This was the biggest advert for this rave!!! We marched all the way from Gloucester as naughty teenagers!! X T C all night long

🤘🤪🤘❤❤❤❤

[@surrealmadrid7971]

It really was the world's best flyer lmao ....... It tripled the numbers as soon as it was on the news ha ha ha ...... Good times .... I seem to remember the last song played being 'beloved_ sun rising' but..... I think that was the last song at most open air raves at those times so my LSD memories may be mixed up LOL

[@AlfieGoodrich]

I was there. It was unforgettable. I only lived 15 miles away. There were loads of locals there. The media blew it out of all proportion.

[@gabbajon5654]

no way i cant believe they would do that

[@oosqueezemylemon]

Yep I was there too, fuckin mental!

[@mellytek]

i was there too , walked there with my mates after we finished school :) good times !

[@wesleyashworth5061]

Well I hope you all enjoyed it cos it’s now ruined for everyone else. Well done 👌🏼

Wesley my dog mauled one if the sheep im truly sorry please forgive me sheep head 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏🐑🐏🐏😎

[@Naskeleng]

Thank you so much for keeping a historical record of this. I was there and THIS is what brought in the "criminal justice bill" that made all the cool people leave England.

[@channelzilch]

I was there helping to put up the large marquee mentioned in the report. With the Conspiracy crew. I got there by hitching a lift from London on the Friday afternoon. Got a lift to Junction 18 on the M4 as that was the only directions I had. Stuck my thumb out on the Gloucester Rd there and within a minute I got picked up by a load of hippies in a transit van with about 30 cases of Special Brew in the back. They didn't know exactly where they were going either, but we eventually ended up in the middle of a massive convoy. The police had given up trying to stop it and were stopping other traffic at roundabouts to allow the convoy to go through. Amazing weekend.

[@leebryantravels]

Brilliant love it.

[@jorgeborges7707]

Nearly 30 years ago. I couldn't go because I was living in Berlin at the time. I think this event inspired a lot of people in Europe to kickstart their own free party scene. The Love Parade doubled in size (at least) every year after that. Appy daze!

[@royquatermass7593]

I was there every weekend should be like this proper party nothing like this happens now cos we live in a police state

[@royquatermass7593]

why did the police and media waist so much time chasing us in 92 when their m8 Jimmy Savile and is m8s at the bbc and in government were abusing children

[@Ellez7040]

true , apart from 1 mugger, no crime ,, the police and society victimized us bus people, just for attending a big free party!!

[@ninkbscott]

GET OFF MY LAND YOU COMMON FOLK.. .

[@KingofgraceSARA]

Ahem, police world of a singular order.

[@finsbury8919]

4 days spent at the party to end all parties. A battery borrowed and replaced from a random mini to jump our dead metro. What a party there were some banging blotters going around as well as pills. Respect to all, Circus Warp, tribe, DiY, & bedlam. We live on in mind body & spirit. One love people to all still living on and lost friends & DJ’s. Now get them pennies ready for the Jenny! X

[@Lee-nh5bb]

You didn't show respect to the locals.

[@The_Reality_Filter]

@@Lee-nh5bb Behave! Half the locals were there, the other half were whining like you...

[@TheSkattymare]

wow!! I was there but I don't remember any trouble. This is a very interesting piece of news, I havent seen it before. I do feel sorry for the farmer that lost his sheep - that is so sad, poor man. But it was 3 days of madness for me and lots of fun. The locals need to relax!!

[@davidround6454]

It was epic from a phone call to moreton valence....guided by love and excitement thought all the please drive carefully places waved n clapped by the locals All the way to castle moreton...late fri evening...spiral tribe...the exploding gerbil cafe...it was that good stayed for a week...😊.

Yeah but these scumbags are

[@ВладимирДубровин-б7с]

Yes

[@OSYofRR]

The deep state back in the 90's in full effect. This was such a hit piece on our movement. Sure the littering is bad and we learned later to have clean up crews but they are picking out the few bad apples and not portraying all the good vibes. The neighbors would not have made such a fuss if they were given a couple doves and compensated for the trample grass but I mean that one lady in white was not even a land owner she was brought in as an actress. As far as damaged grass goes I mean BIG DEAl... plant some new seed bet you could find some volunteers to do that.

[@surrealmadrid7971]

Easy to find volunteers...... We had all been growing grass for years..... Experts ha ha ha

[@stuartwass6672]

Was a good party Thing is it's always a few that give the majority a bad name

[@rolandodecamilli8310]

Mate I was trying to convey to my daughter just how big the independent crews were it was like big complete post codes side by side really some of these crews was capable of and did organize big raves in there own right,swear down there was a feeling that everybody had tasted all that lets say for now magic,,and people were aware that this one was going to exceed momentum,man I wish I could explain the energy,,I felt sad for awhile talking to my girl wondering if possibly she might experience the tidel wave of power that came from 30thousand people are here and we want you to connect embrass experience the best you can,hard to get across but so many different firms crews all on same page,it might take awhile but I really hope like Exodus from Luton amovent of the people that makes me a little sad to remember because I can still almost feel the awesome vibe,shut up you old sod ye ye ye here's to the next relizeation +++

[@surrealmadrid7971]

I always wondered if the sheep thing was real..... The only bad hardcore dog I met on site was always chained to a green bus....Will mention no names but was a well known guy and dog.... Big old pit cross and mastiff type thing.... But pretty sure he was never off lead....all our dogs were used to being around people and cattle so we're pretty well behaved

People take drugs in many places, not just Castlemorton. Alas the brew crew and skag heads, fucked it up for the nice people. Origionaly this was to be Avon Free Festival. Avon police sent them to the next county. As per usual no photos were taken of the horror stories that were told.

[@royquatermass7593]

The po-lice stopped us from having the festival at other more suitable locations like Rodborough fort where we had been invited by the land owner. The authority,s wanted a massive festival at Castle Morton thats why they let it happen there, the travelers only went to Castle Morton because that was the only place that was left there were no plans to have it there and we had been forced to move from other locations?

This was great for everyone who attended for sure. Local residents and farmers not so much…Good to see all the New Age travellers chipped in to pay for the skips at the end…The three new age travellers representing the free party at the end were probably not the best choice to fight their corner…….epic course of events nonetheless!!!

Allowing dogs to massacre sheep is despicable, inexcusable. The other issues (drugs, noise, etc) are passing nuisances, but the sheep can't be brought back to life. The dog owners are a disgrace to humanity.

How about under cover cops setting police dogs on the sheep to agitate a scandal. therefore justifying pushing harsh legislation through like the CJA.

[@squarebobsspongepants4618]

I just answered this above..i was regular festie goer for two yrs and I can assure u dogs were treat like family,beloved dogs were not allowed to go off site on own,owners kept dogs besides them,these were road dogs brought up in festival and site life and not like your house dog who gets off leash and flys off down road,dogs stuck to owners like glue,everyone who had dogs knew where they were at all times and the drug paraphanalia if u look closely was brand new with safety hoods on,if these were used the hoods would been removed..fearmongering
