He's good at lugging. It's his calling. There were direct coaches from Heathrow last year too. I suppose from Gatwick the easiest way would be to get on the Gatwick to Victoria coach station bus (6quid - loads per day. though it takes ages) and then get the National Express coach to the festival out again. Waffling now -sorry! Thank you so very much! That is such a kind, thoughtful offer! Is it silly that I'm teary eyed right now? THANK YOU. I will be going with a friend (we'll be flying Amsterdam-Bristol and catching a Northern Express coach from/to the airport), now I just have to convince (hire) her to be my porter. I would still love to buy you and your good-at-lugging hubby a beer or two! I will let you know where I end up staying Again, thank you.

It’s just outside gate D maybe 10/15 mins walk. if I can find it I will share the pin I had to drop on the map to find my way at home each night! That would be good to see if possible please? From looking at there site it seems they may be moving this year though so i'm asking them also. What tent did you have there? And was it worth the £££ in your opinion?!

Ohh btw big hello to all of those who went to the Efestival gathering last year. Hi. I've gone for Ziggu. Mainly due to it having fully furnished belle tents for a reasonable price. I would never normally do this option, but it's my 40th, so it's a treat. The reviews look good and although it's off site the shuttle service gets good feedback. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They charge per person.... so 2 people in a tent = £799.... 6 people in the very same tent = £1399 How can that be justified? Things just dont work like that unless its a bloody all inclusive hotel where they provide all your meals and food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im worried far too many people are going to be trying for WV this year though... there are a limited number of bell tents etc... may end up stuck with bog standed scout tents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use scout tents . My query was more about how much lovefields cost as it seemed expensive . But I'm not sure of some just pay to pitch own tent caravan there .

kalifire Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Is Worthy View large enough for the tents towards the back to be annoyingly far away from the gate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed in the Tipis last year, pretty much as far away as you can get. A bit of a mission after a whole day away, especially after the hill, but not overbearingly so.

briddj Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Couldn't believe how quickly Worthy View sold out for 2017 compared to 2015.

Cheers Not too much noise from festival itself , on site depends who is nearby, bring ear plugs but don’t expect too much sleep . No queues of notefor showers when we used them , same for shuttles (last night leaving festival site about ten minutes was longest) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year we were in a scout tent probably as far away as you could get . It's a long slog at the end of the day . But take a breather at strummerville and at the bars on top of hill before you go into wv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
