How long does it take to walk from wicket family camping to kids field?

[thenavyone]

We didn't get tickets in the first sale but hoping for the resale or might even come by coach.  But howling is that walk from Wicket to Kidz field would you say?

Quite difficult to say, and as most will tell you ,is dependant on the weather.

Was in Lime Kiln ,just the other side of the fence from Wicket ground last year, and i'd say in good weather,and at a reasonable pace, that you could do it in around 15-20 mins.

i have seen you tube video's 

 

some guys films himself walking from one area to the other/ not sure if he has done that walk but it is worth a look

If you click on it, then go to youtube there are other walks listed on the right, might be included among those.

Awesome thanks, found the other but can't find that walk.  I'm thinking 30 wish mins on a good day

I'd say it's about 20-25 mins without delays. Of course, pushing a buggy, walking with a child who wants to look at everything, crowded areas and bad weather would all add time. 

One tip, though. Instead of heading down to JP, then along to pyramid and up to the top, you can take a different route. Leave the gate at the side of Wicket field (instead of the bottom), turn left and go round the top of the hospitality field, down the other side and turn left again onto the path through the nature reserve. This takes you across Michael's Mead and Hawkwell, and along the top edge of the pyramid field. It's probably not any shorter, but there's less gradient, and it means if the JP-Pyramid track or the pyramid field are particularly busy, you can avoid them. 

Having said all that, apparently the JP is moving into the hospitality area this year, so that might all change! Hope it helps, anyway
