If your going on the train from london you need to get one to halesworth. There is lots of newbies at latitude and the rest of us are very friendly. Come say hi mellissa, i am the tall one and foot or two above everyone else

That's one of the things I love about being at a festival ....... having a can of cider with breakfast is practically encouraged. In real life, apprantly it's frowned upon!

I'm coming over from Berlin and don't have a tent and so if anyone has space in a tent, I would absolutely love a camping buddy. I am very friendly and easygoing and can bring yummy things. Send me a message if you think you'll have space :D thank you in advance! [:D]

Welcome all newbies, there is a shuttle from halesworth at 6.09, 7.09 and 8.09 if you want to get there earlier i suggest getting a taxi as only 10 mins away.

I am not sure that the cost of a taxi at 20 quid is worth even your company for the day George!

Is that how much the taxi is then tony? Not sure how else you will get there earlier than the 6.09 shuttle without a taxi. My company is worth thousands.

If Download was anything to go by, the walking boots went back in the car on the Friday morning and the wellies stayed firmly on the feet for the rest of the weekend! I hope this isn't the case though, I get horrendously cold feet in wellies and cold feet aren't nice on the night shift :-(N

Hopefully the Control room won't get too muddy though Amy ;)

Two pairs of socks, one thin pair as liner socks, then thicker thermal or hiking socks. Wellies are not good insulators, at least hiking boots have a lining. Keep getting up and running round the tables, that should help keep you warm too....[:)]

Na the control room doesn't get muddy but the entrance to it does and the route to the loos. It's a terrible hardship really! I could always change into slippers when I get there and leave the wellies at the door lol

That's my plan as well. Slippers and smoking jacket for the control room, and monsoon gear for the walk to camp.

I'm trying to figure out the logistics of getting a large arm chair and a fire place to Latitude with me. We could turn CAT's corner into a lovely cosy drawing room with a roaring fire.

I've got a trailer so if we can manage your chair, then I'll throw on a small bookcase and standard lamp. We'll have to ask Mark if he could provide us with a small Axeminster or a nice persian rug.

OOH, liking this idea, just racking my brain cell (Got to have a scan on Saturday afternoon(!) to see if they can find it first) to think what I could contribute. Being of a genteel persuasion, I'm thinking maybe a china teaset for afternoon tea and scones???

Hi, just a quick question. It says in the festival pack that there is access to hot tea and coffee. Is this in urns or is there also access to hot water for pot noodles, cuppa soups etc? Just to save me bringing my hexi burners and mess pans. Cheers.

You'll be welcome to use the hot water for your snacks and own hot drinks.

Hi, this will be my third year at Latitude, but my first year volunteering.
Just wondering if there are any mobile phone charging points in the guest camping? I was planning on using my phone as my alarm to get me up for those early shifts! I know Vodafone offer charging, and too the lockers, but was just wondering if there was somewhere for staff to charge their phones.
Thanks.
