Phoenix Festival '96
This was my first festival, aged 18.

There was a bit of weed shortage at the time but we scored some seriously strong sensai the night before - a whole quarter. It was, and still is the, the finest I'd ever smoked. As luck would have it we scored an ounce of solid on the train down. We'd already split the sensai 50/50 and my mate was carrying our recently procurred oz.

The train arrives at Stratford-Upn -Avon where we are greeted by throngs of police and cries of 'single file please' and a sniffer dog going up and down the queue.

I got busted - not a great start to the weekend but not the end of the world. The loud cheer and applause from my group of 10-12 chums put a smile on my face and even the nice Customs & Excise chap did a little grin.

We camped behind the Milk Tent and had many randomm visitors over the course of the weekend due to our convenient location (in the shade) and its late night music.
