1/4 ile is too far to leave kids so we'll buy a tent. shame Easter is so early but we can always huddle together for warmth. What are food facilities and washing?

Very limited numbers of vans on the main site, but plenty of room at the "quiet" site about 1/4 mile away.

A query - we normally go everywhere in the caravan. Does the campsite take vans or is it tents only. We don't want to be far from the late night action!

Well it LOOKS good Toby, but as a thechnophobe I found it very confusing...too many different bits and pieces...not clear enough for techno-idiots like me...sorry but you did ask for feedback!

Howdy all, glad to see everyones getting all keen and fired up for another festival, turning into a bit of a regular thing now... we might have to start organising something a bit. :)
anyways, im just gonna have a quick plug for the forum weve got on the miskin site, dads gonna link to it from the main page of miskin. Check it out and see what you think.

www.miskinfolk.co.uk/forum

if you have any requests for something for the website, or the main festival dont hesitate to put them there, its a cheesy line, but we appreciate any constructive feedback we get from you lot. Im currently working with dad on sorting out some new pictures and things for the site. I may make a gallery you lot can add your own snaps to, but we'll see eh? ;)

More responsive? they're quite difficult to steer under normal conditions... If they get any 'flightier' they are likely to develop a high-speed weave, similar to early 80's Kawasaki Z900's.

Why do I keep wanting to say Minisk? have I been brainwashed by Russians or something.

I would love to come, and might, unless I am throwing eggs, chasing cheeses, building Green-men or other "Please let it be Summer soon" activities.

Yes that's where it was last year, but Andy said that the farmer is making a second field available this year, instead of just the one. It was rather crowded last year. Perhaps that means even more sheep !

Your right Dave instead of turning into the Mill carry on under Motorway and its on your right.

As Linda (Essex Girl) has already said, we're looking forward to next year. According to Andy, They'll have a second field for caravans, so there should be a bit more space on the site.

We'll be there, God willing, I go for the tingly moments - and to help keep the fire alight! - and help in the kitchen......and behind the bar....and to have the best time you can at a festival. I am so glad Andy didn't keep it secret from me!

Anyone who's ever been to Miskin makes it a part of their year & I certainly wouldn't miss it for the world!! It's a wonderful thriving festival (with all those tingly moments) but none of us want it to get toooooo big *smile*

Methinks Richard is worried in case it's a real struggle to get to the bar through the crowd.....

Richard:

Listing it here (not really advertising) is unlikely to do it any harm.
A quick search on previous threads will show you that this is the fourth successive Miskin which has been heralded in this manner.
So something must be going right!

Looks like I dropped out of the system again!! Ne'er mind!
Heard a rumour at Banbury that I was having trouble booking the Mill...Ah?? not so.. But I have now realised that someone must have overheard me saying I was having trouble with "The Site" i.e. the Web site, not the same thing!!
The Mill is booked and ready and even the website is nearly up and running again. A first taste of guests and soon more to follow.
See you there?
Oh, and it mustn't be too big a secret or one day no-one will turn up!!

GUEST,MBS. This festival doesnt work because I go. It works because its a wonderful small event,that I would like to stay as it is. Im selfish, too many festivals get bigger and loose atmosphere, and those "Tingly Song moments" that Andy loves dont happen.

Hurrah,
sorted out the site, weve got the basic site up and running on new and propa servers now :) im just setting up a forum at time of writing too so hopefully we can get a wee community going or summin.
some people might not be able to access the site for a day or two yet, its all to do with "propagation of DNS entries" which basically means, not all the ISP knows that our site exist and they say "waaa? what site you want? Nah, sorry mate, wont have the parts for a few weeks and it'll cost extra to install" or maybe "site cant be found" on the more sensible browsers.... anyway, i digress...
We Have Site! hurrah again
sorry about the ramble, its just ive been workin on this for 3 days now and it was getting a bit frustrating.
miskinfolk.co.uk
and the forum might/will be at miskinfolk.co.uk/forum but not JUST yet :)
p.s. im not advertising the festival, im just stopping people from emailing us about the site being broken :) althou a bit of advertising is good sometimes too

At the risk of being shot down in flames - I have to agree with Richard. I LOVE Miskin, it's one of the highlights of the year for me, but it does get very crowded in the sings. I'm not sure if there is enough room for any more people.

Do you think Richard and others that Miskin Festival runs just because you come along,i believe it needs to be known to keep the festival going and if Miskin Man who is Andy wants to advertise the festival plus his son Toby then let it.
