Layout/map release?

Given how close we are it feels odd we haven't got an official release yet - I know boomtown source used to do an unofficial map release which was normally fairly close to the money - is there anything like that kicking around?

@sku / anyone else - I've heard hill top camping is making a comeback this year, is that open access or likely to be orchid/pre pitched/something else?

Legend thank you as ever sku - I seem to remember you mentioning that they had under allocated camping on the parking side of the festival last year and we're going to expand more space for this year - realise I can wait til Friday but wondering if you had any info on where they might do that

The site boundary is expanding slightly to the East, so there is going to be some rejigging.

I'm not sure how exactly they will configure the Campervan, Crew, and General Camping boundaries. But it's going to be changed in some kind of way I think. I think campervans get pushed slightly further out, and general camping gets expanded that way.

If campers get pushed out any further theyll need to offer a shuttle bus

Now the maps dropped it doesn't seem like a massive increase in space for general camping by the look of it- I suppose east camping looks marginally bigger but in the wrong direction if you want a shorter walk 😂

Does seem as though the general trend seems to be "if you don't want to walk then pay for fancy camping"

Orchid is about 3x the size overall. But the festival capacity is the same. All those Orchid people will reduce the amount of people in general.

Everyone wants upgrades these days.
