OK OK weather Gods - I have got walking boots! Now behave please!!!

Thanks STEatT - definitely not moving from glorious Brum yet then! Will probably head north after rush hour tonight to wake up tomorrow with the view from the clifftop at Heasham - which to be fair is always lovely even when it's shit! May take my traininers and have a little run along theseafront to see Eric in the morning.

Not a cloud in the sky here! Anyone got a surefire method of taking weather with you? If I really try I am sure I can bring it!

Seem to have a signal at the cottage, champion ! Im getting a lift down off the father in law on thurs morning, first time the trip to a festival will have been made listening to classic fm ! His station of choice, his car his rules !

Hoping to leave about 10.30 which should get me there between 12 an 1 I would have thought. Hopefully no silly queues then in an set up.

[ramragon]

Shouldnt have any worries about getting in now, andys come to the rescue an the in law should be able to drop us off close to the pitch rather than middle of who knows where, thanks for relieving my stress fella, greatly appreciated

[amfy]

Well we are on the M6 now so it feeels exciting! We probly wont leave the in laws till Thusday late afternoon tho. Hopefully will find fellow brummie on site. See you in the fields!

[kaytee...]

I'm pretty miffed I can't make it down on Thursday, still got two more shifts to get through yet. My only day off today though means all my packing is done. Just have to get through a rush hour train journey to Manchester then the coach with all my gear, not looking forward to that part

[Andeeroo]

Evening all! First Kendal Calling! Excited!

Couple of quick queries if anyone would be so kind as to answer them! Firstly, I'm sure I read somewhere that you couldn't get a pass out of the festival except in exceptional circumstances (though i can't find it now so maybe I imagined it!) Anyway, I'm planning on making several trips to the car to carry my stuff. just wanted to check that it's possible?

Also, we shan't be arriving 'til around 7 or 8pm, hopefully going to camp in the quiet campsite. I assume we shouldn't have a problem getting a pitch? (Assume should be replaced by hope really!)

Cheers guys!

You might bump into Lakeland

Notice in the info pack that there are showers in the normal camping (non-Emperors) - is this right?

Also, if anyone wanting to taxi share from Penrith centre on Thursday early afternoon, give us a shout!

Does anyone know if the Morrisons in Penrith near the station has any camping stuff on sale e.g. sleeping bags or camping chairs?
