All ready to go, Saturday morning, all fed and had a good night sleep. Rog, Phil & myself stayed at a B&B near Bradford. |  |
That bus didn't go to the site, bus this one did! a queue for over a mile! got to be joking! Grab a taxi. |  |
Got to the site at about 14.30, pretty empty, very nice soft bouncy grass. A few dark clouds, but some some sunshine too. |
 |
Make our way to the nearest sound system. |  |
The meeting point, didn't sign out names, but hey. |  |
The Radio 1 stage, good sound system. |
 |
Extra pics not put up before |  |

Some mad up for it girls |  |
The other stage, Trade. 2 huge TV monitors either side of the stage. |  |
Sticker frenzy |
 |
?? nutters everywhere, excellent |  |
One of the first floats we bumped in to. The Dream Team, some Radio 1 garage stuff. |  |
|
 |
 |
Gods kitchen, great music |  |
Dave's float, another Radio 1 thing. | |
 |
 |
At about 3pm the crowds start to arrive and the park fills out. |  |
John spots something nice | |
 |
Radio 1 stage again, 2 projectors either side of their stage too. |  |
A shot of the crowd. |  |

Sid Fox, great music, stayed here for a while before it moved on. | ||

Everyone is going for it. |  |
Hands in the air for the build up anthem |  |
The serious float, again, great music played. |

Back to the Trade stage, when Black Legend came on it was fantastic. |  |
Everyone puts their hands in the air! |  |
A shot of the lads being, well, bad. |
 |
So many people, and a good atmosphere too. |  |
Everyone had turned their backs on Danny's float, oh well. |  |
Don't fancy yours much John. Nutters dancing in the trees and it starts to rain lightly on and off. |
 |
Back to Basics float had to be one of the best, great music, and a great vibe around it too. |  |
Nice sound quality till someone hit the emergency stop switch! |  |
Loads of people really up for it. |
 |
Over to the serious float again, loads of people gurning. |  |
Everyone is looking good and having a fun time. Beach balls bouncing around. |  |
Hard to see here, but there is a chap with foam around his mouth E'd right up! |
 |
 |
Follow the Slinky float, there's a mad chap dancing on the back of it. |  |
Again, great music, the sound system wasn't all that though, or was it the Gatecrasher float? | |
 x |
Everyone tries to grab the freebies. |  x |
Superstar DJ. |  x |
|
 |
Gatecrasher had to be one of the best floats. |  |
Starts to get late and we think about heading back to the main arena. |  |
|
 |
Wooooo, the Dream Team. and? |  |
Not a bad float, can't remember which one it was though. |  |
Undercover as the rain begins again. |
 |
Can you help me officer? |  x |
There was the now famous "mad woman" at G.bury Fest', here we had mad man. Trying to dance on top of a metal frame, how he didn't kill himself? |  x |
