Campervans Arriving Tuesday

[gilly_utd]

I did search but couldnt find anything on this,

We are taking a campervan van this year into the east campervan field. Was wondering those coming in a campervan on the Tuesday, what time are you planning on leaving where you live? Not really sure how busy it is going to be, especially with them never opening on Tuesday before.

We live in the North West England by Manchester!

We dont want to leave to late and possibly end up in queues of traffic!!

We're coming from Hull there are 3 campervans with us in total but we are staying in a campsite on the Tuesday about an hour from Glasto, so can get a good nights sleep and an early start on the Wednesday, only costing £25 a night per van so bargain really

We're getting the boat over on Monday night and going into the cv fields sometime on Tuesday afternoon with a BBQ and beer, pitching up and chilling for the afternoon/evening

That way we are there and sorted !

We're leaving Milton Keynes at about 8pm and hoping to roll on in to the campervan fields when we get there....doesn't seem to be too much concrete information about this Tuesday malarkey.

We'll be in CV fields sometime tues. Look out for the flying cow windsock

We're heading down from Staffs Tues am Ns meeting up with other members of our cv convoy at around Tues lunchtime trying to get to site early afternoon as fields open from 12

Open from 12

any official link to the 12 o'clock opening of the cv fields? fell an extra day off may be required.

I am thinking of modifying our plan now to leave Telford at around 9pm Tuesday night. That way wew should be on site around midnight, and we would avoid all the serious hassle on Wednesday

We'll be driving down from near Leeds sometime Tuesday morning/early afternoon. Nice easy start to the day with a lie in, most of the van will already be packed, just need to sling a few things on the roofrack and we're off. I can't see there being much of a queue, don't think there are massive numbers of CV people all planning on arriving at the same time, probably just a steady trickle through the gates really.

No idea what time we'll get there as we're in an old VW so 55-60mph all the way. Get there mid afternoon maybe, awning up, can open, bbq on. Heaven

We're in a red and white splitty, feel free to come over, say hi, have a drink and maybe a burnt sauasge!!

ooooo so exciting

We are in the "Glastovan" and hope to be there from lunchtime with a bbq and beers (vino in my case). I've been working so hard and need to celebrate many things so planning on cramming in every second possible!

We're leaving north west about 12:30 so depending on traffic hope to be there around 5ish. BBQ and cider.

We'll be leaving from South Manchester about 6/7pm Tuesday evening to miss the rush hour.

We are aiming to leave Mid Wales about 10ish on the Tuesday. Want to make the most of every minute. We are in the van for only the 2nd time so lots of figuring out of set up! We are in a rather fetching green 20 year old Citreon which will have a peas in a pod windsock if you fancy calling by and sharing a beer

[gilly_utd]

Thanks for all your replies, think we're gonna leave about 9am. Take a nice easy drive down and stop off along the way!

Looking forward to getting there early and setting up ready for Wednesday without the hassle of the traffic!!

See you in campervan fields!

[Nixy]

We're aiming to get there early afternoon - we can happily spend an entire afternoon pottering around setting up Camp Nixon - and like others don't want to miss a minute. Really looking forward to bbq and beers Tuesday night

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I need to ask something campervan field related. When entering the festival for the first time, do people entering through the pedestrian gates from the campervan fields receive different armbands? My sister reckons they do, meaning I won't be able to visit or stay in their camper if I enter via a 'normal' pedestrian gate

[Sam Crawley]

Ahhh you guys are persuading me to hit the site Tue evening now... Not sure what time we'll get down as we have to come round the M25 in rush hour, it'll be 10pm or so before we get there I assume. Alright, food for thought. I guess I was worried there would be stewards running round telling us not to get out of the campers until Wednesday morning?

[rischbrit]

Looks like we are meeting members of our group at Tesco in Shepton at around 12, stocking up on last minute supplies then heading off in convoy to camper van east fields early Tues afternoon. Plenty of time to get there, settled and unpacked with Bbq and beers! We'll be the ones with a bee flag pop over for a tin or two!

Leaving Herefordshire Tuesday Mid. morning with the caravan about 2 1/2 hr. journey, setting up and then chilling with a few beers, can`t wait
