Hi,
I have signed to work at both festivals, however my friends are somewhat less adventurous so I am going alone. Any lovely fellow festival workers out there I can camp with? [:)]

Any friendly people doing Latitude or Reading?

There's lots of friendly people who will be doing both. I'll be at Latitude but being a Northern Lass, I'll be off up to Leeds.
There's plenty of people who go it alone so I'm sure you'll make new friends in no time. Best thing to do it find a gathering or campfire, grab a couple of beers and join in.
Enjoy :-)

Of course, we're a really friendly bunch, like Amy said,just introduce yourself, bring a couple of cans over and join in the fun. I'm working Latitude for the 4th year running and Big Chill for the first time. You'll be fine, lots of people are on their own, till they get there.........

Aww thanks guys :) I'm now really looking forward to it. I posted a similar message on the reading forums and all I got back was 'HAHA.' -Most helpful.
So many thanks again.

Same story as you I'm at Reading volunteering alone. My friends are going to Reading but like you said were too unadventurous to join me! See you there mate! :) x

I'm volunteering by myself at Reading too, the original intention was for a group of us to do it but the rest dropped out. Didn't want to ruin my fun so I'm going it alone, assuming there'll be a few people like me so hopefully won't be an issue!

Hey! Yeah, I'm doing Latitude (my first festival volunteering) by myself as well, I was so scared about the fact that I'd be on my own but after reading this and realising that everyone is so lovely and welcoming I'm not too stressed anymore :) Yay! So looking forward to it ^^

Hi Tom! Yeah, would be great to camp with nice people instead of turning up not knowing what the hell to do. Just seen that I'm in Delta 1 too! Awesome, guess we'll be working together! Look forward to meeting you :)

Sweet, my email is caitlin.p.bart [at] gmail.com :) finally, someone in my shift group! Excitement. I'm from London and based there over the summer, but I go to uni in Brighton so I'm all over the place. You? Looking forward to seeing any bands in particular, or are you just going to go with the festival flow, as it were? X

Caitlin, I've sent you a p.m. I'm driving to Latitude from London on Tuesday at 09.00am.. if you can get to Kings Cross or Euston then maybe I can help you.. for equal share of petrol costs.. have another definate confirmed and a potential/highly likely.. but even so, still room for two more.. I'm gonna be working Charlie 1... and not Delta 1 as I had previously stated.
Have sent you my email address and facebook details.. let me know soonest..

Mark just wants the old school thrill of not knowing what shift he is on till he arrives:-)

Ahh.. well.. ermm... yeah..of course, I knew that.. (ooops..) Charlie, Delta, they're just phonetic labels... I got the '1' right though ehh...?
So, Caitlin, I've still sent the nessage, but my shift pattern is Charlie 1 not Delta 1... so will still be leaving Tuesday morning for 09.00am and will still be returning on Monday morning at some point.

I'm volunteering for Latitude. Not scared, more excited! But still would love to get to know some of you before I start :-) I'm in Delta 1
Travelling from Oxford, if anyone wants to meet in London and travel that would be great!

Hi Livi, are you going to Reading? It's just that I'm from Oxford too and we could go together even though Reading is hardly far!

Hey Joel, i'm afraid I'm not going to Reading- would have loved to though, but didn't manage to get a stewarding place!
Think i'm going to travel Wednesday but havent actually looked at trains or anything!

Ok Livi, I am going Tuesday but the trains are every hour from Liverpool Street so you should have no problems, There will be people on just about every train during the day going to Latitude, not all with Hotbox but all chatty and almost as excited as Amy is about going to Sonisphere

Just checked the weather forecast for Latitude. So far, the forecast is looking pretty good so everyone keep your fingers crossed that it stays that way!

It's still the same time to Latitude regardless whether people are going to Sonisphere first.. I mean.. it doesn't start any earlier for those does it..?
Just a question... [:D]

It obviously feels less if you are enjoying yourself at Sonisphere.

Hey folks! My names nathan, this would be my first time ever at latitude as i \"answered the call\" for more stewards... I am already set for stewarding at reading later!
Im going solo too to latitude as it was pretty a case of \"might as well do it\" syndrome!
ooo im delta 1 too ^_^
i need to dig out all my camping stuff and make sure its all there after last years reading fiasco's!

Hi Nathan :) I'm in Delta 1 too, and I'm also volunteering by myself, scary stuff :P Everyone seems really nice so far as I'm sure you have seen though, so we should be fine! :)

Hey Nathan & Caitlin! we're all in the same boat- volunteering by myself! Should be great though!
What bands are you hoping to see? Would be cool to go to a couple with people! I really want to see Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, Lykke Li, Ed Sheeran, Bright Eyes, and Eels.
Btw if you guys are on fb, add me- Livi Cracknell :-)

Hi Livi! Just added you on FB :) Yeah would be brilliant to get some people together and see some bands! Really looking froward to Bombay Bicycle Club, Vaccines, Bright Eyes, Hurts and Iron and Wine, and James Vincent McMorrow (whenever he's playing, don't think it's been confirmed yet, or if it has I can't find it, ha :P) Exciting! x

Totally agree with jack that knowing someone before it starts or finding someone to camp with would be amaaazing so give me a buzz!
