Gossard Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 This would be perfect weather, not to hot and no rain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarbhoy1888 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 would be cracking weather must admit i feel that queuing in the sun is a part of the festival, my rucksack is perfect for lying against for a non-drinker (alcohol) how much would you budget per day ?

kris0624 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Think my ferry leaves Dover at about midday on the Wednesday so I'll probably be drinking in the queue for opening at 4! That weather is looking good at the minute. Lets keep all things crossed that there isn't a turn for the worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themangus Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Keep the faith indeed! So the train booking has turned out to be a nightmare for me... The tickets are expensive anyway, so if this one last contact w/ customer services doesn't work out - I'll be forgetting it and just buying tickets when we arrive. I'll also be in Leuven on the Wednesday night, I'd be happy to catch up w/ any / all of you guys who are doing similar for a couple of beers...

blitzkriegbop Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 One question for those who've been to RW before. Last year we stayed at A4 and there were plenty of tents with food. And it was wery convenient to eat while walking to/from festivalsite. This year we want to stay at C camping. I wonder if we could find such tents there?

BiffyClyro95 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 How abundant are places to get tokens and apart from lockers/showers and stuff does every food/drink place take tokens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kris0624 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 My mate asked an important question last night, and I realised I had no idea... Are beers 1 or 2 tokens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyHorse Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 beers = one token but they're fairly small - half pint. we'll be camping in c3, it's a fair walk but has it's advantages - less rowdy teenagers for one they've got a great tent for food, and you can also nip in via town to pick up a sandwich on way in to festival getting very excited today as i realised it's only 3 weekends away.

Duff Man Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I thought there weren't any rowdy teenagers cos it was really laid-back? Very excited now, leaving in 10 days. Was looking at the line-up again last night, honestly can't find a better festival line-up anywhere else in the world this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Evans Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 Hey...8 of us catching the train from sunny south wales to Brussels for the night on the Tuesday...then heading to the festival with the free train ticket on the Wednesday using the XL camping ticket....Been to benicassim twice and a few UK festivals, just wondering if anyone could give me some quick and helpful information for the festival...mainly how busy it will be at train stations, best campsites, best food and drink options..where is the best place to buy etc and getting from Leuven train station to the campsites. Can't Waitttt. Ryan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted June 23, 2013 Report Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) 1. Trains are quite busy, but you should still get a seat and its only 20 - 30 mins anyway. 2. There's shuttle buses outside leuven train station to take you to the festival site. 3. Food is your usual festival stuff. 4. Alcohol is limitied on choice, but plenty of cold lager on tap. 5 as your XL camping your limitied to a2,a3 and a4. Myself have always gone in a2 and has Been ok.
