Really? It's a two and a half hour train journey from Euston. It can take longer travelling from one side of london to another in the rush hour. A return ticket will cost you £22.

There – No more excuses from Londoners!

You are lucky £118 for a day return and over 6.30 hours journey time.

No excuses from me I'm definitely going but spanky can you tell me where you have seen £22 tickets for please ? I've been looking on the trainline.com and can't see any as cheap as that.

The cheaper tickets don't go on sale more than 12 weeks in advance. If you hold your nerve until June you'll find tickets half the price you're seeing now. To see what I mean pick a closer date and you'll see a massive difference. For example:

Thanks very much indeed spanky. I am most likely going up by car with blownupdolly but I am sure that info will be very useful for others.

Plus the hour it takes me to get to Euston, plus station to vapefest at the other end - total 8 hours travel in the day? I guess I'm just not that dedicated.

Small matter of an ocean preventing me from attending.

Advanced single Leicester to Birmingham New Street £6.20 each way
Off Peak Return Birmingham NS to Shrewsbury £16.40 (17.20 before 9.30 am weekdays)
Total £30.60 (31.40)

Leicester is a pain in the neck to get cheap tickets to/from!

Thats a shame toots would have been nice to share a glass or two of sangria with you! You'll have to arrange a meet more local to you, (free camping goes down well!)

Oh yeah, and I can just see all the excuses reasons given on that thread for not coming:

Can't afford the air fares
Don't like flying
There's a small matter of an ocean in the way
Can't get the tent in my suitcase
Much too far away
The Mrs wouldn't let me go
Can't stand the heat
Don't have any sandals

Can't think of any more, but I'd have so much Sangria left I'd be able to feed the whole island with it.

Nope not going, why? can't be arsed to travel
