Cider inside

So, the Applefest.  Nice to go to but a bit annoying due to transport and stuff.

I decided I'd go on Saturday. I had to return to Cheltenham on the Sunday and I completely failed to drink last time I was there because I was the designated driver.  So this time I got the train.  Sadly everyone else except flannelcat decided they'd do Sunday instead.  So got to Lewes.  Queue was hideous.  Called flannelcat.  Trains to Lewes had been replaced by buses, which were being crap and slow. 

Decided to queue for the minibus to the farm and meet him there.  By the time I was anywhere near the front of the queue flannelcat was almost there so I decided to wait. 

Place was packed!  Lots of stuff happening!

I was in a grumpy mood having been kept waiting by annoying public transport system and underplanned Cider transport system, but there was food there.  Tasty Pakora with mango chutney.  And pancakes!  And Cider and Perry.  And saw music and met a few of flannelcats friends and generally geeked. It was nice to catch up but I was really hoping there's be a decent crowd there. 

Bus back had annoying queue again.  Annoying person had argument with another.  Bus was packed. 

The applefest was pretty cool.  Just way too annoying actually getting there. 

Plan for next year:  Unless someone else wants to drive, meet at station, get Taxi (unless Taxi from Brighton would be cheaper).
