a walk in the park in comparrison.

We've been to the festival for a number of years now and is very good and very popular which makes the three pubs very crowded but if you can get yourself ensconced within the crowd somewhere it takes some beating.

The large room upstairs in the Dolphin does get full and is always a formal singaround with an MC giving everyone a chance. Sometimes on the Saturday they have paid artsists who will give a session but I'm not sure if that is every year.

At The Bay - the pub right at the bottom overlooking the beach - the bottom room tends to get full of American/Cajun folkies whilst the room off the bar upstairs last year seemed to be a free for all singaround.

I've never even been inside the third pub - about a third of the way back up the hill - so I don't now what goes off in there but generally you can pick and choose what you want to get involved in or take a bit of each as you like.

There's a good fish and chip shop at the bottom as well, though each pub does good meals, and it's just a well because once at the bottom you don't readilly fancy walking back out to go back down again at night!

Enjoy
