FACEBOOK CHALLENGE WEEK FOUR
So this week's Facebook challenge was to get on stage at Beach Break...
... and I did! Here is a snap of me on stage with Queen's English at Beach Break (pretending to be a tiny hiphop diva) :)

BEACH BREAK DAY THREE
Hidee hi!
Beach Break Day Three was the best of all!! In the morning, I went off as usual to go stick my head under a tap and wake myself up and brush my teeth. While my head was all covered in silly foam, I got talking to two guys at the tap - Ash and Tom - and they invited me to join them and their friends to head along to the beach for the morning. Now, until then, i hadn't actually visited the beach associated with Beach Break - so jumped at the chance. Turns out Ash manages Tom's hip hop band called Queens English - and they were going to perform later that night. We wandered off to the beach - and it was totally deserted and incredibly beautiful.
We played football in the sand and went swimming and played volleyball with some nets and got sunburnt... and saw some massive jelly fish too! We then headed back to the campsite, brushed off the sand and had a late breakfast. What an amazing start to the day! Back in the arena, I watched some off the incredible acrobatics of the Par Cours chaps and then did an interview with Marc Roberts who is in charge of booking the bands for Beach Break. I then did an interview with beatboxer Beardyman - who performed later on on the mainstage.
Later that afternoon, some of my friends conducted a powder-paint-fight in the main area. The whole crowd were covered in showers of amazing colours - everyone dancing and laughing (and trying not to get paint in their mouths). Check out my arm post-paint-fight!
After that, me and my pal Will went off to watch Queen's English play - they were great! - and then headed off to various different clubs/tents/parties around the site - making the most of the last evening. We went to an amazing tiny club called Cowbunga - I could only just stand up in it and i'm 5 foot 2! It was done up like a living room and can only fit about 20 people - so much fun! We also went to a little tent called Jungle Is Tiny and danced on the grass. Good times.
After that - about 2am - I was ready for some sleep. I could feel myself getting a bit poorly sick, so went to bed...
Beach Break rules!

FESTIVAL FUN
There seem to be sooo many fun fare rides at festivals this year - more so than ever. I personally can't think of anything worse than paying to be thrown around in the sky when you've spent all day outside getting sunburnt and you're rushing off to go dance in a tent! But, each to their own... at least it makes for good photos!

BEACH BREAK DAY ONE
Good morning all!
Katie here sat in the press area of Beach Break in Wales. There has been pretty bad internet connection - so will update when I can and let everyone read/see all the full pics and videos on my return.
The festival is set by a beach (as the name suggests) in a massive field surrounded by forests and trees. It's completley gorgeous and once again I've been lucky with the weather as it's been super hot and sunny since I arrived. Right now there is barely a cloud in the sky! Lovely stuff.
Yesterday was a good day. I arrived around lunchtime and set about exploring the site. There are the usual fun stalls and places to eat as well as cool extra stuff like parcours performers, belly dancing classes, tea tents and more.
A few of my friends are running a stall painting moustaches and beards onto the faces of willing festival goers. So naturally I took part..
However, I did wipe it off to do a nice interview with Dan Le Sac and Scroobious Pip (video interview to follow!). They were lovely and really interested by this whole crazy job!
I then watched them perform on the main stage as well as Plan B and The Futureheads. Me and my pals then headed over to the big top tent in another field to see Sub Focus and more. The tent was so packed that people were just dancing on the grass outside. A lot of fun! We then headed to a smaller tent where some breakdancers were doing some demonstrations.. eventually ending in the whole crowd shaking their limbs to Madonna and Rhianna and more. We even managed to get a limbo line started with a bit of string. Classy.
I ended up very cold in my tent and have decided that this evening I will put on alllllllllll my clothes in an attempt to combat night freeze. I'm too boney - that's the trouble!
This morning I washed my hair under a cold tap (getting good at this!), baby wiped my face and had a coffee. What more does a festival goer need?!
I might visit the beach today as well as do a few interviews with bands/artists and festival goers.
Fun times.
Thanks for reading xx

OFF TO BEACH BREAK!
Howdy doody readers. 10am here in the UK and I'm already well on my way to festival number 4 - Beach Break Live!
I'm heading off on a train to Wales to go enjoy the super sights of the valleys and some grand live music too.
I've got my sleeping bag, straw hat and waterproof jacket - so prepared for all weather options.
I think I'm going to turn into some kind of packing expert pretty quickly - refining exactly what's needed for a perfect festival experience. I learnt from Isle Of Wight that it's good to carry some mini layers with you during the day, as well as suncream and loo roll. Then you're pretty much set!
Anyhoo.... Week 4 has begun! Yeeeee haaaa!!
