since the info on how to get to the bloody thing are only going to be sent out 3 weeks in advance, and i need to book flights now in order to get em cheap(ish), where the eff should i fly to, in order to minimise the difficulty in getting from the airport to the festival? |

I was thinking about this myself earlier today. I would email whoever you purchased the tickets off with your order reference number and tell them you need the info and why. I would say fly to an airport in England at the very least. |

Check the glade forums. I'm pretty sure it's the same place as last year although they don't seem to spell it out quite that simply, but if it is then Reading station is where you will have to go through. |

Fly into Heathrow and then get the train to Paddington. From there you can go to Reading on a First Great Western train. |

|
2 trains. it won't cost you that much |

oh.. so it's in Reading? I thought it was in Newbury or some shit? My knowledge of English geography is.. non-existant.. |
||||||||

You still have to go through Reading to get to Newbury I think. I am paragliding |

so fucking complicated |

It's not that difficult. Reading to Newbury was about 6 quid. London to Reading probably isn't much more than 10 quid. In fact... ... thetrainline.co.uk says a single from Heathrow to Newbury is £14 for a bus to Reading and then a train to Newbury. So that's piss easy. |

Hahaha, i live in Newbury. The glade is the only exciting thing that happens really. |

Peeps - I live about a mile away from the site. It's in a place called Aldermaston (the site of the Atomic Weapons Establishment - this is not on maps for obvious reasons). Go from Paddington to Reading and from there on go to Aldermaston station - not Newbury or Basingstoke, because that would involve a lot of fucking about. The place is sign posted but still a little way off. If you can't be arsed to walk you can get a taxi. A good local firm is Miles Cheaper. Their number phone number is 01189816840 You could call them early to book a taxi, or minibus. So remember PADDINGTON to ALDERMASTON. |

maybe its not that usefull now, but heres the glade org answer to my question: "Heathrow is definitely the nearest airport to the sight, Gatwick is second nearest. From Heathrow you will be able to get a train to the site very easily." |

Heh! : ) |

Last year i got a Ryan air form Rublin to Bristol, train to Reading then train to Newbury and the Glade bus picked us up from there. Its was a piece of piss and on the way met lots of Gladesters and had a laugh. Its alway gonna be a slight pain travelling to festivals but once you pitch that tent its soooo worth it. I was thinking of going via London this time but i believ it'd cost the same in plane/train fares but would take a little longer so may just go from bristol where i know a few folks who'd provide grassage. |

|
|
hrmm.. i think i'll just fly to heathrow, if glade are saying it's the nearest.. sounds the easiest... |

Not sure actually pOgO. I know that I'm staying in Cardiff for the majority of the summer (then we can meet up and get wrecked). Really not too sure about that one. I'll definitely get in touch if I'm travelling from Caerdyydd though. |
