When you think of camping at a UK music festival, be it T in the Park, Leeds or V, comfort is not usually the first thing that springs to mind. Seasoned festivalgoers will certainly understand what I am talking about, as it is normally a free-for-all in terms of space to pitch a tent and the facilities are often overused and the situation gets worse by the day.

This is why many music fans now choose to turn up at their favourite festival in a campervan or motorhome they have hired for the duration of the event. In terms of comfort, these mobile homes are second to none and can give you a decent night’s rest at the end of a long day stood up on your feet.

For your home on wheels, you can make good use of campervan rental and take your place in the campervan field. You can enjoy the many benefits that this gives you in terms of facilities and space, but like many things, you usually need to book your tickets well in advance.

Once you do this you can have total peace of mind that a pitch of land is being reserved especially for you and your travelling companions.

Tickets to this year’s Reading and Leeds festivals went on general sale this week after the headliners were announced as The Strokes, My Chemical Romance and Muse. The popular joint festivals always guarantee to bring in the best of rock and indie to their weekend bill.

If you are into your guitar music, although there are also plenty of alternative and dance acts on show, then Leeds / Reading may be the festival for you. The fact that there is a choice of north and south locations makes it easier for festival goers to get there and the August bank holiday weekend usually brings in the good weather.

The 2011 event is due to take place between the 26th and 28th of August at Branham Park in Leeds and at Little John’s Farm in Reading.

The best way to make the make the most of a festival like this is to get the weekend pass which also includes camping. These tickets can be purchased online from genuine sources such as See Tickets, Ticketmaster and Viagogo.

When you decide to use the camping facilities at the festival, if the thought of living in a cramped tent puts you off, why not consider campervan hire, to enjoy your stay in comfort?

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race has been part of the tradition between the two universities since the challenge was first put to the former by Cambridge students back in March 1829. Ever since then, the rematch of the race has been enjoyed by the many thousands of spectators who come to watch from all over the world.
