    hey, the campsite can be quite the shanty town alright. I'd advise like the others and get the drinks in. I went last year and camped with a couple of friends and the facilities were awful. Get up early to use the poratloos as they'll have been cleaned out. I still had a brilliant time last year so don't worry you'll be able to put up with the squalor for a few nights. The line up[ is excellent aswell. I heard about people settin fires to tents although I didn't see any of that in campsite b.

    The camping aspect has always been a bit of a drawback personally! I'm not looking forward to being surrounded by scumbags (as is generally the case I've been told!) and having to use ****ty facilities.

    If it was for Green Day and the Killers like last year I would have been more up for it but camping I'm just not into at all, never mind camping in a field of crap!

    Either way it'll be an experience so it'll be worth it. But I'm not necessarily looking forward to it no.

    It will be my first time going, hearing the same stories as yourself but most people have said to me just get merry and enjoy the weekend.

    Yes lots of people are looking forward to oxegen as it will be great to have the majority of the 14 to 21 year old trash in one place for the weekend, thus allowing the rest of us all to enjoy our country a little more.

    On a more serious note if it is going to be raining or wet for the weekend my advice would be to get your self up to the back and top of camp site B, its possibly one of the furthest parts away from the main area but this has it's advantages as you won't have every tom, dick and harry having to go past you to get to thier tent. Also this part of the course dries pretty quickly (don't forget your camping on a race course). You definetly don't want to be down hill when it rains.

    Finally don't pitch up too close to the boundary fences as inevitably as the weekend progresses people will just use these areas as a toliet extension.
