Like, after the EITS ATP I mean. What time would I have to leave and what form of transport would be best?

(have an exam at 9:45 on the 19th, see- actually come to think of it ideally I'd need to be there like an hour before to drop off my bags and get my bearings pre-test).

first coach from minehead to taunton last time was 7:30am monday, arrived at train station 8:30ish.

think you'll have to leave on the sunday night to travel that far


i did wonder how he got

back at that time. did he drive?


i can't remember to be honest

i think there was an early bus or something?


that is

poor planning on the part of your examiners!

really doubt there'd be any public transport that left early enough on the monday though :(


i feel your pain.

on a related note, when do bands and things start happening on the friday generally?


Taxi

Expensive but functional.


Hmmmmmmm

what time do bands go on until on the Sunday and how late would your average taxi driver normally operate till, bearing in mind he would need to be driving for over seven hours.


is it earlier on the other days?

also what time do you get kicked out on monday?


yes, 2ish to 4is on sat and sun normally

though sometimes a bit earlier on the smaller stages, and you need to be out by 10 on monday


10! ouch


yeah indeed

i'm normally a complete wreck, just ask guntrip :D


you don't need to be out by 10 at all

it's only fair on the cleaners etc. if you are, but you don't get in trouble if you are unable to and leave a couple of hours later


yes

you're supposed to be out by 10am.


teleport

obvs. duh!!


Can you drive?


Sell your tickets and go to the Pitchfork one

you get to see better bands, and you can spend the weekend before your exam at Chinchillafest.


By this I mean:

are there still Pitchfork chalets available?


I don't think so

but it's pretty easy to buy a wristband off someone panic-strickenly trying to fill their half-empty chalet a few days before the festival.


this

is what i'm going to do. ben, can i just sleep on your couch? it'd be better than stay with STRANGERS


that said..

..i did just totally presume that you're going


HI!

basically there is no way you'll make it on the monday.

you'll HAVE to leave on the sunday evening.


my advice

is to sell your atp ticket and go to chinchillafest in leeds instead. save some money, better bands and you'll easily be able to get back by exam time
