I will hopefully be attending this will be my first year was gonna arrive early but after reading some posts here I am now thinking of camping although not a fan of it at all

I have camped before and unless you're a good sleeper you won't get much sleep! People talking, shouting, cars revving all at 2am. There is supposed to be a quiet area but when I got there last year (about 4pm) I got put near the entrance even though I asked to go to the quiet area.
If you arrive on Sunday you will be queuing for hours to get out. When I parked my car it was in the 3rd line and it was an hour before I got out so enjoy the wait.

When you get to Brighton you will queue for over an hour to get to Madiera Drive which killed a lot of Mini's last year due to overheating. Take plenty of water in case the weather is hot (for the car as well as to drink)!

Still a good day but with all those cars and people do not expect peace and quiet and to get anywhere quick.

nothing like that at all

I take it if you camp the night before you line your car up when you arrive and then you go off and pitch your tent elsewhere?

[PetePinnington]

When you arrive you park up where you pitch. I think it's 8pm when everyone lines up

[ibby4585]

Cool. Cheers
