Anybody else really looking forward to The View?

Just been listening to their new album on holiday and it has some cracking tracks, also got a very decent back catalogue.

1 x Full weekend ticket with camping for sale. Selling due to girlfriend doing ACL in knee. Inbox me if interested. We only want face value for ticket. Thanks

Saw them in 2009 at Glastonbury but they did nothing for me - they were/are going to be one of the main stage bands I'd probably skip.

[ramragon]

Sounds like a plan. Expecting stage times and TBC`s will be sorted in the next couple of days. Suspect Jake Bugg could be on around 6pm and would like to catch him as theres not much else outside the Headliners. Expecting to spend alot of time in the Solus tent....... Woops, this is probably the wrong forum for this !!

Is there a possibly that King Charles will be followed by Craig Charles on the Sunday at Kendal. That would be brilliant, and a tad confusing - at that stage in the game !

[Jonjo]

The View don't belong outdoors (in any shape or form).

[Mr_Grump]

The forecast seems to be shaping up.....

We've got weekend tickets but cant come up til Saturday...can someone give me an idea of where we would be able to camp? I know we'll be on the outskirts but just wondering what field we should head to really to save time as I'm sure we'll be cutting it fine for the first lot of bands!

And on that note....how early will Dodgy be on do we think?

[ramragon]

Looking at the line up I would imagine dodgy will be on around 3pm,

Well that's my last night shift done, I'm officially on holiday for best part of 3 weeks, leaving for Wickerman country tomorrow before heading to Kendal next week

Cheeky whiskey to celebrate I think !

Right people, does anyone have any idea of how we are to get to the Emperors Fields?

Do we still have to drive in a different way?

Ta xx

[Jacko450]

I also must bore you all with questions..... Apologies in advance.

1. What time is good arrive on the Thursday?

2. Is there a seperate entrance for the Emperors, did NARTJE clarify this?

Thanks all

[Lillybef]

Nothing has been clarified yet...last year for me was simple - straight off the A66 onto the A6 for 4 miles then there.....this year, a week to go, still no idea.

As for an arrival time, I'm of the view "the earlier, the better"....and for that, we're aiming to be on site by 1pm Thursday (leaving West Yorkshire 10:30/11am).

Yup...you have to drive in backwards, blindfolded with your head out of the sunroof and whilst an extra from Hollyoaks gives you instructions over a headset in a strong fake Portugese accent...

[Mr_Grump]

Would ideally like to know so that we can sort out what time to set off etc, though we are only in Blackburn so dont have far to travel.

Looking at having a pub lunch first with the aim of getting there for 3ish.

[Lillybef]

Irrespective of how you access Emperors Field, as you're driving from the south you'll leave the M6 at junction 39....however, those camping in EF who are driving from the North or East could potentially be faced with an additional 20 miles of driving if we have to access the site with the normal campsite crowd.

Those getting taxis from Penrith could be hit with a whopping fare if the latter is the case as they'll have to head 13 miles south on the M6 and then 7 miles north off the M6!!
