Thats what the bus im planning on getting, why does it take 5 hours ?  

it will take between four and five hours, with a toilet stop and traffic.

I guess its because the bus is picking up people on the way,  there must pick up points dotted along the journey route I reckon.

nah the bus from glasgow has never picked anyone up, it's full when it leaves glasgow. imagine it's the same with happybus.

Always got the train up, and get a taxi from station to campsite, every year had randoms share a taxi with us, Only about £8 and they come pick you up when you're going home on the monday!

Driving. Going up isn't too bad. I get wrecked in the back of my mates car and get pumped listening to who is playing at the weekend all the way, easy drive up normally and a few hours drinking time. Try and get there for midday on the Friday. Getting down however is a complete bastard. I drive back and it's 3 or 4 hours of pure comedown hell only saved by the chilled out ambience of Pink Floyd. Last year was a bitch because there was roadworks coming into Perth adding an hour to the journey. It's sair, not recommended.

I dont drive, but if I did it would be Pink Floyd from John Peels perfumed garden show, Paris Theatre 1971 that would be on the car stereo, especially the Floyd roadies particular version of Echoes with the extra long pings and reverberations.

Got the Happy Buss the past 2 years from Ayr, no problems, cheap, they let you drink/smoke/do whatever on the bus, toilets always worked. Ours picks folk up at buchanan bus station up (so probably see a few of you on it!) and then onwards without stopping to Rockness. First year it stopped at Stirling mind, and always stops there on the way home. Not decided if I'm driving or bus'ing it this year, I love getting the bus and opening the mad dog at 6am and getting the party started!

Got the happybus to rockness 08 titp 08 rockness 09 and creamfields 09. No problems.

Always the same rockness driver, who is sound as f**k. lets you smoke, drink and do f**king anything you want ( weed/coke ) .

Had the music on and let you use the fridge aswell...

Good times! Happybus is better than the f**king festival...Well not really;).
