Did anyone ever hear why the traffic was so bad on the Wednesday night? I left at the same time last year and drove straight into the West car park no probs. As Phil said, this year Shepton Mallet to Pilton took 5 hours! I couldn't see any reason for it.
I helped some lads put their tent up around midnight and they'd come down from Manchester by coach. 15 hours they were sat on it, 9 hours to do the last 20 miles. Sod that.
