Woodrow's top ten reasons festivals are good for you!

The festival season is one of summer's highlights for a lot of campers, but have you plucked up the courage?

Here are ten great reasons that you should throw caution to the wind and make this year the year you try festival camping!

• Listening to music: Studies show that listening to music lifts your mood!
• Exercise: With all of the walking and dancing, you are bound to burn calories.
• Being in the sun: UV rays help with the production of Vitamin D, which in turn helps build and maintain strong bones (though don't skimp on the lotion!)
• Getting outdoors: Partake in a pot of ecotherapy and feel better by connecting to Mother Nature.
• Meeting new people: Talking to new people is confidence building and adds to our perspective on life.
• Reconnecting with old friends: There's nothing like being among friends to have fun and release stress.
• Taking a holiday: Escaping from normal life gives your batteries some much-needed time to recharge.
• Being carefree: How often can you let your hair down and just enjoy what's happening around you?
• Trying new things: Going outside your comfort zone makes you grow as a person!
• Memories: Who doesn't like having a great story to tell?
