2009-06-06 Sat - Strawberry Fields Cambridge Ride

Its a great little fest fo' sure, they tried to stop organizing it as there was so much hassle, carnage for police to clear up, and quite a few people died, overdrunk in the last few years.

Its basically just a load of people getting together in a big park, drinking smoking dope and relaxing listening to music. I think people will love it, especially having just come from a long ride to sit down and chill will feel rewarding. I think its totally worth it, and hopefully a few of us cambridgers will be able to join ya'.

Keep us posted...

It attracts a lot of disparate groups; hippies, bikers, goths, metal-heads, ravers, and a fair few locals of no particular affiliation. Not huge numbers of students as a lot of them still have exams then. The stalls too range from greasy burgers and plastic tat through herbal highs, various varieties of ethical foods, some genuine craftsmen (fancy a posh hammock?) to stalls promoting various issues and alternative politics.

I particularly remember picking up a goat curry and an anarchist pamphlet on Tesla coils one year.
