Walking time from different landmarks

[deebeedoobee]

The complete railway line path is 0.8 miles long.

It feels like further some days 😐

[rockandnoll]

First swing at this. Although a lot of these will have been alcohol fuelled and also a couple of years out of the memory.

How do these fit with people and then from there I can try and expand it out

[al_coholic]

this is what I think, but I am quite a quick walker when I dont stop for a beer

Pyramid to Acoustic/Kidzfield is so much less than that for a start

What part of the pyramid are we saying? I mean there is a difference between leaving from the side, from the barrier etc etc

I agree, but I think for places like Pyramid we have to go from the middle of the field otherwise everything could have a 5 min swing on it

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

It could take 30 minutes to get from one side of the pyramid to the other side in certain circumstances.

Exactly. And also true for the Park at peak times

Ok let’s make another chart…. Barrier to anywhere during Macca 😂.   

[Deaf Nobby Burton]

I guess logical thing for the Pyramid would need to be the time for the nearest side from where you’re coming from, you would then just need to allow enough time to actually find a spot from there.

[gooner1990]

I know its not going to happen but the chart will only work if you don't get bogged down in minor detail, its only meant to be an estimate based on good walking conditions etc.

[am00]

I look at Google maps or anything else like this also. Everyone has an idea if they walk slower/faster than normal, everyone knows where the killer hills are and where the bars are they are most likely to get distracted at and I don't think anyone will come back angry if a walk takes longer than what the matrix says at peak times! 

It's gonna be a very helpful rough estimate!

Unfortunately this is efests, getting bogged down in minor detail is what it lives for 🤣

I'm fully aware of that, hence my comment! 😄

Nah mate, only run. I don’t think my times would be relevant.

Crikey didn't realise thar 😊

[paulshane]

If i'm not otherwise distracted, I will try and remember to time some journeys while at the festival, I love walking about the site so I can get some 'real world' times.

 

Maybe if a few other people also do this we can 'crowd source' it and take an average, that way it won't matter what day/time the times are taken, as an avererage is, well, an average.

I was going to say, realistically the best way to do it properly is if everyone agrees on a route or two each to properly time over the weekend to get the most accurate guide for next year.

[Spiritdesire]

I wonder if someone who works there has a similar graphic? Seems like they should have approximations if they are moving around the site for specific reasons 

[Brave Sir Robin]

There are those videos of walking around the site on YouTube. Might be a good indicator for some sections. 
 

And @Staberinde’s recently posted map image will also help.

This and this.

You just have to take something like middle of the afternoon, mildly busy but not chocka and you can get somewhere without any hold ups. Just put a disclaimer at the side and people will have to adjust for personal/festival circumstances.

Out of festival time of course. During it, can be anything from a fast tab to a staggering mince.

Have an estimate on the side for mud and crowds. 

E.g. Crowded add 2 minutes for every 10 minutes walking time

Mud add 15 minutes to every 10. 🤣

Beautifully put 🙂 

[clarkete]

I know you can do it with apps (Strava? or similar) but I do like the idea of someone treating it like a school project...

On Google Maps you can right click and select measure distance, then trace a route across the map. 

I just did it to measure our walk in from purple 5 to our camping spot in 2019. I used the Aerial map just posted by @Staberinde to find our car and tent's exact location. 

1.7 miles, and I reckon I was carrying about 60 kg of gear, at about 5pm on the Wednesday (I had to work Wednesday). Jesus Christ I sweated a lot.
