One thing to mention, when I arrived at the checking in desks in 2022, there was a row of toilets right next to registration desks. That was proper thoughtful! Having road all the way from Scotland getting that place of convenience right on arrival was magic! Looking forward to 2023 ABR!
I went to the 2022 festival. It was so well organised you could of asked for more. Free hot tea and coffee at 6am when your going fod a hot shower, fantastic. The choice of food was also great. I really don't know what more they could do. It's definitely 10/10 from me and I'm back again this year
All the toilets and showers were good last year and kept clean. Also, I'm a man of a certain age so I know what you mean 😃😃. Can say the food was great Looking forward to 2023. Bring it On
I loved toilets and showers, that have been worlds festival first class. Next area to improve is poor phone signals. That was a big problem for contactless payments, maps checks, weather forecasts etc. Few mobile, temporarily BTS to spread load from thousands of mobile phones are standards for today's festivals around the world.
Hey Paulina, thank you for the feedback. It's something we're looking into, but this year we were unfortunate in the fact that the main phone mast in the area actually went out of service on the weekend of the festival. It wasn't fixed until after the event.
@@ABRmagazine My guess is that it went out due to overload and come back to service when people move away - that's why telecom companies can be notified in advance that increase load will take place on some areas and they put temporary additional BTS (masts) on festival area to spread load and keep everything up and running reliable. It's good to keep that in mind for next year ;)
I've just bought my first adventure bike, GSA Rallye TE, being delivered 31st Oct, unfortunately I've been out of action for a lot of this year, still waiting for an operation on my legs 21st December this year. If I'm fit enough and riding by the next ABR I'd love to give it a try, I'm a bit worried there won't be any tickets left by the time I know if I can come or not.
We wish you a speedy recovery and hope to see you next year. If you want to be sure of a ticket just remember there is so much to do at the festival even if you are not fit enough to be riding it's still a fun place to be - I can say that from (crash damage) experience.
Hi Andrew, just to expand on our previous response, if it's dry most tyres will be fine for the adventure trail. If it's been raining then it's a completely different story and off-road bias rubber would definitely be recommended.
Hi there, of course, you can bring a camper van to the festival, but please note you will require a vehicle supplement pass, which you can get through our website: www.abrfestival.com In terms of being able to pitch up alongside friends, we are still finalising the site plan and logistics at the moment. If you’d like to contact us closer to the date we will be able to confirm for you then.
Can't wait for it!
Look forward to seeing you there TMF

It's my first one this year and not camped in years, so I thought what have I done?!
This has reassured me and I can't wait now!

Hi This looks fantastic,do you think Pirelli str tyres are ok to use please
Hi Andrew they should be fine for the ABR Festival

Does anyone know if it's ok to bring a camper van there and pitch up alongside my mates tents, or is that a different section of a campsite?
