Bloodstock 2024 | Campervan Field | Dinosaurs invade!
The Vanaheim campervan field is in a new location for 2024. Here's a VLOG of my Bloodstock and the 10 hour journey down which we broke up with a stop at Tebay. The fancy dress theme for Saturday this year was dinosaurs so the crew made a bit of an effort with costumes. We had no idea they'd be so popular.

    This was my first year at download but I wasn't impressed. The organization and layout were really poor. It just seemed like they had no idea how to deal with the rain and the mud. I'm probably going to try grasspop next year. Watching videos of this year which had very heavy rain they really knew how to deal with it, wood chip and boarding laid down, multiple tented areas in the arena to take refuge. At download you were just left to get soaked when the rain came, abysmal. Plus you could barely move any where because of the mud, it really spoiled things from Saturday onwards. Also the layout was shit, they desperately needed a bar to the East of the main stage, where they had a row of duplicated food stands (that people were getting food poisoning from). Also the toilets in the Arena were at the bottom of a hill so became flooded, muddy and disgusting. We ended up leaving the arena and using the row of 10 portaloos outside when we needed to go.

      My last Leeds (19) it was only £90 for campervan. Had tickets for the cancelled Rage year too and that was cheap. My issue there was it was full of kids and no one watched the guitar acts. Watched Bob Vylan with about 12 people and 3 of them were Melvyn Benn and cohorts. This year felt busy at times but was nowt like last year. The problem is scheduling so that huge crowds walk together between stages rather than being spread out evenly over the site.

      Yeah it's a great bit of kit. Few years old now, thinking of getting the bigger one. I have no doubt the substandard facilities are a deliberate push to get people to buy the more lucrative campervan plus with flushing toilets.

      Yeah there's only one Wargasm in the UK. I've seen them a few times and tried to like them but just can't. They're pretty pish even if Milky is miming some of her lines now. Mind you they're not alone in that. They've been given a push through having a family member high in the music industry but can't see them getting far. I doubt the other Wargasm have the might and resources to enforce a cease and desist on them though. Be fun to watch.

      Hi Simon, thanks for watching. I should clarify, I triple bagged the Bog in a Bag and put it with the rest of my rubbish in a green garden refuse sack. BSCH will verify. I'm not that much of an animal (anymore) 🤣 General camping isn't so much of a rip off if you are quick enough. I'm not saying I'll never go again but it would have to be a stellar line up that is exclusive and I'd obviously be too late for a van pass so it would be a hotel job. Incidentally teh hotel the AA put us up in was decent. We laughed at the no muddy boot signs. Yes I'll be at Bloodstock and look forward to seeing you.
