I know you did mention the pubs name but I've forgotten which it was! Not sure what time I'm setting off at the moment so wouldn't want you hanging around unneccessarily for little me. I'm sure I'll spot someone. Richey83 will be on the lookout for FD'ers as well!

Aye! Yeah, if a pub gets decided on I can Google where it is and make my way over once I arrive. Don't want to give a definite time I might arrive in case I get lost on the A38!

I'm a bit useless at making my own way to things though, so look out for me!

Hi folks, For the first time ever, I'm hoping to do the barrier for this one, but am a bit concerned that if I'm going to be there that early my bladder won't hold out through BSP and MSP ;( being an oldie. Is it totally not on to leave for the loo and get my place back? If not, I may have to exchange my ticket for seated cos I'm fed up of not being able to see anything ( I'm 5ft nothing)
Cheers.

That should be totally fine! All us queuers need to pee at some point. If your extra nervous about losing your place ask the people behind you if they mind you just nipping off to the loo. If they're nice people (and in my experience, they almost always are), they'll be fine about it.

Thanks for the reassurance //Kelly, but I meant whilst actually on the barrier, not in the queue. Are people going to be miffed if I make my way back to the front? My place is gonna be taken isn't it?

Oh right. Yeah, your place will probably be taken if you do that. The best way to go about it is by having a last toilet break as close to doors opening as possible. However, if you get to the barrier and know people on it you can risk it and ask them if they can stretch a bit on the barrier to keep your place. There's no telling that your place will be kept though.

Yeah...not because people are mean, but pretty much it will get taken. Unless you have good friends one the barrier and you go really early maybe?
