Right, ive decided to drive myself to the event and i will actually be now arriving at about 10am a good 8 hours before start time (im counting that i dont get lost).
However, i have a slight problem with my travel plans. No, its not that i havnt driven on the motoways in about 4 years because im setting off in the early hours to avoid traffic. But somthing alittle more practical, i drive a smart roadster coupe:

Beautiful car. Automatic for those long journeys, relining roof for them hot days, 0.7lt engine which means a full tank is only £25 and can go hundreds of miles with a 0-60 in just under 10 seconds. But lets look at the practicality of this situation:
Back Boot Space

Front Boot Space

Great, i can fit my PC/Monitor on the back boot space. My bag and all of the other gear in the front boot space. But what about my popup tent? Well, ive just tried to fit it into the car and it wont fit. If wont go on the passenger seat, and it will JUST fit in the back but it will block my inside mirror which i dont really want to do.
Why buy a popup tent? Well, never tented before and im lazy... damn lol.
------------------------------------
This leaves me with three options:
1) Somehow post my tent to the event and pick it up when i get there (is it possible/allowed?)
2) Rent a car capable of bringing all of my gear.
3) Get a lift, although i can easily get a lift there and back to the event. I have no idea how i can carry my base, monitor, backpack, tent, sleeping bag, roll mat, lockign equipment (for PC), cd pack + many many more when being dropped off at the door of the event. Although if i can get it to the tent area id be happier as i can signifantly reduce by carring load... Ill probably go for option 3.
