Just spoke to rick and cars will only be aloud to drop of the gear and then must park in the car park. This is due to people playing loud music and driving around the site late at night. Which I think is toattaly understandable:-( So we won't be allowed to stay in a van in the camping area? I'm sure that will be allowed.

I will be there after 3 weeks in Europe camping, France Germany Italy and not one site had a rule like this, if a person or group is a problem then deal with that, not ban vehicles, you would think they would have taken this onboard.

Obviously, this doesn't affect me as I'm a hotel man myself (& I'm not going anyway), but it seems a bit off only letting people know this new rule, the day before the event......There will always be the odd muppet out to ruin everyone elses enjoyment though, unfortunately.............Would it have taken much to have a security bloke wandering the gaff of a night, keeping the idiots under control I wonder?..........surely that would have been easier.........

Although not directly affected . . . . I am disappointed and saddened that this last minute ruling has the potential to spoil the event for many who are camping VB. Are we certain there is no room for negotiation with the organisers? Lets hop so Thanks for the backpack idea guy, I have several, but there is a lot of stuff that wouldn't fit besides the hassle of that. I hope so to, it doesn't seem to be a well thought out decision to impose this blanket ruling at the last moment does it. Whilst I appreciate no decision pleases all, personally I don't see the logic in penalizing everyone because of the actions of a very small minority. Other than not bringing planned equipment ( I don't think it's advisable to leave items of value in your car when it will be some distance from the pitches ) . . . . which seems a pity when the plan was for these goodies to enhance your/our enjoyment of the event. The only suggestion I can come up with if the ruling isn't relaxed, is that we set aside a designated area in the marquee for valuables and we man it between us - I'm more than willing to do an hour at least on ' watch ' Saturday ( Friday if necessary also and we arrive in good time ) . . . . with Spikey kipping in the marquee - it would be a most foolish person who would mix it with either of us!

I know it sounds a bit pathetic...... but its a hell of a walk from carpark to camping area, I may need carrying! I'll certainly need a wheelbarrow on the Monday to get me back to my car after 3 nights sleeping on the floor One of the reasons I camped last time is the 15 minutes from train station is 13 minutes too far for me I know I pottered about quite happily last year but some days I cant do my own shoelaces let alone put one foot in front of the other - I was fortified by vodka last time, but had to spend a few days in bed afterwards recovering but it IS worth it for the fun and frolics had by all) but half the reason I risked it last year was knowing I could lurch into my car and drive home - even if I couldn't walk and i'm now sweating to bits over not having my vehicle to hand More vodka you say? I do have to be sober to get home though!

No roof rack! It all fits jigsaw like in car. Worst comes to worst I'll drive you from tent to car!

I weigh a ton! I think a group drag will suffice. ?... As I mentioned earlier i am probably fretting over nothing as I coped well last year but a wheelbarrow as a backup plan might be sensible haha

I'm not even going...but I feel for peeps like Pepperty...she is always so cheerful & full of fun...but due to illness, this is obviously a distressing factor. But I also know that everyone will rally round for those that may need assistance...please just enjoy & don't worry about situations that, with help, will be NO problem Go enjoy

Maybe someone could knock up an adult sized catapult sort of affair...........It could be erected in the camping area, positioned so it is facing in the general direction of the car park & anyone needing assistance in returning to their vehicle, could be loaded onto said appliance & launched skywards......sorted............
