Fri me and Tom were off work so drove 'up north' (actually to Stratford but all the southerners were calling it 'up north' for Global Gathering). Cos I'm a HMW 
me and Tom had decided to book a room in a delightful inn just down the road from the site cos there was no way I wanted to camp with lots of 18 year old cybers Got to the inn, checked in and waited for Rach, Paul, Jon and Bec, had a couple of drinks and then headed into the site where we helped them with all their camping equipment As we're going thru we notice a dog and not a nice dog at that, then it's oh dear the dog seems to be taking an unhealthy interest in Tom 
Tom has to go into a hut with a policeman while we've all got to go thru. 5 mins later Tom calls and everything is hunky dory but he's probably going to be half an hour - I won't go into what they did to him but you can probably guess We eventually find an empty couple of metres of grass and proceed to put the tents up (well everyone else did while I ponced around with a rose - I'm never going to be a camper )
Tom then appears, if I'd had a policeman up my bum I'd have probably been crying but Tom was so laid-back about it all We then head into the main site and head to the Beach and listened to a bit of Tongy, then caught some of Guetta who boshed out anthem after anthem as only he can. Then Lawler came on who was my set of the first day, and then Deep Dish who were good altho Dubfire is in danger of turning into the Smokin' Jo of the partnership cos all he seems to do is ponce round the DJ booth while Sharam does all the hard work Caught the last bit of Daft Punk and then headed back to the campsite for a bit of minxiness. Then we left the campers to their tents and we went back to our inn to our lovely comfy bed
Managed to get about 4 hours sleep and up and ready for part 2 and everyone came over from the camp site (after a terrible nights sleep) to use our shower and proper toilet New recruits were added all the time with lots of Jon's friends and my sis and her b/friend and after lots of drinks we headed back to the site - fortunately no dog problems getting in this time
Headed to the Beach again and saw some of Erick who went down a treat dancing in the sunshine, then we saw ??
and then Fatboy on the Beach again who I really enjoyed. Then had to go on the obligatory fairground rides and then headed to see Tom's beloved Oakie Oakie did not disappoint, one exploding moment after another and when he played Solar Stone there was simultaneously galvanising going on After Oakie we got a bit confused, I think we saw a bit of Armin but we didn't really have a plan, fortunately Paul had a braincell left and took the executive decision of seeing Josh Wink who was really good and then Eric Prydz who was my set of the wkend, proper dirrrrttttyyyy dirrrrrrtttttyyy house, that kept us all dancing til the very last record. Then headed back into the Godskitchen arena for the last hour and then attempted to find the campsite, not the easiest of things in our state
Had a few drinks in the campsite which resembled a war zone People were actually leaving their tents cos they were too destroyed to even take them down Eventually me and Tom remembered we had a hotel room we needed to check out of so we headed back there and got home Sunday afternoon.
Absolutely blinding weekend, fab company and all the DJs we saw were on top form

then off to lunch with my friend that I'd cancelled on saturday night. Around 4 made my way so the glorious soho pride where I met up with a work collegue, had a wander and eventaully decided to settle on the QX stage where they were pumping out the funky funky chunky house - was a very odd experience seeing all the Vauxhall gays out in the sunshine 
The music was spot on, and the sound system was aswesome!! Met a really cool girl early on in the night, so spent the whole time with her. Ended up losing her in a crowd though, and I forgot to get her number....gutted! Got back to mine about 3pm on Sunday.
Plus when the sun came out at 8am our tent turned into a microwave so I was sweating and couldnt sleep 
Thankfully met up with a couple of mates by pure chance who had working phones and then we managed to locate everyone else.
then back to our tents for drinks and laughs.
