I have been going for the last 30 odd years to a music festival. You turn up, get parked by an official, and have room for one medium sized tent behind your car. You are told that if you want to camp next to somebody else, that you meet before you arrive and drive in together. Otherwise, tough.
Agreeing all the way here, as long as you can reserve the spot you'd like as well. Just get 20-odd French youngsters at the gate (who can talk a little English please), and let them guide us one by one to our space. Can't see the problem with that.
Agreed. we're going round in circles a bit here I think. From the first thread we all agreed it was fair to buy an amount of space and to use that amount only. The issue is aoout how that is managed at the site.
It will be interesting to see how this works on the ground on the Monday morning when the queue is halfway up the road.
If they move to proper allocated pitches next year (like Houx) hopefully a lot of the potential problems will be avoided. But having had a Houx pitch with a tree in it (7 x 5 including a tree doesn't give you much room....) I hope that some thought will be given to the areas that are really not useable. The edge where we were last year is a good example, there is a strip around 2 m wide that you cannot get pegs into. We have rock pegs and a metal lump hammer and couldn't pitch anything there.
