Anyone else going isle of eight festival?

We are 'attempting' the IOW festival in June. I say attempting cos no doubt something will happen enroute from Cornwall to Hampshire!! And also as we are introducing our kids (9&4) to their first festival!! Just wondered if any other members are staying on site?
