Not sure what you mean by security.... if you mean festival staff, they won't mind.
If you mean getting broken into / vandalised, I doubt it. Your car should be safer with you in it, than mine all on its lonesome.
I've been to BnS the last three years and would say you'll be totally grand, come along, no worries
I slept in the car last year no hassle and its really really easy its just another 5 mins walk from where you would probably have ended up camping, you'll make up that time with extra sleep a good few hours of it. Just remember it will be bright when the music stops at 4 am, so have somewhere to block sun light in.
The only issue is your booze. You are only allowed bring in your booze into site on the first go , so stash you booze with someone in the campsite, or else smuggle your booze each time you go in and out.0 -

Thanks,
Griff
We were gonna do the campervan thing this year but few friends pull out, my friend is looking to get rid of the ticket but, I know you can't sell stuff on here anymore

Applied to do the festival volunteering this year but wasn't sure I'd get time off. Turns out I did, so I paid my deposit and am really looking forward to it now! Read your review of '13 and '14 and they really got me in the mood. Great work
Heard from friends the weather was amazing last year so hopefully we get lucky again this year.
I know you do the pre-festival but just wondering if you'd know what sort of duties the general stewards do over the course of the weekend?0 -

Hi Freddiemore I done the weekend volunteering in 2012, I was mainly designated to car park duties that weekend. The work is not really that hard but the pace can be quite hectic on the Friday and Saturday with people arriving, so the time passes fairly well. Most of the time you will be just pointing traffic in a general direction. If its wet then you might have to help with pushing the odd car or van. Sometimes security will tell you to advise motorists to drive in the 2nd gear and to not stall as a car can get stuck in the grass, but only in prolonged wet conditions. Other positions could be arena work which is quite nice as you might be standing in one of the stage areas or you might be put into the camp sites where you just give general info to inquirers and that you are the eyes and ears of the festival, so if you spot some dodgy stuff in the camp site going on, either inform security there, don't tackle a dodgy situation yourself, if you can't get a security guard you should probably phone your volunteer coordinator, Sharon Cronin will be handling the regular stewards this year, so make sure you get her phone number. Call her and she will get security to the spot you are witnessing the trouble. Campsite stewards also have duties like making sure that campers don't set up their tents in emergency fire rescue and ambulance lanes, hence the wooden posts with blue or red rope dotted along paths in the campsite. I can't imagine that much has changed in general duties since 2012, so have a good festival and perhaps we will have a boards meet up there too.
Edit: My review from 2012, will probably have a bit more detail than this post. https://niallmcquaid.wordpress.com/2012/06/27/bodysoul2012/If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)
