After Friday's arrival buzz and Saturday's full-on festivities, Sunday had a very different feel — that lovely chilled, festival-closing vibe where everyone's smiling through slightly heavy eyes and nobody's in a rush to go anywhere.
The weather was glorious. Blue skies, warm sunshine and a campsite full of beautiful vans soaking it all up.

Our neighbours' stunning black T5 DUBedition was catching the morning sun beautifully — and it turns out they were awarded Best Van. They didn't even know there was a competition. Absolutely deserved.
If you read yesterday's post, you'll know we went full 90s for the Large 90s headline set on Saturday night. Here's proof — Dawn, me, Pippa and Becca doing our best impression of people who definitely didn't stay up too late.
Neon, smiley faces, leg warmers and absolutely zero regrets, ever.
Sunday's music was the perfect wind-down. The Modsteppers — a brilliant local band who got everyone moving and are always a highlight. Tight, energetic and a lot of fun.
Then to close out the whole weekend, the headline act Special Kinda Madness — a Specials and Madness tribute band — brought it all home in style. Ska, two-tone, and a crowd that really didn't want the weekend to end. Brilliant send-off.... and it's not even our style of music!
Of course, Hugo doing what Hugo does best — looking the part as the sun went down on Saturday evening. Bunting up, flags flying (Sussex Day you know) and not a care in the world. ... although the world does seem to need a lot of care at the moment.
Three days, brilliant vans, great music, even better company and sunshine throughout. What more could you want?
Same time next year? Absolutely.
