2 of us travelling down from Durham like, the best advice I can give is.. Keep the weight down!

The walk from the car park to the campsites is a KILLER! Oh, and HAVE stupid amounts of FUN!!

:-D x

[Captain_Buns]

The walk when you first get in is ridiculous. But just need to keep telling yourself it's for a good cause & keep going.

Sooner you reach your spot & get the tent up, sooner the real party begins.

[Dan-C]

true, true.

i'm glad the walk back to the car parks afterwards isn't as long.. i may had been tempted to commit!! haha

[Captain_Buns]

I still don't get why they make everyone walk all the way around. Should open up the arena as well & let people walk through it!

[AaronTaylor]

Haha is the walk that bad?

[5tevieB]

From the taxi drop off to the red camp entrance is 1km

[madferret7]

And that is one very long kilometre full of mud whereby people are seriously considering ditching Pepsi bottles and asking themselves why they brought so much crap

[Captain_Buns]

Try walking all the way around to Tangerine Fields then! Got to go through every campsite, then up a hill then finally back down!

[theknightmonkey]

That hill is a killer!!! haha invested in a trolley of my own last year well worth it for the trek to hospitality

Something like this http://www.boutiquecamping.com/products-c25/accessories-c13/camping-essentials-c10/bell-tent-heavy-duty-trolley-up-to-120kg-p230?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=off-roader-heavy-duty-festival-trolley-ea0126&utm_campaign=product+listing+ads#318

[Captain_Buns]

I don't mind just carrying all my gear, but reckon the girls I'm with may struggle, so I'll end up carrying theirs as well!

[kyzie]

Essex is coming to creamfields

[kyzie]

Dont bring a suitcase terrible idea just don't do it

[Dan-C]

Yeah but you don't need to carry or put up a tent in the tanga fields! Haha

[michelle2123]

Durham ?? Erm I live near there ha ? Oh I went to v festival last year it was horrific the walk with all the stuff , are us all going on the Friday ?? And what's the best campsite ??

[Dan-C]

I know, you said there was 3 of you's from Newcastle that's why I mentioned Durham lol.

Aye going Friday around 8-9am.

And campsite wise.. I wouldn't know, I thought they normally changed them round every year anyway but I'm just gunna pick when we get there really.. Weather depending etc
