Anyone going to this? http://www.v-dubisland.com/ I'll be there for one of the days and hopefully for the Island Drive
how come, would be good to hear feedback? I've not been before but since I happened to be on the island anyway, thought it was worth a visit.
Worth a visit if you're already there but I wouldn't go there just for it, we were all crammed in like sardines, heavy handed security staff, couldn't take any food/drink into the arena/marquee, hardly any stands worth talking about, police arresting campers for smoking dope check out this place http://stoats-farm.co.uk/about-us/ a good hearty walk to the needles and a lovely pub with a beer garden right next door
We went 2 years ago we left after 2 days and went off round the island for a week just did not gel with the show To be honest though I am a grumpy git and have given up on vw shows they are not the chilled out shows they use to be its all T5s playing their own music and a excuse to get loud and *******ed
Damn that looked perfect date wise as we are meant to be on the Island for a party on Sat 18th July, the dates you have posted up are for the 'carry on camping' bit. The actual 'festival' is 23rd-27th July, which i'll struggle to do. @VWT2GEL doesn't give the festival a very positiive review, so i'll probably give the pre camp a miss as well Another vote for Stoats farm camp site, may well head back there
I went to V-Dub Island last year and pretty much enjoyed it. This year its at a new site / venue. The strange thing for me at any of these events is the 'Drive out' - this basically leaves the event empty for most of one of the days. This cannot be good for the traders. Not sure why organisers think its a good idea??
Some of my daughters pictures from last year. Good show, beautiful island and the drive out is just fab. Roo 92 Photography https://www.facebook.com/Roo92Photography?ref=tn_tnmn
I was looking at going to this last year but then couldn't make it. It looked v good on paper so interesting to hear otherwise as I was thinking about it this year. I shall see if you can do day visit as I may just take the camper but stay at my friends on the island. Maybe I could tag on the end of the drive out A quick plug for my friends place if anyone is near wootton. They have a dairy farm with a lovely shop and cafe (and B&B) briddlesford lodge farm http://www.briddlesfordlodgefarm.com/
Hi Stuart, I don't know but I can't see how they could stop someone tagging on the end in a VW. I reckon they'd want as many as poss to make a visual.
