The field is being used for pre-pitched camping. So it's everyone in East or Bath & West. What’s the walk from here to festival please? Where do you enter the main festival site? Will there be same facilities as WV? Not very clear on website ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods, yurts etc. Good for those who don’t fancy the hill walk to WV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondered if it would be much easier for that in this new location? On the map it seems to be right by Cinemarggedon? Paths not that clear on map can you walk straight from there into Park/Arcadia area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Yeah, the major selling point is that there is no hill, its just the trek to get anywhere from that area. So a solid 30 minutes just to even get back to Arcadia right? I recall it taking me a good 20 mins from my camp spot in Oxlyers to Cineramageddon, and that was with zero rain or mud. So easily another 10 mins from there heading west. I wonder how many people will change their preference just on this change now. You can either be that far out west, or but above everything and walk down and be right in the action in a short time.

The WV car park is really easy too so wonder how the new one will compare? Will it be a car park that is used for regular campers too? Does sound like this a geared towards to coach ticketers as the bus transfers can be a nightmare to WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus transfer would as you say be easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats also another good point is that if you take the coach and dont Have to worry about being shuttled over and such. But who knows. As long as it gives better odds on thursday, im ok with the expansion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Raises a couple of questions on East CV Fields: How far away will any new fields be to accommodate increased numbers, and what if anything will they do to increase access routes in and out of the fields? I’m sure we can only speculate right now, but it seems a potential issue to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter North Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 WV in a way better location IMO. The hill is a piece of piss. Are the tipis on sale Thurs too, anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillyfaddle Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 I think Sticklinch is aimed more at the coach peeps. Much easier to get to from Gate A. Getting to WV must be torture without the direct shuttle bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a big factor is that sticklinch is going to have mostly larger accomodations so thats going to ease anyone that thought there would be less bells and pods avail after the coach sale.

Ayrshire Chris Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 So had a look at the updated accommodation options, WV now has no bell pads, pods, yurts etc, just tents. So I would assume they have increased the number of scout tents. The other types of accommodation are only available at the Sticklinch site along with some scout tents.looks like for coach arrivals it would be easier to get to the new site. Also if arriving by car you might not have to do that wacky races journey through the Somerset lanes to get to WV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest they could do with less people in WV... the showers and toilets got ridiculous this year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark H Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Someone ha pointed out on Twitter that they have removed the mention of hot showers for WV and don’t mention it for SL. Assuming this is just a temporary omission while they get further details up as I trust the festival enough to not simultaneously increase the price and capacity while removing facilities..

I would easily attest it to the weather though for showers. I showered once in 2017 because it was pretty even temp wise the whole weekend, plus a bit of rain, instead of 35 degress and above, which would make everyone just sweat bullets and want to shower.

Flying_Hellfish Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 The situation was exacerbated as the showers were turned off a few times. Though at one point we were given the choice of a cold shower (or no shower), which was actually OK for me since it was so hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynewdk Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 Did myself a rough guide earlier, it was quickly done in a matter of 10 mins with a bit of paper, and using the map and the distance guide, I wasn’t 100% sure if all the walkways were open and which side you’d enter each field but u catch my drift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
