Does anyone ever take a bike to the Festival to get from the Campervan fields?

yes,  but trying to ride the bike around is difficult, randomly moving crowds don't make for easy cycling. and its a horrible hill back up to the cv fields.

It'd an absolutely nightmare, you'd stop every 5 yards for people in the day time.

 

Also riding back up that hill must be horrific.

A reasonable idea is to drop it in a lockup just inside the gate

The east campervan field has got some very chunky ankle breaking stone on some of the paths, so would make riding a bike tricky in some places. They also have stewards stopping you from going down the hill directly, sending you into a narrow lane to the left which is always fairly chocca block with people, so a bike would be pointless in that part. If you can evade the stewards and fly straight down the hill on our bike it would be fun though.

Yes, would recommend. Getting around the festival on it is ok on a Wednesday and Thursday, but by Friday you'll want to leave it in the Gate C lock up. It's a game changer for getting from your van to the gate though. Last time I went we couldn't get quiet and ended up in the far reaches of E16. We were a 20 minute walk from the gate - less than 5 mins on the bikes.

TL;DR

 

Take a bike, you won't regret it.
