Dent Music and Beer Festival 2013 Part 1

We spent the weekend at High Laning caravan site in Dent, Dentdale North Yorkshire.

We last came to this camping and caravan club listed site in 2010 or maybe 2009, not exactly sure.
At the time we came it was the dent show and we were in a tent and the site owners packed us in like sardines.
This time in 2013we are in a caravan, our Swift Charisma 540 and we are still packed in like sardines, there is no 6 metre rule at this site, the more the merrier seems to be the motto. There are probably a thousand units here spread across about 5 or 6 fields and they are all way too close.

 View of our caravan whilst stood on my car, the tents are really close.
 Lots of people at Dent music and beer festival
 Just to prove that the sun does shine in yorkshire here's a photo or two





 The music festival was located very close to the camping fields and was very handy to come and go as you pleased. The bands were all very well received and were professional in their performances.
The organisation of the music tent was excellent with a fantastic sound crew who looked very stressed at times and got a few rounds of applause themselves.









 Some bands were melodic and middle of the road





 Some bands were a little more rock.
Some bands were country music and some bands were irish jig.

VW campers were all seemingly parked together so I assume that they were organised by a vw owners club meet.

Dogs were welcomed at the festival and the midges were out in force
 Nice looking cakes on sale from a pink vw campervan
 Pizzas for sale and cooked in a train locomotive steam box
