Almost mid 40's here! Volunteered at Reading for 2 years and this will be my 2nd year volunteering at V (a lot closer to home, I only live about 10 miles away!) Attended both as a punter, but having volunteered would never go back!
Love the Reading line up this year though, but with two children I can't warrant being away two consecutive weeks (oh to be 10 or 20 years younger!!!!!)

Hi Palmski,
I too am volunteering for the first time and find that I have more miles on the clock than the average. But I take heart, Steve, that at least one other volunteer will have more of life experiences also.
From my vantage point of 54 I strongly disagree, Andy, that early forties can be termed "old codger"! You don't even qualify as middle aged these days. ;-)
So, I am looking forward to hanging out with all the youngsters in their forties and below and having a fabulous time with all.
See you all soon, Caro

Hi Palmski.
I'm the wrong side of 60, so everyone else in the world is a youngster to me ( except John Cale )
I'm going on my own.
Latitude will be the 1st major festival that l've attended since 1974, but I thought it well worth a try.
Hope to see you there
Regards
Steve

Hey Palmski,
Martin hit the nail on the head with his reply.... age really doesn't make that big a difference. I'm early 40's too so that's at least 3 old codgers this year!
Give me a shout on direct message if you want and i'll give you my number so at least that way you have a group to pitch up next to if you end up travelling alone.

I can only speak for Latitude - but while I'd say 50% are in the 18-21 age group (probably due to uni vacation time, oh to have that amount of free time again), there's a wide variety of people coming together which makes it such a nice festival. I even had parent-son camped by me last year, heartening that the different generations can enjoy the same things. And I've just hit the big 4-0 at the start of the month, my body hasn't given way yet like everyone says it does so I'll still keep on comin...
