Private bus and taxi rank logistics ?

[stoopid_name]

Hi All

We'll be arriving by local taxi to the site taxi rank Thursday around 5pm:

• Can you enter the site by both gates A and D ?
• And what's the walk like to the gates and what are the re pros and cons ?

Thanks

Bump, any feedback ?

The taxi rank is normally around Steanbow Farm, and is marked there again on the map which is of the two entrances is probably about 1/2 mile to 3/4 mile from either gate A or D.

Gate A is only really for the bus and coach ticket holders, where as gate D is general admissions so A is probably the quicker moving, but can still be very busy if you arrive as lots of other coaches are arriving. Both are likely to be much quieter by Thursday though

Maybe decide on which gate to use by where you want to camp - Gate A brings you in near the John Peel stage and associated camp sites, where as D brings you out near diary ground or a bit further on the campsites nearer other stage and Arcadia. If you get the chance keep listening to Worthy FM or official twitter feed to see which camp sites have spaces

Thanks very much Phil. I arrived at the festival about 15 years ago by taxi, sounds like it's at the same place. IIRC we walked to the bus station and in gate A but it was a long time ago ! Possibly along the road. Ideally we get to a steward station with camping space info before choosing the gate, was hoping there might be one at the taxi rank. Guess we'll see.
