Gate A Status thread 2017

[Franky]

Use this for Gate A updates. 

[DareToDibble]

I like the cut of your jib. Good idea (provided I can actually get signal).

[mjsell]

I'll be in the queue from around 4am I'm guessing, so will drop a few messages from then if anything of note happens.

Hoping to be there for about 7am so will be interesting to see if/how our Quemageddon (I like it) experience differs. I'm preparing for the worst.

[Ged Devereux]

Traffic permitting our coach should be there about half 12 / 1, so updates will be much appreciated 

[fowls]

My coach is due to arrive at 5.30, so might be one of the first public transport to arrive? Fingers crossed it'll be smooth

[Crazyfool01]

hoping to arrive for 7am ish so there is a good spread of timing already on here

[42hamlet]

My group should be getting there between 8-9am tomorrow! Hope you're all ready to get the party started in the queue 

[Guy Incognito]

will probably be arriving at about 3/4pm on the coach so will be great to get an update on the queue/searching. Hoping it wont be quite as hot as 30degrees and that the coach has air con.

[Junglist1981]

We'll arrive around 2pm and I expect to waltz straight in as usual without hardly queuing at all thanks.

Its best to prepare for the worst I think and you wont be disappointed!

In all seriousness tho, I really don't think it will be as bad as we all think.

[kaytee...]

I should be arriving by coach at half 5 in the morning so hoping not too far from the front, never waited too long there in previous years

Exactly. In normal years I am normal in and camp is set up by about 10:30-11:00. I am preparing for about 2-3 today so anything before that will be a nice surprise.

Worst case scenario is lugging all my stuff through the site at 4pm when it is apparently 30c. 

[watsonjm]

In the queue for staff searches. Not going to lie it's slow going. 

[Lucy92]

Arriving sometime around 5pm tomorrow (joys of a late coach)

About this for us too I reckon. Luckily have friends putting my tent up for me.

[kalifire]

I'll be arriving at PGA soon after 4am, hopefully. Hoping to be on site before the heat properly kicks in. 

[Seldom Seen Kid]

I'll be at A from around 6am. On my own so if anyone sees a specky girl on her tod, say hi!

[Madyaker]

@Matt42 is working this gate on Wednesday morning I believe so he might be able to provide us with a few updates but I imagine he'll be pretty busy. My bus leaves Bristol at half 7. I'm guessing I'll be there around 10 but I've no idea really, it depends on traffic I suppose.

[kalifire]

I think Matt's on from lunchtime onwards. 

Where are you PGA folk planning to camp? There's a good argument for plonking the tent next to the gate but I think I'm going to make the journey to either Pennards or Kidney Mead. 

[Madyaker]

Rivermead. No way would I make it to pennards with all the crap I'll be carrying. Plus it'll likely be full by then anyway.

I'm plonking myself opposite the property lock up in darble soon as I get through the gate, always camp here.
