Jamie Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Pretty impressive line-up. Never used to be anything like this in the Highlands in my day.Don't rate Embrace myself, but fairly high profile headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 Saturday night headliner to be EmbraceDefinitely not going to miss them this time. I'll bring my telescopic sights' date=' and I've got my reload time [i']right down...Hopefully the thought of their presence won't spoil my enjoyment too much. This really is one of the best festivals there is, regardless of who's playing - fantastic atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 It was brilliant last year, with a great atmosphere (miles better than T in the Park). I thought the line up last year (so far) was better but I'll go again because it was good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kowalski Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Yes, plenty to do for kids, its a real family atmosphere.I camped, again it was a nice atmosphere with no trouble. They knock up a big camp fire at the end of the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pogofish Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 is it a decent place for taking kids???? Plenty to keep them amused??? ANyone camped?Reasonable for kids. If you want a really child-friendly event tho' date=' try the Traquair Fair. [url']http://www.traquair.co.uk/fair.html Sometimes their music line-up is surprisingly good as well. Camping OK, roughly mown fields, few rocks & the ground was reasonably soft. Plenty of mown hay about to stuff under the tent as well. Comfy! If you want a decent nights sleep tho, specify the quiet area when you book your ticket, that settles down @midnight. Vehicles are parked away from tents, except in the campervan/caravan field. Both are also nearer to the main festival gate - I was in the west field & because of the licence restrictions, you had to walk right round the site to get-in as the gates on my side were either exit only or only open when the bar was active. Not a serious hike but with a stumping hangover & a need for coffee/medication, it was bad enough! Partying was pretty constant in that field the whole time.

KatyS Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 how long does it take to get there? and is there anyway to get there via public transport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Pel Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Banter, I'm quite up for this. If the Bunnymen do ''The Killing Moon'' it will be super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 how long does it take to get there? and is there anyway to get there via public transport?A couple of hours on the train/bus to Inverness then either a £10 taxi to the festival itself or the Beauly service bus to the Kiltarlity road-end then @20-30 mins walk after that. For some reason last year, direct buses to the festival from Inverness were few & far between. A couple went out on the Friday & back on Sunday AM but only one each way on the Saturday. However, a more regular minibus ran from Muir of Ord for some reason. It also has a station, change at Inverness. Hopefully things will be better this year as the numbers are going up by @ a third.The site was also emminently cyclable from Inverness as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
