not everyone needs to worry about driving, it makes much more sense to go with a few people in each car - its cheaper for us and it makes it much easier for the organisers who have to work with limited space and deal with queueing traffic at stage entrances etc.
I'll see what info i can find out with regards to the stages and will let you know
For those thinking of going down on the Friday, i don't think they're running any of the usual evening tarmac stages along Bournemouth seafront this year - think the stages are only on Saturday this year.
