Default So, who's off first?
I know some people like to make a holiday of it and take their time getting there, so who's off when?

I've still got one week, 2 hours and 28 minutes before I leave. Not that I'm counting.

Plan to leave Gt Manchester about 11pm Tuesday, heading down to Sussex coast first then off to Worthy. 434 miles in all, but well worth it

Tomorrow is my last day at work but sadly I'm at uni Friday evening and all day Saturday. And in again on Monday afternoon - evening. So I suppose I'm officially on holiday from 8pm on Monday and am setting off Wednesday afternoon around 3pm. So almost exactly 6 days to go!

I'm undecided on the exact time, but definitely setting off from home (Arsenal, London) sometime Tuesday evening/night - but for the first time ever on my tod! There are about 12 of us going in total but the only others going at the same time are Campervan'ers. There's another on a coach Weds morning, and a couple of others driving up 7am on Weds morning. The rest are Thursday arrivees due to work commitments.

So a bit of a surreal night alone in the West car parks for me...and then the responsibility of putting up 8 tents!!!

Leaving sometime on Sunday from North Essex with the caravan and heading down to a site just outside Devizes for couple of nights (will probably join some of the hordes at Stonehenge if we can get anywhere near it!). Then pack up Tuesday morning, fully charged and watered, aiming to get in the campervan fields some time after noon Tuesday.

7am Wednesday morning, via the local butchers for a breakfast then head down.. maybe a toilet stop en-route, will be in Glasto by 10:30/11:00 then its a case of parking and getting on site, last year we were set up by 1:30, so fingers crossed!

So obviously the predictions that the lack of football this year will mean people arrive later is complete bunkum!

Heading to my brothers place on Tue night and then leaving in the morning when he gets up for work. Takes over a hour out of the journey, means the car is already packed and allows for a last shower.... plus I get to wind him up that he couldn't come this year.....

Fingers crossed, leaving Bournemouth late Sunday Morning, or maybe early afternoon! Good to get there before 'work' starts on Wednesday for a bit of chill time.

I say fingers crossed, found out earlier my ticket got returned to Brum, as they'd taken my address down wrong!!! Luckily someone was able to rush out to the post office and it will now arrive before 1pm tomorrow!

Ooooh! 3 more sleeps!!!

Blimey, you ask a simple question and get a million answers. Reading that lot has whipped my excitement levels up a few notches!

Just wish I was going with Mr Nelly & friends Tuesday night. But looking on the bright side, I get two nights in a nice double bed with no snoring.
