Hiya folks , hope everyone is doing ok ,was wondering is there many folk going to storming the castle in the 1st weekend of September ? and if so what can i expect ? thanks
I love this rally, although I havent had the opportunity to get there in recent years.
Witton Castle is great. Assuming things haven't changed too much since I last attended, there are toilets and hot showers (coins required) at the Castle, and a small provisions shop but as stated it's a long time since I was there.
The guys/gals who run the rally are great and it's well organised. Bands are usually brilliant, saw Levellers there several times in 90's. My kids were tiny but loved the whole thing. There was a family field, so if its still the same I would make sure you are in the right camping area for you.
The food stalls used to be very nice but again it's been a while since I've attended.
I note Angel Fire are playing, they are a reasonably local band to me and played YRBS at Squires last weekend. They always go down well.
If you forget any camping gear, get yourself along to Johnson's of Leeds (army surplus supplies) they have all sorts of stuff available, again local to me and I know them well 😊
Its an awesome rally done this myself for over ten years never miss it have got friend coming from all over uk to meet up with " stop say hi" if passing
Hiya Lindsay ,hope your doing good , thats brilliant info thanks , its crazy after all these years theres still so man festivals and rallies to be discovered , but thats great thanks im definitely going to check this one out thanks x
hi peter , thats great thanks il keep an eye out for yous , thanks also Tracie just hoping its a nice dry one apart from that everything else should take care of itself , thats spot on Izzy thanks ive popped myself down on the list , thats great CID76 ive no idea about what camping fields ect there will be but il keep my eyes open for everyone unless everyone will be scattered all over the place lol
Hiya Lindsay , aww thanks yea will do , apparently theres 2 camping fields , one big open one and one in the woods a bit more private which i think the open one will be more fun but the one in the woods nicer to chill/sleep in so will see when i arrive , for next year im so tempted to pop up a Europe trip in the events with the help of others of-coarse, there used to be 1 trip a year with chris (madscots) to usually germany and it was amazing , loved those trips , its something were missing a wee euro trip once a year, what do you reckon ? x
Aww, C'mon Izz-ster, Shaz is The Midnight Cowboy and to ask him to change his schedule is nigh on impossible. I'm sure he will, ride onto site very, very, quietly. 😲😵
Haha you pair of lovelies have got to know me too well lol , funny thing is i always try and do things in a timely fashion but life always seems to have other plans lol
We pitch up in the far field, guess it’s the wooded one you mention, not really quiet lol. Will keep an eye out for you. We get there lunchtime ish. ----------------------------------------------------

You should use what.three.words to let others know where you've pitched, especially if trying to save a pitch for them, but also to just find each other.
