Biking to Glastonbury Festival

Are you, like Ollie, one of those people who took up Mr Eaviseses offer of cycling to the festival from one of the nearby towns? Those with good enough thigh-muscles and a bike that isn't rusted to the floor of their garage are being invited to cycle to the festival, with promises of several rewards, including a free lock-up, and a super-special campsite all to themselves.



Cyclists also get a discount card and most of their stuff carried onto the site by special festival pixies.

For those of you who took up the offer, the drop-off points for all your stuff are:

Wheres the sence in that?
I live in burnham on sea and now have to travel to Weston supermare for my bags to be picked up. That's a 20+ mile round trip. What's the point in saving the environment

Your 'Feedjit' live thing is about 12 miles out. I live in Bath, not Bristol. Just thought I'd tell you.

P.S. - It's PISSING down right now...

Ixion's Disciple said...

Feedjit is a nonsense thing, but still fun. It decides where you are from where your internet server is. So according to feedjit, our office is in Leicester, not Wells. Pissing down here too, but its all going to stop next week, honest.

Laura said...

Hi Tom!

Are you sure you haven't moved? Feejit is on the internet, so it must be right.

Connecticut, Oklahoma, Florida, New York, you can almost feel the envy from the States.

...but I am one of the envious ones, might just be me projecting.
