Could somebody please sum up what Piston Fest is all about please ?

From the bits I've read it sounds like a jolly good bash, but if someone could just provide an overview of what goes on, costs, what the camping arrangements are, facilities, entertainment (apart from watching others get drunk and fall over!) etc, that would be great !

Would love to come along and join in the merriment !

Cheers !! party beer drunk sleep (and repeat....)

  • Arrive as soon as you can

  • Find a friend, open can of beer - repeat - repeat

  • Decide to erect tent before beer gets the better of you

  • More beer & friends

  • Eat burger and wonder whether you should have

  • More beer & friends

  • Watch some 2CV's - get bored very quickly

  • More beer & friends

  • Find the toilets are OK but too far away

  • Go to beer tent and find more friends

  • Find out the price of the beer - Sneak your own beer in

  • Listen to the band

  • Watch people make fools of themselves

  • Realise others are watching you & wonder whether you are being a fool

  • Use the big outdoor toilet

  • Look at your watch and realise it's 3:30am

  • Stagger to tent and fall through the door

  • Wake up next morning and realise you're in some other persons tent

  • Get up and start again.

Don't mention that!

It was disgusting. Some problem with the maintenance company not maintaining it or something.

Still, lesson learnt and won't happen again
