On arriving at the rendezvous the gathered trippers sat and awaited further instructions, delivered by a member of the Alice In Wonderland entourage..."

It started at 10:00pm and finished at 10:00am and the film Dr Who and the Daleks played all night - backwards! The girl wearing nothing but cling film and covered in green slime also stood in a corner and played the violin!
