Padgey Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Seeing as everyone's location is becoming a hot topic on the Techies thread I thought I'd start a new thread to find out where everyone is travelling from for Glastonbury 2015. I'm travelling from West London although originally from near Middlesbrough, where my mate is travelling down from. He travels down on the Tuesday to mine then we head to Pilton early on Tuesday morning. I chatted to a lot of people from Scotland at this years festival, their journey to and from the festival in campervans must've been a mission. How long does it usually take people to get to the festival from where they travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douzeper Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Travelling from Antrim. 1 hour queuing, 2.5 hour boat Journey, 10 hour drive. In campervan so can't complain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little_jim Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Coming from Basildon in Essex takes around 3-4 hours as long as the M25 is clear it tends to be a good run.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffieldlady Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Sheffield, takes a little longer on the coach because they usually need a break to they don't go over on their houses. I usually reward myself with a service station chocolate bar.. 4 hours usually! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ipayne Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 York, 4 and a half hours with out traffic plus the queuing, although we're coming down on the Thursday so hopefully the traffic will be a bit better than the Wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
