Just an advice for people arriving today. Get the thickest sleeping bag you’ve got. Last night was horrendously cold, 3 hoodies wasn’t enough, hence I’m up at this ungodly hour ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Heh. Took my night time fleece out of my bag as I thought the overnight temperatures looked OK.

[Jay89]

I advise you put it back in. I’m cold arse as it is, but that was something else.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Too late now! Still got my woolly hat though. Worst case scenario I can just layer up.

[JGP]

Been at work nearly an hour. Just over 7 hours until I can leave, 7.5 hours until I depart for Pilton and about 12.5 hours until I'm through those barriers!! 

I'm physically euphoric because I'm going TODAY, but also physically hurting thinking of people who've had TWO WHOLE DAYS before I even get there.

[jparx]

On the train to Castle Cary now. The weather is outrageous. This is going to be an all timer.

[nikkic]

Now en route. ETA 2pm. 

Excitement overload.

I'm doing exactly this. What will be will be. 

[Madyaker]

It got really cold last night with the wind and tonight will be the same so bring warm stuff as well 

[Muppetmark]

Just got on the coach. Excited 

[gherkin8r]

In the airport lounge here, be heading to gate shortly and on site and pitched by about 7. Finding it a bit hard to settle. 

[JGP]

2 hours to go until I'm on my way! 

[Homer]

Sat in a service station: textbook 

[JGP]

15 minutes left at work - watching Glastonbury's Greatest Headliners on BBC iplayer! 

[gherkin8r]

Flight delayed 15 mins and it feels like the end of the world

[Homer]

Driver just handed all the tickets out without checking any IDs. Had about five left unclaimed too!

I'm bloody friday arrival! And I promised my 6 year old I'd come to sports day so I can't even leave until lunchtime.

I know I'm lucky to be going at all though - I can't wait to get there now. Thanks for the tips re the cold - i  had only packed my thin denim jacket. I hate being cold, so that would be been a disaster!
