Here We, Here We, Here We F*cking Go...

RockNess - Day 1

The day started with the panic of "how the hell do we get all this stuff in the cars?" But we soon squished everything and ourselves into Chelsea and Raoul. (It is important to name your car, mine is called Sylvester. He stayed at home.)

Once we were on the road out first pit stop was at the, eh, Pitstop, a greasy spoon in an old bus, in a layby, somewhere in Aberdeenshire and it is well worth a visit for a bacon butty!

During breakfast there was the sudden realisation that one of our crew had left his tickets at home... eek! So it was back to the 'Deen for Chelsea and onwards to the 'Sneck for Raoul.

Soon enough the crew was altogether again and faced with the next panic of the day: "how the hell do we get all this to the site?" ...quickly followed by "how heavy is this tent?" and "I've never actually put up this tent before..."

But soon enough "The Beast" was erected and it was time for a well earned drink... and right on cue the rain started! However the Beast came into its own and we were all soon seated in the ample 'living room'.

After a wee bit of chill time we set off to the arena. There was such a buzz on site. Lots of happy campers, taking it all in.

And once you're in the arena you can really appreciate the beautiful setting; looking right up Loch Ness, stunning.

Zane Lowe was the first act we saw and he was awesome, totally got the crowd going with cracking tunes and bit of banter.

But the highlight for me was Kasabian, who headlined that night. I'd been hoping to see them for ages and the moment was finally here. I was so excited and they didn't disappoint.

They started with Clubfoot and closed with Fire... couldn't have been happier! They R.O.C.K.E.D.

What a great start to what was going to be an awesome weekend...
