Latitude Festival, Henham Park, Southwold, Suffolk - 17th July 2014
It's another session for the Camper Van at nearby Latitude Festival. This year, Isobel encourages some of the "Mommy Mafia" to come along too, which makes things a little easier as the flock of children can entertain themselves to some extent, and also this year we're parked right by the festival edge of Family Campervans, which saves on the thousand-mile yomp between camp and venue. There is however the added complication that the Friday night clashes with a BBs gig in Banham, so Nosher brings the bike along and cycles the 28-ish miles back home in 30º+ heat to do the gig, before catching the bus back from Diss station the next day.
