Coach leaves Liverpool 730 am weds so will prob start about 630 to make sure we get over the water 4 it. Took about 12 hours to get there last year so no idea what timewe'll finally get there! Great question btw - LOVED reading the answers - really getting me into the mood!

11am Miftas? what sort of queues are you expecting when you reach the surrounding areas at 4-5pm? Will you make it onto the A39 and past Glastonbury before you hit any congestion?
Only asking as you know we are travelling from your neck of the woods too.
Im still undecided what time to leave.
If I knew when the traffic starts to ease off the main roads on wed afternoon/evening I might have more of an idea.
Was originally thinking 11pm wed night, but then thinking around 5pm, getting there for 11pm hopefully. But if it will be chocka with traffic then I will leave later.

Dammit, I dont know when to leave.

We are heading off from London at 3am Wednesday morning, so should be on site at around 6am

The only trouble is gonna be trekking across London with all my stuff on the train on the Tuesday night, then trekking back across London on our return Monday, totally worth it though - CANT WAIT! 5 DAYS!!!

I'm a little 'worried'. It is my first festival with just 2 people, I normally go in a large group - I want to meet plenty of friendly faces!
Seems like the carparks will be pretty busy the Tuesday night!

I think my favourite journey has to be Mrs Bee so far - leaving on Sunday and stopping on the way down. Love it!

BTW there's no prize
