Can anyone tell me how far it is from the car park to the family field?
I have a heavy tent and two young'ns. If it is a long walk I'll bring a trolley or something.

Also I'm likely to be arriving late, is the family field going to be packed?

I dont think its too far but if your turning up late u'll be parked further away so its always handy to take a trolley anyway, I take a wheelbarrow just to save my back as im sure my wife thinks I was a cart horse in a previous life.

Anything from 10-20 mins walk each way dependent on weather and crowds.
Bring a trolley/wheelbarrow. As for the kids, they have to carry stuff as well!!!!

Arrived late last year and ended up quite a step from parking and ended up on a pretty lumpy patch. I get my two kids to carry as much as poss but I seem to be back and forth a fair bit between car and pitch. Wheel barrow definitely a good idea - think I'll get a folding one for this year. Car too small for regular one. Good luck.

Cheers guys

I've been to Endorse it for years and the car park seems to be getting further and further from the family field. Nearly crippled me last year.

You can recognise us guys who have to lug ten tons of clobber from car to pitch, sans barrow. We pitch up at the bar way later than everyone else, red-faced, exhausted and clutching our backs while groaning into our first pint of cider. Such fun - such devotion:-)
