If living in fields, mud and occasional excrement sounds like your cup of tea, why not come to the Glastonbury Festival this June in Somerset, England? There you can be guaranteed to find a whole range of strange and wonderful people from hippies to ... well, more hippies really.
This is "the largest greenfield music and performing arts festival in the world" (according to the festival organisers themselves). And it is big. Very big. I mean really, really big. The site takes up 900 acres and the perimeter fence is 8 miles (13 km) long. This year the total number of people will approach 175,000. That's big.
Of course, to get here you must have a ticket. And to get a ticket this year you must have pre-registered which I, along with 395,000 other people, have done so. Yes Einstein, that means there will be around 200,000 disappointed people. I am hoping very much not to be one of them when tickets going on sale on 1 April.
Last time around in 2005 I kept a blog via my mobile phone and I'm planning on doing the same again this year. Click here to see what happened last time. And come back in June for live, up-to-the-minute reporting from a very, very big field...
