While it's still fresh in my mind (and to distract myself from Glasto) I thought I'd share some snaps and tales from my recent Isle of Wight adventure!
As I mentioned the other day, I went to Isle of Wight Festival this year with some chums - most of which were at IOW 2010 when I last went, so it was a reunion! - and was also blogging for Motel Rocks. You can read about what we go up to here, but I thought I'd give you guys a few extra photos that didn't make it to the Motel blog! Enjoy!
