I guess I'll have to as it's so close.Only thing that worries me is the event organisers doing it just did a food festival in Kendal and were a bit pants at the organising.
No idea what will be there when it actually kicks off but we'll have a look anyway.Maybe see you there.
Cheers , Simon

£80 a ticket so it wants to be good
Doesnt anyone fancy having a kind of car share? Say, from durham to the lake, then say we could make a road trip of it too!

Has anyone been to one before? The price is off-putting at the mo
Thats true it is for me too shortyman, Tho if you add up the individual daily gate prices, it still doesnt amount to 80quid!

Hi S&W. WH Smiths in Lancaster had one copy left on Sunday.I didn't buy it as I can't bring myself to blow £5 on a magazine!
You know what they say about Cumbrians though ; Scots with all the generosity squeezed out! :D
no dogs !

Wilderness Gathering - no dogs
Bush Moot - no dogs
Why is everyone so amazed that this event is also dog less?
i'm looking to take my mutt in on a day out, not a camping weekend.
i would suggest that the main type of person who would attend this type of event are also dog owners and that rule will put a lot of "day trippers" off.
i for one am on a walking holiday not 10 miles from the venue that weekend with SWMBO and the pooch, we'd love to go to this event as we have very little chance to attend anything " across the water" as we live in NI, so....what do we do with the dog ?.....leave her in the car all day ?.......wise up !
the gate money will undoubtable suffer and responsible dog owners are being denied the chance to enjoy this event.
not good, not good at all.
( rant over......we were really looking forward to this ! )
Planning to go up on the Friday
WOO HOO!!! I just booked my ticket for me and SWMBO!!!
See you there!!!
(Maybe.... alot of people wear camo!)

Maybe so, but any country fair or agricultural show I've been to I'd estimate the number of people who actually take their dogs with them at less than 1 in 20. Sure you see quite a few dogs but the vast majority of show goers don't take dogs.
For this show I think it was important for them to offer a camping site with facilities and that was going to be extremely difficult to find an appropriate site which allowed dogs.

Hi Guys
Just to try and stop two threads on the same subject, you might want to look at this thread:

where I hope you will find more info.
