This is so cool though! Trying to work out how to get from PGA to Mandala where we normally camp, we'd usually go past cyclist camping, over the road, through what is probably now crew/hospitality and down through lower mead, but I guess this won't be accessible now From the map on the official site and the big crew map posted here it looks like the 3 separate John Peel back stage areas will all have public acces tracked between them. So you when you pass the bottom of wicket you should be able to go straight on (where the old gates to hospitality camping were ), come out at the top of the new JP field, and then turn right before the woods.

Yeah it's still a bar, I remember having a drink in / around there last year, it was banging out loads of old reggae tunes while I was there. I can't remember its name for the life of me however...

Caribun Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just to give me an idea of scale and size etc. (as I'm struggling somewhat to get my head around it, please excuse my sheer ignorance), could someone tell me roughly how long it takes me to walk from Pylon (our chosen campsite) to say, John Peel? I might be able to gauge size and distance etc. a bit better then. The map looks amazing, I can't quite get my head around the sheer size though! I mean I knew it was big, but I've never seen a photo like this before! Staggering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't look so far, maybe 5-10 minutes depending on how quick you march and how easily distracted you are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartbreaker Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 @Caribun Have a look through this thread from last year, the walking time chart is a bit out of date being from 2013, so some stages have moved (Arcadia is by the park now, and Spirit of 71 stage is no longer a thing) but it will give you a rough idea of walking times.

Caribun Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Thank you @MattLeam and @Heartbreaker. Very helpful! That walking time chart is a big help, thank you. It's helping to put things into perspective for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretlow Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) If i wanted to mark of places permanently. I.e someone posts something on these boards that's i think is worth seeking out so I can open it when I get to the site and it would still be marked, what would be the best way to do it? Create a list of links? Edit: top work by the way. Really interesting to play with Edited June 3, 2016 by Stretlow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
