my first night i was with a girl i had met earlier in my trip and just happend to run into at the bus station!

but the next 3 nights i spent with lilchappy and raeofsunshine from Tpunk...good ppl

I just carried my small backpack most of the time...I didn't run. When I slept, I just put my arms thru my backpack and slept on it..I didn't have any problems.

I guarantee it is almost impossible for a great big meet up in pamplona. The hardest part is finding a park that everyone wants to camp in. Also, the amount of people in the city, make it impossible to spot a T-Punk. Designated times to meet at a neutral location...in front of the bull ring, or train station, would work the best. Meeting at a park, as I tried with some people, was a lost cause because there are so many little parks that when you look on a map, you don't know which one was which.

My best advice is drink a bottle of champange right after the running and take a nap. Wake up and continue the festivities around 3. The city does get quiet during the day in parks, but sleep to close to the street and you will be woken up by street cleaners, and parades. Here are some pics from last year. This guy just came up and passed out on me. Good times.

Here is one of the parks to sleep in...this is at 4 am or so. http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2...3/DSC03816.jpg

Dude... that looks like so much fun.

I hope we can meet up, it would be awesome. But I guess we can leave it up to fate to decide...

Maybe someone should paint a flag or something...

I can definitely now see why people do not recommend more than 1 or 2 nights.

I think I'll just stay until I run out of steam... or get sick of partying... which -speaking from my boring office at work- seem unlikely.

Me and my folks will be there the 9th, and 10th, if anybody wants to meet up. We can only stay one night and will be running in the morn, means we can only party a little.

Hello chaps, me a friend did it last year and had no idea what to expect and were pretty apprehensive to say the least. We had no where to sleep and no idea what to do when we got there.

Like someone mentioned earlier, the best thing to do is book your bags into the town hall, it's something like 5-10 euros for 24 hours. We met a few americans whilst we were there, and they too had no idea what to do so we all stuck together which helped as we could look out for each other.

Regarding sleeping i would recommend partying through the night (as it's probably one of the craziest parties i've experienced and you DONT wanna miss it) doing the run, we did it slightly tipsy not the greatest idea but we survived and sleeping in the park during the day. It's much warmer and a little safer too.

All in all i wish i could go this year but i'm saving for australia now. You can't help but have a good time whilst you're there awesome experience, when i find out how to post pics i'll put a few up.
