Endorset Festival 2007 - August 10th-12th (with ADDED POLL OPTION!)

[Stig]

Got ours. They did say they'd be sending them out in batches though, I wouldn't worry too much just yet.

Anyone hanging round in Salisbury for an hour ir two, I reccomend the haunch of venison pub, it's really good despit the non veggie friendly name and does a fine pint of ale.

 

[TopCat]

so you're only allowed to take a bus from INSIDE the county you're travelling to?

Ain' there a closer train station?

This is confusing....

 

[TopCat]

I am going with gloworm and can offer a lift (outward bound leg only) for up to two people. A contribution to petrol would be nice, or some drugs or something.

PM me if you are interested.

 

[Crispy]

London -> Train -> Salisbury which is in Wiltshire
Salisbury -> Bus -> Festival which is in Dorset

This is confusing....

how is it confusing?
the nearest train station - Salisbury - is very close to the Wiltshire / Dorset border. So you take a train to Salisbury, in Wiltshire, then a bus from Salisbury, in Wiltshire, to the site, which is in Dorset but very near the border.

There's a clue in the bus company name - Wilts & Dorset.

last time i looked, county borders were lines on a map, not actual physical divisions.

 

[TopCat]

I thankyou for clearing that up.

 

[Dubversion]

I thankyou for clearing that up.

that's OK, grandad

 

[Looby]

I thankyou for clearing that up.

Do you have the same confusion with North and South London?

 

[Dubversion]

here's a map.

the dotted line is the border. see how close

 

[Tank Girl]

that map reminds me of school

 

[aurora green]

Phew! I'm glad thats sorted.

 

[Dubversion]

that map reminds me of school

[girasol]

I've no idea how to get there by car, hopefully one of my two travelling companions will be able to read a map...

Oh, that reminds me, I need to buy a map!

e2a: Are people arriving on Friday or Saturday?

 

[Crispy]

friday all the way

 

[Tort]

e2a: Are people arriving on Friday or Saturday?

Given it starts on Friday I can't think of any good reason to arrive later

 

[William of Walworth]

I'll be in Salisbury around midday I think, on the Friday, so will kill a little time there and have a pub lunch before getting the bus.

Crispy, did you already find bus times?? ... will check the Wilts & Dorset website later, if not ... in a bit of a hurry just now tho' ... cheers

For some reason I thought it started on Saturday

Oh, well, I was planning on arriving on Friday anyway

There's the bus timetable will - pay attention to the codes though, not all services are running.

From London, head towards salisbury basically.

 

[han]

We're planning on arriving around Fri lunchtime....

 

[William of Walworth]

Can do the usual Hook thing if you want.

If you're returning the same way on the Monday, that could be a lovely option .... cheers

Will PM you when I'm not just back from a beer festival, as now ...

As fall back, those bus times will be useful, cheers Stig and Crispy

Pervert

 

[William of Walworth]

Hook thing

In Hampshire, to boot!!!

PMing you Tort ...

 

[Voley]

Doesn't look like I'll be making this now.

If anyone wants my ticket, PM me.

Idaho / Spion - cheers for the offer of the lift, anyhow.

 

[William of Walworth]

Doesn't look like I'll be making this now.

Any hope of a change??

I wonder, if you really have to get rid of it, whether spacehopper might be able to/want to buy your ticket? He's not that easy to get hold of, but I might be able to help if thats any good. Have you met him ever?

Anyway, sympathies if other stuff has had to take priority.

Tickets

Looks like mine came with the lucky first batch on the 11th - unfortunately I was away on holiday until just now, and it says on the card that recorded delivery items are only kept for one week, so I suppose the tickets are now on their way back to sender...

What do I do now? Help! Please.

Ring up your Post Office depot first - they may still have the tix.
