      From the Bumholes -
       
      they run from both stations to the drop off point. They're a slight nightmare if you leave on the Monday morning so don't leave it too late for your train time. Have £8 ready for a return ticket. Not 100% sure on times it's somewhere on the download site

      And what about the RIP one to the village?
      The rip one to the drop off point runs every half hour on the hour and half past then running back to rip quarter to and quarter past. Last one back is quarter to midnight I believe not sure on start time though.
      Apparently it stopped somewhere on the road into RIP and went to the drop off point. Last year the pass was a wristband from the LN tent I think. Remember reading a complaint that you couldn't get the bus from the drop off point without a band so no luck for those just arriving.

          Another one for you Beamie (i dont think its been posted yet)
           
          Will RIP sell out?
           
          RIP tends to sell out quickly due to limited space. The camping and Kip n Kit tickets are the first to go and most of the tickets sell during the early bird period.
           
          Will more tickets become avaliable?
           
          In the past more camping tickets have become available where people cant make it for whatever reasons, or other packages are not selling well. However there is no guarantee that this will happen next.

            The shuttle bus to the village was free this year :) you just had to show your wrist band. It dropped you off at the drop off point and you had to then walk to the main entrance for the village.

                    No worries, I will find out, just might take a little while. I know people who've visited friends in standard and I've visited friends in disabled. Not yet come across someone who's visited family.

                          Regarding Kip 'n' Kit
                           
                          Can i move my Kip 'n' Kit tent next to my friends tents?
                           
                          In the past this has been done by a few people but you will have to ask the stewards first. Generally they will ask you to wait till your friends have set up tents and the spaces around them filled as they have to ensure they have space for everyone. If after this there is enough space around your friends tents (where you wont be blocking the access roads between rows of tent) then they may allow you to move your tent.
                           
                          But always check with the stewards first.

                              Things like the Yurts, kocoons, tour bus and gypsy caravans you will pay the price for the whole thing but get tickets for the amount of people it holds, E.g. if you buy a 2 person Kocoon ticket then you will get 2 RIP tickets. More info on this will be avaliable on the website when tickets come on sale.
                               
                              Information on hotels coming soon 
                              This is all very vague at the moment but i will be looking into it more over the next couple of days to hopefully provide enough information for everything.

                                  Another one:
                                   
                                  Can i bring a gazebo?
                                   
                                  You are allowed Gazebos if you are in a group of 3 or more. This is because of space. If you are in a group of 2 or on your own and bring a gazebo then you may be able to set it up once everyone is in and settled around you but security may ask you to take it down if it is in the way.
