Planning to get our shit sorted the night before so thursday morning we can hit the cafe for a fry up then hit the road about 10/11 ish. Not sure how long it takes to get there from Essex, 3 hours maybe?

I have a 5 day ticket and as I live in Nottingham I could very easily get there as the gates open on the Wednesday and get the best camping spot possible. Not sure if I can be bothered with getting up early enough to do that though!

Approx 110 miles from M25 J25, I usually recon about 2hrs max from there, so depends where in Essex.

I liked my journey time home from Sonisphere last year. Exactly 1 listen of Death Magnetic

Put it in on the way out of the car park, final track ended as I pulled up to my house.

I need to experiment with Download's journey, might be one complete listen to both discs of S&M... more research needs to be done

[Old Mosher]

2 hours isn't bad at all.

J25/ 26 I believe. 4 of us from Waltham Abbey.

[Shinny]

Going on Wednesday - EARLY hopefully... there are 8 of us this year... so that should be fun, meeting my mates from Darn Sarf at Derby station... dunno if they are gonna come to the meet with us yet though! Aiming to have our tent up and be asleep again this time in 3 months

[the_hedge]

I will be getting there early Thursday morning.

Live in Notts so should only be a 15 min journey!

[LethalLegacy]

Going down on the Wednesday. How early depends on my mates. But no later than Wednesday, around 3pm.

5 day camp tickets, going to head down on the Weds from Notts. Plenty of time to chill and relax.

Although not sure where we are going to buy our grub from, maybe head back to Notts once were settled?

[Chinese Democracy]

two just freaked me out - Im from the Abbey too...

I'll be going on Thursday, and C.D. if it takes you more than two hours you either went the wrong way or you went at the wrong time...

Should I ask you if I know you??? (or someone you're going with?)
