How long did it take you to get there?

[spammachine]

Ouch!

I really can't believe the amount of people coming down on the Wednesday could have been that much more than the previous 2 years, when we managed to get into the site relatively quickly.

It must have had a huge effect this year.

10 hours... from Bristol!! But the bus was awsome

[spammachine]

14 hours.

14 miles in 7 hours

[mattrgee]

Wow, my 12 hours was certainly not unusual then. I rang Worthy FM in the end to find out what the hell was going on with the A39, they said it was 'roadworks'. Who would plan roadworks when there was so much traffic on the move??? Hard to believe.

Who's up for sharing the cost of a helicopter next year? The eFestivals helicopter perhaps?

5 hours stuck at castle cary station was not fun

[FunkyDenz]

Left Nottingham around 9:30pm, arrived Bristol 1:30am, stayed in the Marriott and set off at 7:05am for the final 23 miles / 45 mins journey which took 4.5 hours.

my train left temple meads at 8.45 am. got to castle cary easy by about 10ish, then spent 3 hours waitin there for a bus... guess what, 7 showed up at once >< filled em all up and sent up in convoy with police bikes to site, bout 3/4 of an hour later i was sat in pennards all in all i think i got off lightly compared to some of the stories iv heard

[PennardHill]

9 hours on a coach from Bristol with broken blowers/air conditioning, in fact we spent half the time simply walking ahead of the coach.

By the time we arrived there was no hope hope of camping on Pennard Hill.

Took us 4 hours from Swindon leaving at 7am and arriving at 11am

We got within 10 Miles, got sat nav to calculate alternative route, did 9 miles in 10 minutes and rejoined the main road with 1 mile to go.

Anyone who did not pull off the A39/A361 and go down the lanes must off your heads. What did you have to loose?

[swede]

We set off from Hull and it took us 6 hours, started at half six got to the car park at half twelve, took us another two hours till we were full set up in camp having a beer.

Left Wakefield at 00:20 on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. Was in Sedgemoor services by 4:30am and had an hours kip. Left there at 6am and got to the site at 6:30am and found the last space in the last lay-by before the West car parks.

Joined the queue at 7am and was parked up in West 24 10 minutes after the gates opened!

Overall I'd say I made the right call by going at that time - will definitely do the same next year.

[Langdale Wolf]

Problem is if everyone does that then the traffic would be even worse down roads which cant handle it... Bigger picture and all that...

[oafc0000]

And that us Brits do so love a nice, stationary queue.

[Langdale Wolf]

We was all having are own mini festival down the A37

[Phil-itfc]

4 hours on the train, 5 hours queing to get on the bloodey bus, then 15 mins bus to the site. train station wednesday was a joke luckily i got a lift back today

[oafc0000]

Still better than being stuck at work though, eh?

[Alcatraz]

Cor! The weekend made me forget about this!

Took me 6 hours from Bath!

105,000 people came on the Wednesday according to Michael which is nuts!

[Dark Star]

Hour on the train from Exeter, leaving at 13:23.

5 hours in the queue at Castle Cary

30 minutes or so on bus.

Nice spot in Wicket Ground just before the 7th hour ticked by.

[ParanoidAndroid86]

We left Cannock at 8.30am, pulled up on West 29 at 5.30pm so a total of 9 hours. This was after taking a shortcut through the lanes thanks to a friendly local and a campervan which brought us out at West Pennard and probably saved us about 10 miles of more queuing. Nightmare, will be leaving very early morning next year.

[lesando]

17 hours!

Nearly 13 hours in stationary traffic.

I lost the will to live a few times.

[Pipine]

We stayed over in Bristol and it took us 3 hours (the same time as our trip from sheffield to bristol!) Sounds like we set off at the right time though.

[Bloke down the pub]

12 ½ hours from Reading. It normally takes 2 ½

The worst bit was the last 5 hours through Shepperton Mallet
