Wednesday arrival time

 

I’m currently planning on arriving on Wednesday morning.

 

If we arrived in the car around 11am do you think we should be able to drive more or less straight onto site?

 

I presume with the car parks opening on Tuesday nowarday that there will be fewer if any queues out onto the road the flow of traffic on site is a lot smoother?

 

Also by 12 noon should the gates be clear of people who have slept in cars, or queued over night?

 

Hoping to drive straight in and more or less walk straight on to site.

 

Not too bothered about having slightly limited camping options.

 

Or am I being wildly optimistic?

I think you are spot on with all your thinking there.

I reckon you'll be ok, I usually arrive around then and in 2013 it was weirdly quiet

i think the queue at gate A was finished around 1pm last year, after that you were walking straight in

We arrived at about 11am last year and drove straight into car parks with no queue and through pedestrian gate C with no queue.

For the last 3 festivals I have arrived on site at midday Wednesday (West car parks, driving) and had no queue into car park, no queue into the site.

 

Makes life so much easier if you are happy not camping in Pennards or somewhere similar. I usually camp in Bushy Ground and it's only been about 30-40% full at that point.

Arrived at around 1 - 2ish last year, straight in, no problems. 

This year I would be hoping to arrive between that time again, we made unbelievable time driving last year, we left at 10.30am. Looking forward to saying hello to Bushy Ground again!

My train gets to Castle Cary just after 11. Should be onsite by about 11.45ish from the shuttle bus depending on how many people are at the station waiting for the bus. I do this every year and always find hardly any (if any at all) queues at the station and Gate A.

I'm arriving lunchtime Wednesday this year for the first time, so all the above sounds pleasing to me!

We arrived at about 11am last year and drove straight into car parks with no queue and through pedestrian gate C with no queue.

You drove through the pedestrian gate?  Now that's an entrance!
