40 miles for me now, so about an hour.

Going down early yet again to work during the build

Wicked, any chance of photos again? They were great last year, there's a slice of gin lemon drizzle cake in it for you :-)

10,951 miles? Where's she coming from? Australia? That's pretty damn cool

Yep Sydney, shes been to couple of BTs with us before, the last one being the Australian themed one the week before she left to live out there.

 

ps- gin and tonic drizzle cake is one of my recipes

How can I refuse, yeah will do my best

Someone on this mornings BBC Midlands news was wearing a Bearded Theory t-shirt. Just felt that it deserved a shout out.

[tjamest]

180 miles for me from Bournemouth, meeting up with mate from Shipley - 100 mile in the other direction

[generationgav]

About 85 miles for me from Manchester. Google suggests just shy of 2 hours.

Which makes it a gamble, do we leave work at 5:30 Thursday and hope we make it within 2.5 hours for gates closing at 8pm? Don't think it's worth the gamble unfortunately.

It'll be worth the journey for her. Tell her to bring some Aussie sunshine with her :-)

on the cake front, never done it before, done rum and whiskey brownies, but fancied a change this year, I like lemon, cake and gin. So why not eh. Any tips?

[justanotheronethen]

225 miles for me - Chichester to London Weds night then coach 7AM Thurs from Victoria... am already feeling too old for this but can't miss this lineup, plus I have some flapjacks to help with the journey

Ooo like the sound of rum brownies, I would make them rum and raisin.   

As for tips, mine is gluten free, other than that Im not giving away my secrets you will have to buy the book, its a fundraiser for Gail to clear the debts of the tea tent partly incurred during the tornado at Bearded,  she may have some to sell from the tea tent at Bearded Im not sure      https://somethingelsefests.bandcamp.com/merch/the-se-veggie-cookbook

It'd take some doing to be too old for Bearded.

Ah yes, I love the tea tent, I'll look out for the book, cheers for the link too. I'll take a look. Always like to support Gail. See you in the tea tent then. :-)

Tickets arrived!

[Popsider75]

Yep my tickets arrived today!

[cham08]

80 miles for me.  Tickets arrived last week and just back from a successful camping weekend testing out the new tent.

Even got a bit of time to listen to the playlist for this year.  Bring it on.

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

About 25 miles for me, so just down the road really.

The car park ticket has turned up which I forgot on the original order. I'm confident the actual tickets will drop for me soon.

[BlackHole2006]

170 miles for me.

Getting train from Horsham to London Vic then National Express to Bearded. Need to prepare a playlist for that journey. Not long now folks!

[Perks]

Loving the Spotify playlist. Getting me right excited. I'm currently looking for a new sleeping bag, a warm decent one. I was freezing last year on the night. Even with my super beer jacket. When I got back to my tent, bloody freezing.

[maninkilt]

Four weeks tomorrow!  Is it sad that I am already mostly packed ?

[Ravey Davey Gravy]

15 miles for me, but I'd travel much further for BT, although perhaps not from Australia!!

[karlpowell]

101 Miles for me , google says 1hr 56 

[maninkilt]

So how far out do weather forecasts start to make any sense ? Not yet I know, what sites would people recomend ?

A price well worth paying for 4 days of sunshine.
