Campervan tickets arrived check your envelope

[Smeble]

My tickets arrived today including campervan ticket, I know others have said theirs haven't arrived with admission tickets and are being sent separately, I nearly missed them in the envelope, check your envelope again and query with see if they are definitely being sent separately.

The same with us. Tickets arrived all together today.

The See tickets e mail yesterday only mentioned the 2 entry tickets and not the campervan pass.

I guess that they have just printed, so those who had tickets earlier didn't get the CV pass at the same time.

Our campervan ticket arrived with our tickets this morning. I was so surprised. A relief really as one less envelope to worry about!!!

The hill down to Gate C where you enter the site is fondly known as the Hill of Death! (is ok!). Stand at the top of the hill particularly when getting dark and just look and look! Won't say more but you will be blown away!!!

Isn't your campervans ticket personalised this year? May have a job selling it on but good luck.

The hill of death is the in reality the hill of mild inconvenience and even if you are in e17 which is as about as far as you get get from the gate it's not that big a deal, 20 min if that.

How is the hill of death if recovering from a recent illness? Just how bad is it?

It's a steep 100 metre hill that is manageable for a healthy person with no extra luggage. A healthy person with a trolley or pram then it's a nightmare.

Depends what sort of illness, but as an example, I'd say someone with mild breathing problems would find it a struggle, especially at night with the smokey atmosphere.

It's a steepish hill with a wide track going down it. There's the option of going straight up and down, or the longer way of walking at 45° to the slope to make it easier on the legs. Take your time and you'll do it, and there's the chance of stopping to rest on the way, just watch out for the crowds.

Thanks all!! Doesn't look 'too' bad. Like the idea of going around!

I like the idea of a good rest!

Mine arrived this morning. Does the campervan ticket get swapped for a sticker (like for the carparks) on site does anyone know? Was hoping for a sticker for the van to display all year round so people think I'm proper cool.

I live in the middle of the pennines. That hill is nothing. There are steeper bowling greens than that round here. 

[BeddyDriver]

haha I know that..We are from Devon so know how real hills feel.... for some reason though what looks like a little pimple in the photo feels like trekking in the Himalayas at the end of a long day

In 2015 they stopped people going straight up and down and you had to go off to the side, they said it was for safety, don't know if they did that last years as we were in the West. Going straight up is a slog (we have 2 kids in a pram!) but going along the 45 deg route really makes a big difference to how easy or hard it is
