Kendal Calling 2012

[Flaminglippy]

Just a hypothetical question, cos I don't know if it will happen or not.

My wife's morning sickness is kicking in quite hard and she's come off all her medication which has left her struggling to get around. We're both thinking that maybes 2 festivals in a week will be too much for her, she's talking about going to Wickerman and then staying with her parents whilst me an my daughter go to Kendal. She's gonna leave the final decision until she returns from Wickerman and see how's she's coped.

The issue I have is that I don't drive so my father in law is gonna drop us off if it comes to it, just wondered if there was a decent drop off point where I wouldn't have to cart all my camping stuff a long way, we could ask him to park up in the emperors car park whilst we set up but we'll only have tickets for me and my daughter as I'll give her ticket to one of my friends.

Any suggestions on the best option if we get dropped off ?

Give us a shout when you get there mate and I'll come and give you a hand.

Ha ha, I'm sure the mrs will be chuffed with that suggestion, cheers for the offers. If she doesn't go I could just hire a Sherpa or student to cart the gear around and offer them a free ticket I suppose

[Flaminglippy]

ill send the mrs up to help out aswell

I don't know who they'll clash with but I'm really looking forward to Admiral Fallow. There's a video here http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/events/ehxzp6/acts/axp5d4 from T in the Park and they look ace. Don't know why I haven't listened before

Steve, I'd be tempted to drop naarjtie a PM and explain your situation....if he monitors the forum he'll see that you're a regular poster and the type of punter that the festival caters for - I'm sure he can sort something out for your dad-in-law to drop you off in Emperors Field if it came to it.

I'm sure there will be plenty of us around if hes only able to drop you at the entrance to EF to give you a hand carry your stuff to your chosen pitch.

However, fingers crossed that 'er indoors is feeling up to it.

Definitely aiming to see him in riot jazz tent Sunday night. The atmosphere in there is brilliant and he's got some proper catchy songs

Hi, Having lurked for a few days you all sound like seasoned KC goers ... This will be my first KC and as a newbie just wondering if anyone has a map of the festival from 2011? Hoping to get an idea of the site beforehand.
