Fri 7 Aug – The Big Chill 2009
Oh man, we had some good weather for The Big Chill this year. As ever the festival starts with wet conditions - from all accounts those hardy stall holders who had to set up on Tuesday could tell you some stories - but those of us travelling on Thursday drove through the last of the rain and into dry conditions. There was a bit of mud to be found on site; most of it around the main beer tent which can make carrying a few pints back from the bar, well, interesting.
After Thursday it was a case of slapping on the sun block and hitting the shade every once in a while. And Monday morning it's back to grey clouds and a welcome chill to the air - no one wants to get a couch back home for several hours when the sun light is slow baking you.

I actually lost count of the times either a friend or I said "this is definitely the best festival ever". …
