Obiginnaw Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Getting the Train from Brighton Tuesday evening around 7 to castle Cary, then find the nearest pub for a tipple to tide us until midnight where we'll get a taxi to the gates for the long ol' overnight queue!

broken monkey Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 We aim to be parked up by 11am Wednesday. Usually leave Kent around 5am and meet some of our London crew on the journey up there. Having proper sleepless nights now about the journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betharm Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 According to National Express we arrive 6.45am Wednesday. I know from experience this means nothing.. 2014 - smooth sailing the year we decided to get a coach from London. 2015 - booked a private coach as it was cheaper, big mistake as we ended up in the shuttle bus queue for 5 hours as the sun came up. 2016 - National Express, from Leeds this time. Arrival was meant to be 6.30am however we ended up onsite about 1pm due to the flooding. 2017 - National Express from Newcastle. Tickets were part of the coach package so the time was assigned to us. I remember getting there a lot later than the rest of the group going from Leeds but apart from the long journey time I think this one went okay! 2019 - tbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDayman Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Coming across from Dublin and staying in Bristol on Tuesday (side note: if anyone has any advise on a good spot to grab a decent beer in Bristol, please share) We're then festival bound from early doors on Wednesday morning.

Skoo Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Driving to Southampton from Brighton to pick up the campervan, hopefully for about 11am, then lots of faffing while we fill out an inventory form and learn all the bits and bobs, then onto West CV I hope by 3pm. Never done CV before and so this is our first time doing a Tuesday arrival. Excited to have an extra day of camping and getting settled in.

Lithoniel Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 9:30 Train from Wakefield to Bristol arriving at 12:30 Coach from Bristol to the Festival at 1:30 arriving around 3. Never travelled solo to the fest before, but I doubt it'll be that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greased-Up Deaf Guy Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Leaving Birmingham at 5am Wednesday. Aim to be there (in local traffic) at 7ish. Is this the worst time to arrive in terms of traffic / entry queues? First timer, sorry for the ignorance if any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Ideally, it will be the easiest arrival I’ve experienced, but I thought that in 2016 too. Leaving Manchester Monday 9am, meeting up with 3 Medical Services friends at 2pm just outside Pilton, then into their camp ground. Caching up with others of our group at CV East - only 10 mins away - sometime Tuesday. Can’t wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 (edited) Currently a sore point for me this. At the earliest and best - early Wednesday, at the worst - Friday evening, which makes me feel physically sick. Most probable - Wednesday evening now. Work related issues!
