Traffic

I was yellow car park too, closest to pedestrian gate A. Left at 1.30am, absolutely no traffic at all until about ten miles after Pilton. Sorry, can't remember the road names - it was where two A roads join heading in the Bristol direction. Was in slow traffic for about 20 minutes, but there was no traffic lights in place at that time, just a give way.

I think I left at the right time.

Managed to get out at 11. There were no marshals til 10 apart from this one girl who just directed everyone over the bridge...eventually more people arrived an we noticed some people being directed a different way so we went that way and were out in ten mins

Parked in blue 11, through the camper van fields and through gate c. Packed up the campsite (leaving nothing but yellow grass) at 6-30, breakfasted and car loaded by 8-15, drove straight out and found pretty much no traffic anywhere. Bloody long drive back home though and now I'm on the sofa watching the footy and hoping dinner will hurry up.

Pieminister and mash tags, in case you're wondering!

Left at 6.30am from Orange car park with no problems at all. My only issue was the traffic in central Bristol at rush hour. But I think I'd take that over the Glastonbury queues by the sounds of things

went straight after kasabian, drove straight out, up into bristol and onto m5 easy, one or two "exit routes" had taxis and stuff coming the other way not easy on them tight roads

Left Blue (11?) at 1130, back into London for 4pm, with two stops totalling an hour in between. 3.5-4 hours travelling, pretty good going. Last year was a total nightmare (same leaving time, car park etc.), but pre-planned the route and had a competent co-pilot this year! Basically circumnavigating as soon as we saw trouble ahead.

Routed up to M5, planned to go via. Bristol, but ended up going via Trowbridge/Bath. A303 is not your friend, any congestion - you are screwed!

I was in Pink 54, an hour's walk from where I camped, but it only took 20-30 minutes to get off site. Still a weirdly long time though, especially when you think about how quick and easy it is to drive out of Bestival.

Left camp at 5 am. Van was parked in Yellow 31 very very close to A. Maybe 4th row back as we walked back a mate was a bit hammered and just kept walking with all his stuff as we went to the van. He walked through loads of carparks. We had to go back to camp as we didnt know where he had gone. We was on the verge of leaving and we the gets a phone call at 6am that he was lost and had manage to charge his phone in some randoms car. So we got out of the carpark onto the road about 6.30.The Queue at the gate was about 10 cars, maybe 10 mins wait. The roads then wer a steady 25 mph into town, before hitting the work commuters. Was like any town at 7am, made the motor in about a hour of leaving the car park. It was a standard motorway speed from then on all the way back to bradford.

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
