Last year there was loads of campervans all queing up to leave while we was still partying on the sunday night, so can you leave then but not sure how long it will take you to get out as the q's didnt look they were moving fast from what I remember....good luck, were campervanning it too, we leave after lunch time on the sunday when the q's have thinned out a bit, i'm hoping the traffic wont be too bad as we will be on a time check too x

Never understood why people leave by choice on Sunday night. It means you can't get smashed during the Sunday, you'll be knackered driving home and you miss out of the Sunday night campsite banter.

I'd liken it to pulling out before you come.

(Sorry).

Some of my friends used to leave after the Headliner on he Sunday because they did not want to sit in traffic on the Monday, my way round this is to stay in bed late on the Monday monring, get up and have breakfast, sometimes free as the vans are closing up, have a game of rugby with people left over personal belonging and then walk to the car mid afternoon and drive straight off the car park

That's what we intend to do this year.
