Run To The Sun cont.

Saturday 2^Nd June:

It was my dad’s birthday on this day which meant it was only 25 days till mine wooo! After about a billion turns to try get some signal it finally worked and I was able to wish him happy birthday! The signal was not very good at all though so it was a short and sweet conversation. Did we explore the campsite today? Oh no, we looked through the footage from the night before, put it all from the memory cards on to the laptop to free up the space for the next two nights! We put all the cameras on charge and showed the group some of the footage. All good news so far because they were all very impressed with what we had managed to capture of the night! Had another pretty chilled out time until about 3.30pm when I finally got my way and we went exploring down by the main arena. We went in the amusement arcade and put £4 into the 2p shufflers and managed to get £2.40 back out! That’s what I call winnings! After this I wanted a competition with Scott to see who could last the longest on one of them robotic moving bull things. I lasted 28 seconds and thought for sure I was the loser, till Scott got on and fell off after 10! Rubbish! He beat me on the surfboard though :( even if I did manage 72 seconds, I think I did pretty well but unfortunately not long enough! Then for the part that was even more fun….AQUAZORBING! Oh my gosh, this was the hardest, most tiring, sweatiest, warmest and most fun thing in the world! £10 for ten minutes for two people, bit expensive but still I would totally do it again! Every time one person stands up the other one falls over, it’s amazing! If you have never done it then absolutely go for it if you ever get the chance! Probably one of the major highlights of the whole weekend for me! After this we had a slush! Not had one of them in YEARS! Things have changed since I was little though considering I wanted to put vodka in this one, but I suppose being 18 does that to you!

Back to the caravan then to wait for the acts for the evening, more filming to do! We also got new caravan mates today: Amber and Cyd – dancers, stilts and FIRE! They were so lovely, I have never met lovelier people I don’t think! We had to wait for them to get ready though because they did not know where the arena was so we waited for them and walked them down. Amber picked up a drunken friend along the way but we soon ditched the friend when we went through the back stage entrance and she was not allowed in! As soon as we got there I went straight to the balcony and Scott went straight out into the crowd. The first act out were the giant lego men! And I have to say, these were definitely my favourite of all the costumes! If I knew how to post pictures and videos on here I’d put on some of the footage and pictures of the different costumes but unfortunately I have no idea quite how to work this yet! After this the FuturisChicks were out, the GloGirls, the dancers and the fire acts! Also the big heads of David Bowie, Amy Winehouse and Freddy Mercury. These were AMAZING costumes as well, so so so good in the crowd, a real crowd pleaser! The best part of this act was the fact that a man was in the Winehouse costume so all the men in the crowd got a bit of a shock when they lifted up the skirt for a quick peak! Got an eyeful that’s for sure! There were more stage shows as well tonight. Consisting of fire, fire, fire and more fire! They finally got paraffin so there were fire poi, fire breathers, angle grinders and fire dancers! It looked so good. The finale show they put on was absolutely amazing and those who didn’t see it really really missed out!

                I was so glad to get to bed after tonight, so so tiring! Except with two more caravan mates we had visitors of other entertainers into the night who are so extremely loud! Must have just been hyper on the adrenaline for the night! The dancers must have lost some weight in water after the heat in that arena and the quality of their performance. 10 out of 10!
