Unplanned as ever….
I’m heading back for the V festival this weekend - Once off the plane I have no idea of how I’m actually getting there, how I’ll pick up my ticket, whose tent, whose sleeping bag, not really enough money, not sure how I’ll get back - but I’m sure of catching the plane to the UK as I booked and paid for my ticket ages ago and it’s too late to back out now - that was the point of booking ages ago - to make sure I didn’t back out by not giving myself the option - I figured the rest of the arrangements will sort themselves out closer to the time.
Now is closer to the time.
As ever I leave things to the last minute before looking into whether this lackadaisical dream is actually possible - looking into things results in the following:
Friday 18th - Plane arrives Birmingham 21:30 - then 21:58 train direct from the airport to wolverhapmton arrives 22:36 - last shuttle bus leaves wolverhampton for the event at weston park at 23:15.
.
Find everyone - organise a tent and sleeping bag - get well and truly wasted and watch great bands all weekend.
.
Monday 21st - find internet link and check-in on line for the flight - first Bus of the day leaves weston park at 4.30am - Train leaves wolverhampton at 5.05am - arrives at airport at 5.39am - plane leaves for Amsterdam at 6.15am.
.
Erm..... OK...... that looks possible...... in a perfect everything goes to plan parallel universe.
Meanwhile here on planet earth with a terrorist threat to the airways and with my track record for timing and organisation, I had better see about re-arranging my flights and taking some time off work to actually pull this trip off - otherwise by the time I arrive, It will probably be time to go home again.
