Getting back to the theme of preparations, I have booked my Weds night overnight with youngest son in Abingdon, so I can get away at a decent time on Thursday morning, rather than having to leave home at stupid o'clock!


Book a table at the Brewery Tap and try their brisket. You'll thank me later.


We did, and I did, and I do  Grin

I'm not sure I'll need to eat for the whole of the festival now! (Though I'm sure I will  Smiley )

Probably good that I didn't suggest doubling it up with the Pulled Pork...

Have a great festival, Will, and all who are attending.

Cheers

Have a wonderful time everyone! Smiley

Had decided not to go this year & have just realised that my last Cropredy was 2018! I think I can guess where a lot of that time disappeared! Sad

I was thinking it might be nice to go along on Saturday...Would anyone know if there is a ticket sales point at Cropredy? Doubtful I know, but I am only familiar with the ticket/wristband exchange from my previous times attending.

Always used to be just in from the top gate (not the 'arena' but the camping side), but I haven't been for 13 years so may be very wrong.

Thanks David! Smiley Yes, I do seem to recall this as well (certainly pre internet days)! Always seemed a great way of generating a bit of last minute extra income! Maybe I will just go along & try my luck! Grin

Just charging the big wifi speaker and an emergency little one, ready for 8pm, when BBC website  states that Radio Oxford will be broadcasting highlights and the Fairport set.

It took me over 30 minutes to remember how to set Task Scheduler for recording - now in Windows 11 it seems rather temperamental!!
