Not sure if we need one but here goes, who is the first away?

We're all packed, just need to load the car and then we'll be off I think.

I hate this thread

Well if you were going you'd only be going down the bloody M5 anyway.

Packed & at work waiting for the accountant to finish about 2ish. It's driving me mental.

Arrrgh. I was driving to work this morning when a huge spider crawled across my dashboard and into the space between the windscreen and dash. I've had someone at work hoover the whole thing out & he said he heard it go up the hoover spout. I could hardly drive the last 20 minutes of the journey so 5 hours and the possibility of a spider around isn't going to bode well for safety.

It was one of the garage spiders that are about a foot long & wear boots.

All packed up and raring to go. Listening to Worthy FM they are playing Dodgy.

Charging everything that needs to be charged, worked nights last night so no sleepage today and early to bed 9pm, then up and away by 6

If it meant I could go, I would drive any route I was told to.

Told to by tim? Hmmm. He is ridiculously bossy.

I really wish you were coming. I really want to see your face.

Leaving for Podimore in about 5 minutes, just enough time for a car re-pack and another fist fight.

Cant wait to see you all

xxxxx

Edit: Can someone please text me the day, time and place for the meet, cheers x

Shaddup and drink your gin!

Then march here, march there, march back again, march to another place. Don't look at anything or speak to anyone just march and do as you are told.

I need to leave, I can't do anything, I'm being spectacularly rubbish. The accountant needs to go away pronto before I explode.

I am totally off now. Totally well excited.

See you all very soon.

You seem to have omitted the countless hours spent supporting you on the walks and ensuring you don't get left behind.

Have no fear. I have retired from any kind of organising or getting the gang anywhere. I will be the one stumbling at the back unable to walk.

We should be leaving in the next half hour or so. I think we've got everything.

Eep.

Things are packed and in the car, wonder what I forgot?

Now just have to wait for Pub Quiz Tim, feed him pasta, wait for him to try on a variety of waterproof footwear, then I will be off!

I'm not leaving til Thursday. I should arrive just in time for the humidity and rain.

Have a great first day people. See you soon xx

We're loading up the van & trying not to growl.

Need to shower & shave & pack clothes, but we're almost there!

I need to pack my rucksack and then I'll be "ready".

just started packing and can find tweedle dee's hat but not tweedle dum's. This is not good. i have gold hair spray though which is very good and more gin. Might get a bit messy as only me a one friend drink gin and we have four litres...........

Just dropped the kids off and finished packing. Another hour then bed and off at 4am (ish). See you there

Signing out for my own 4am start.

See y'all in a field.

Boot repacked three times to take associated 'child' paraphernalia. Setting off in about 40 minutes.

See you soon.

We have packed everything except cold items. If we forget cold items i will be doing a U turn. I am apprehensive about carrying it all and attaching to the sack trolley. Fingers crossed.

See you all there. I will look like a cunt of the highest order. Sorry.

I'm not coming. Shittest day ever.

Leaving in an hour. Bit late for sleep.... Now... Lucozade or whisky?

See you all there x

Do hope you all have lovely times xx

we are off i have had two hours sleep dammit

Will someone make sure the back door is locked

Gah!! Waiting for Greg to come down and I think we're going to go down there tonight in the early am. Exciting!!

I cocking fucking wish I was at Glastonbury.

back broken and still covered in gold body paint

Seriously swollen legs and ankles and a great big dollop of sunburn.

Got back at 3. car parks and traffic no problems the price you pay is cunt hill though. My shoulders

Back. Quite broken and sleep deprived. Carparks weren't dreadful - 3 hours to get out via yellow route then minimal traffic once we got offsite. However since we had no map we accidentally went the wrong way and took some ridiculously circular route with Bath, got stuck in hideous traffic on the way there due to a broken down bus, then appalling traffic in Bath. Oops. Motorway was not too bad though.

3 hours???

I was well jealous this morning of Reuben not having to do cunt hill. Now I'm not. Thanks!

That's 4 hours shorter than it's ever taken me before! Yellow route is considerably less terrible than orange.

20 minutes

I no longer like you

Cunt Hill would have been bad though.

about 30mins from west 25 at about 8am

4 fucking hours from West 23, and I started my car at 9.45. Not happy but I got out eventually.

The problem was that the gate they were using was also the one being used for all the coaches to come on and off-site. Seems a bit retarded, especially as none of the marshalls really knew what was happening.

We had a really easy time getting off. Tried walking around but my legs refused to work so we went back to the van. Started the engine at 3 & were on the road at 4. Only pain was getting stuck in a huge queue for the motorway turn off. A nice man stopped his van & told us to head for Highbridge, which we did & it took us to the Edithmead roundabout. Home at midnight

It only took 30 minutes to get out of W33 at 7.10am. It may have helped that we were in the pink car parks, north of the A361.

Made a very pleasant detour via the Vale of the White Horse for a hike and pub lunch on the way home.

Left East 11, at about 6pm Monday, and pretty much straight out. Got a bit stuck on the A303 and finally home at about 12.30am.
