I am frantically trying to work out if I can get myself to Belgium for the Graspop fest - the festival ticket includes free transport in Belgium, but I have to get there first, and I can't really work out if it is at all feasible.

Eurostar is a whopping £139 return - more expensive than the whole weekend fest ticket!

Ryanair returns to Eindhoven seem to be around £70 - not too bad in comparison, but only if I come back on 31st July (hang around an extra day), and also I'd need to get to the fest from Eindhoven.

Dover Ferries across the channel to Calais are about £20 (cant remember if that is one way or return), but then I would have to get several trains to Belgium, and I would also have to get to Dover from Essex, which will be at least £20 whether I coach it or train it.

I have a group of friends going but there are already four of them driving in a five seat car with all their camping shit, so they can't take me.

WAAAAAAAH, I want to go to Graspop!

Bike is cheapest

I would say ferry because you can get hammered and annoy people for a longer period of time.

You would be far more respected if you swam the Channel.

Nonsense!

David Walliams did that and no one respects him for it.

Dunfermline?!

Metal Danny!

Scotch Dainny.

James, you better go and see Opeth while you're there. I really fucking bloody wanted to go to this! Bloody money, I hate it.

I may have to recruit him and Shug and form a triumvirate of Scots to destroy you.

It is looking increasingly unlikely that I will make it

My Belgian mate's going to the Friday. It's horrendously amazing.

Jesus, that line up is sickening, too many good bands, it hurts too look at the flyer!

Shit festival, no fans.

Only good band on there is Bring Me The Horizon.
