Camp Bestival – just bloody brilliant.

Camp Bestival. Is over for another year. I have to review… but it was such a monumentally HUGE weekend, it would be difficult to be concise. I couldn’t tell you about everything, it’s just not possible, Camp Bestival is too huge an experience.

Keycamp – what did we really think?

As we had such a mixed experience of Keycamp, I’ve decided the best thing is to break the review into parts – one for each site, and one for the company itself.
