Summer Festivals

For those of us staying in the UK, a decent summer is a summer with festivals in it.

So spending the Glastonbury weekend in the house, not even making it to Sedbergh, my imagination panicked at being left indoors when the sun was shining outside, so I did a trawl of festivals and here's my rough itinerary, in case it might match yours. Work, of course, might mean any and all of these may get cancelled, but here's sucking my thumb and holding it up to the wind:

JUNE: meetings, going on strike from my nonexistant job, & camping at Lindisfarne.

SAT 9th Durham Miners Gala

SEPTEMBER - would love to start with the End of the Road festival in dorset, purely for the bands, but the money factor should mean i don't go - plus what am I thinking of, spending a festival totaly on my own anyway?
Then 9th Sept off to Malta for Raptorcamp.
