Went to V2007 Festival at the weekend and had a great time. Took the trike as usual (I'm not on commission I promise) and it was great for travelling around to each stage. It was a bit daunting at times though as there are so many people walking about and they only see you at the last minute. There were quite a few other wheelchair users there and the ones that didn't have trikes or scooters just had people helping them to push..
I went with my friend Faye and met up with a load of other friends who were already there camping. Mobile phones are a nightmare at festivals as there are so many people trying to make and receive calls that they rarely work. The best way of communicating is by text as they will always get through within a few minutes. If you are trying to meet up with people its tough but I managed to meet up with my friends early on then lost them later so Faye and I just headed over to the main stage to watch Pink. She was awesome, absolutely amazing singer and what a great performance as well. She really owns the stage when she's on it.
The wheelchair platform at the main stage is perfect for watching the bands. You are a bit further back than you would like to be but when there are 80,000 people all squashed together in front of the stage, your quite grateful to have a flat elevated platform to sit and watch the action from in relative comfort.
It started raining about 9.30pm half way through the Foo Fighters set but by then we didn't care. We had our waterproof macks on, "No Way Back" was blasting out of the speakers at us and we were just 2 more nodding heads in a sea of nodding heads. A really great day.
