It took me 65 minutes to queue up and get my wristband, and "health and safety" prevented people from entering the main arena until 7:30, when it should have been 5:00, but after that all was well. The stage is set for a good weekend now.

We had a great evening wandering round, talking to people and listening to music. I had intended to watch Supergrass, but I missed them. I did hear them, I just didn't see them, so no pictures unfortunately. They were good, and the crowd loved it.

This is Wes who was at my college last year:

This is the main stage seen across tents, with the church in the background (where there is an orchestra playing on Sunday):

This is inside the Drum and Bass tent:

This was a rather nice tepee with a campfire inside it that Helen and I had a rest in towards the end of the evening:

I’ll post some better pictures tomorrow - these are just a few openers to give the basic flavour. I’ll definitely be glued to the main stage for 65daysofstatic tonight and hopefully I’ll get a few pictures of them in action. I’ll be heading back there in an hour or so.

Cheers, Tom.
