HW: Camping at Canterbury - Saturday 18 August

[Moonglum]

Grakkl,

Can't answer all your questions mate, but here are a few:

1.  Rail travel: trains from Dover Priory station to Faversham.  Journey
time is 30-40 minutes & you don't need to change trains.  Timetable info at
http://www.railtrack.com  You don't need to book a place on the train.

2.  From Faversham station to the festival site: there's a free shuttle bus.
http://www.canterburyfestival.com has details & you need to let them know
ahead of time if you want to use the shuttle bus

3.  If you want to go from Faversham station to the campground you'll
probably need to get a taxi.

4.  Yeah I would say you do need to book for tents.  Probably OK to leave
stuff in your tent, and your tent all sealed up.  Or I might be able to lock
stuff in my car (once I've emptied the 4 list members and their camping gear
out of it)

Sounds like a few of us might be going - what do people think of doing BOC-L
badges like Michael B did for Hawkestra?  I might post a simple design on
http://www.dreamworker.co.uk that people can print off and pin onto
themselves
