This year we decided to try out a little festival that we had not heard of before ...
It was located in the beautiful Peak District, instantly making the event sound appealing, a boss location for a festie and the line-up had literally 3s of good bands on it.

| Our campsite. |
So our campsite seemed nice enough, grassy, tents everywhere, usual camping situation, minus the boys next door to us who were urinating on their own belongings...bit weird.

| Sun setting on day 1 of 'Y Not' Fest |
There were various fine food establishments which we explored at length, including one place where we got this absolutely delicious hummus, halloumi wrap, amazing, definitely a high point of the weekend for us, on a par only with the chocolate brownie and coffee that we had on days 2 & 3. Yum.

| tried and toasted - HA! |
 |
| Watching a band...The Duke Spirit |
There were a couple of bands that we wanted to check out, which we did,
Go! Team was very exciting on Friday night, they had TWO drummers, enjoyed that element very much.
'
Dog Is Dead' seemed like a cool band, other than being called 'Dog Is Dead' which seemed really quite a strange name for a band... Enjoyed their set though.

| Sun setting on Day 2 |
There was a neon sand pit situation...

 |
| cool |

| Party in the sand pit |
Unfortunately the weather was a bit on the rainy side during our stint at Y-Not, a little disappointing, we were expecting to bask in sunshine non-stop for the whole weekend, not sure why we expected that actually...
 |
| bit cloudy... |

| rain. |

| The sun making a brief appearance... |
On the last night we had a good old dance in the best tent we found, the bass was so PHAT in there that it actually hurt a bit, the other health risk was a man dancing around so viciously with very spikey, gangley elbows that we had to keep an eye on.
 |
| night time, dance tent, rain outside |
 |
| Is that a tear on LL's face, no it's rain. |
All in all a fun weekend, musically speaking it did not blow our minds (it blew our ears off at points) but in terms of delicious chocolate brownie eating and having a little L O L it was quite alright by us... Y NOT.
