I was able to get to Cambridge about 8 times during the last 12 years and really enjoyed each festival. I was on the Cherry Hinton site which I felt had a marvelous atmosphere. The new arrangement mentioned on the web site came as a surprise to me.

I can imagine the hassle getting the camping gear on the bus and then onto the Cherry Hinton site.I certainly could not carry everything needed for the long weekend (ie, loads of camping gear and guitar).
My memories of an all night stay in the car park still linger - we had great times arriving about 1 in the morning and meeting the regulars doing the same. One year the kind hearted security people even let us rest in their tent - to be woken by the engines starting up at about 5ish to get onto the site.
Shame it seems this will never be the same again.
