Festaff travel help

[Glastonburygeek4]

Hi 

 

I'm volunteering with Festaff this year and will attend IOW for the first time. I'm really struggling with travel options... Help please! 

 

My boyfriend and I have to be onsite by 5pm on Wednesday. The cost of taking my car on the ferry to and from Portsmouth is £200 plus the cost of fuel from dover!? I looked into coach and they don't start running until the Thursday! 

 

Looking for ways to get there for as cheap as possible please

What day are you coming back? I know it's further away but have you tried Wightlink from lymington? 

I don't know about other ports but Yarmouth( Wightlink do lymington to Yarmouth) has a bus stop on the road outside the port which should take you to the site, or very close to it at least.

Might LiftShare be of any help? You can either offer spaces in your car or maybe jump in someone else's car?

The ferry companies have got too greedy. Economies of scale suggest that prices should be lower, but they go up every year!

I've just booked a train to Southampton and passenger fare for the ferry to East Cowes. So much cheaper than driving!
