Draw your own Greenbelt Festival map

greenbelt map without all the rubbish I put on it

I’m currently working on my annual cartoon map of the Greenbelt Festival. I say working, what I mean is I’m thinking about beginning to start contemplating it.

In the meantime I thought I’d post a blank version of the 2011 map for you to download (High resolution .gif version, will open in new window). It has the basic layout of the site as it was last year, but without all of my labels and nonsense. Feel free to download it, print it off, draw your tent on it, design a festival of your own making, anything you want. Note that the 2012 site layout may have changed from last year. Apologies, by the way, to those who don’t go to Greenbelt and have no interest in it – please ignore this post.

You can see this year’s map in the Church Times Guide to Greenbelt, available on site from people (possibly me) handing it out, and in the bookshop tent. Also if you are Greenbelt Angel you get one ahead of the festival, so become a Greenbelt Angel.

    Is the queue for Centaur that long already? Best get into it now, then. Remind me, who are we queuing for again?

    Mike, yes, it is generally recommended that one should join any Centaur queues one sees, just in case.

    I was going to erase the various queues and people, but decided not to. I erased just about everything else though.

    I followed that advice last year, and luckily found myself in a queue for my favourite speaker, John Bell. He was looking very well, I thought, clean-shaven suited him, but the audio system did something weird to his voice – he almost sounded American.
    I was also a bit disappointed in the talk, not his usual thing at all. And he didn’t try to get us to sing in four part harmony using karate-chops, which is his normal hilarious finale…

    There’s not many at the main stage this year: did they forget to book anyone good?

    I think there could be a version of this with a scale for the number of puddles/ mini-lakes/ oceans if it doesn’t stop raining.

    Also, in other news, our IT have now decided I am allowed to read your site again. You are no longer all wonky.

    Mike – thank you. I smiled loudly.

    Peter – all of my numbers of figures are a bit dubious. It doesn’t help that when making this version I erased some queues on a whim, but not others.

    Sara – I could draw my 2012 map with a variety of lakes / arks etc – though that would be the surest way to guarantee a last-minute heatwave. Oh, glad your IT have seen the light and unwonkiness has been restored.

  7. Sara from the library says:

    So if you *don’t* draw a map with lakes/ arks/ paired animals and we therefore continued to be rained on, all mud is your fault?

    In summary, yes. Aside: have a good time on your travels.

    I think this year you ought to add some more controversial comments like.

    Usually completely heretical here
    Here nice young ladies who know thier place
    serve coffee
    Politicians from the wrong party sometimes speak here :-)
