That was a heat wave over night compared to other shows over the past 3 years.

Had a great time but had to unzip the sleeping bag as It was to warm.

You've not tried the Santa-Pod fireworks do then? Last time I went, we had a big bonfire near our caravan and when when one of us stood up to go for a pee, we found a circle right around us and the fire and everything outside it was covered in frost! The tent next to us had ice on the inside and before they joined us at our fire, they'd burnt their map book, seat covers and anything else they could find!

Luckily we'd planned ahead, we'd turned up with the caravan floor, the boot of the second car (a large Merc boot) and the floor of a minibus full of wood - mainly old floor joists - and we managed to keep our fire going from 19:00 to 04:30 on both the Friday and Saturday nights!

It was 'kin cold during the days though
