Judging from the plan I don't think uni would fit in...... It may be best to count on just drew going in the car

I've been 4 times and I'm going again this year. It's all kinds of awesome.

I'm going by plane. There's no way I'd be fit to drive back. I'll be barely fit to catch a plane - the last time we ended up in France.

If you're going you'll need to get your digs booked sharpish.

I've been. I am not capable of going again. Good luck.

Lol. I know what you mean. We've decided this is the last time for us.

It's a young mans game if you're doing it right.

Awesome man, reckon we'll struggle for accommodation? Where did you stay? What's the setup for getting to the festival? Is it a particular section of the city? Xxxx

well we actually stayed in austria in a place with a view that put you on your a5re and the lake at your door surounded by mountains
i wouldnt stay in the centre ,the prices obviously sky rocket and the train/tube system there is fecking amazing so id aim for somewhere just outside town 15-20mins by train, ive mates in munich so could get some recomendations if you want,

and if that english rugby supporting southern fairy is going with you just tell me how much cash and make me some space in the car

06-05-12, 10:59 PM

also bear in mind a stiener is 9-10 euro inside
so your looking at 100-200 euro a day inc your food ,smokes, funfair (yes its a must)
and id aim for either the first day to see the opening cerimoney or the last few days for the closing one

fine frolines dressed to impress and the drinking tradtion with 1200 people cheering you on while you stand on a table necking a stiener (dont fail at this the sigh is enough to kill you with shame), not that me or phil had an issue with that
