Camp Loner / Going Alone

[bca]

Just realised that there's no Camp Orange entrance/exit, so getting to and from Tesco is going to be a fair chunk more difficult than I realised before! Nightmare!

 

I wonder why there's no orange gate this year? Maybe because they've reworked the day ticket/green entrance?

 

For food, Waitrose and Aldi are a 5-10 min walk from red gate (green may be easier so you don't have to walk through red and it looks like green gate comes out right next to red gate). There's normally a few stalls just outside red gate selling beer, (cheaper) firewood and pizza (all the essentials).

 

Edit:

 

Just looked at the map closer - they've whacked a supermarket where orange gate would be situated, so looks like they're trying to keep you on-site rather than going to tesco.

I saw the market thing, I figured it'd probably wind up a fair bit more expensive than Tesco, Waitrose or Aldi. I'll probably just wind up bringing a bit with me to save having to do a journey straight away We'll work it out! And like has been said, we're near the middle and it'll be an amazing time no matter what!

I believe we are in a very good location though.

I'll walk to Tesco from Orange just to prove a point then! I don't mind to be honest. It's a good spot and I only plan on doing one booze/food run on the Thursday so it's no biggy how about everyone else?

I'm only planning on doing one booze/food run to Tesco, no biggie for me on the Thursday.

there should be one its a mini exit it's been there every other year couldn't see why not this year, worse comes to worse hold as many crates as alcohol as possible!

I'm 100% going out to the Tescos to get my booze, water and food on the Wednesday, the crowds are too much from Thursday onwards.

 

Anyone wanna join me on this one?

[laylas1995]

I will join the trip to tesco on the wednesday, I am ordering a campung chair and sending it there so I don't have to take it on the train! Plus need food and booze of course

Yeah sure, Wednesday or Thursday. I won't get there till the evening though.

[foihnula]

I've got my massive trolley. Get the feeling it'll come in handy

[kurtwba]

Because it looks like it's going to be rain if anyone fancys we can all throw a couple of £ in and buy a gazebo so we can sit around a camp fire and be dry.

[JustNick]

Group Tesco journey on Wednesday sounds excellent! It'll be like some David Attenborough animal migration moment! hahaha

[foihnula]

Didn't someone say they have a gazebo? If not shall we all just chip in once we're there?

[JustNick]

I'm alright for chipping in! I can't remember if someone did or not, but yeah buying one's an option

[Chris_Hayter88]

You might be referring to me haha

[bca]

I do have one from last year, I can't remember what state it come back in though or if it's all there! I will double check tonight.

that would be ace if you could bring one if not they are pretty cheap if we all chip in.

[laylas1995]

You can order things through tesco direct and collect it at local stores, so you just chose your local store to be the one at reading.

I am extremely puzzled at oneself for not placing My Nu Leng among my 'To See' list...

 

I believe I may have just committed a cardinal sin
