Anyone going to the festival this year.

Anyone been before, just need a bit of advice on what time to get there. Ive heard its a nightmare from the station to the course?

Been before. It gets busy . Do you mean train station or bus station ? Cheltenham train station is not in the centre. It's the other side of town to the racecourse . Lots of the pubs do Race breakfasts etc so if you get there early , there's lots to do on your way up to the course . We've walked to the race course from the town centre.

So yes I'd get into Cheltenham fairly early - even more so on Gold Cup day.

The journey from the station to the course by the bus, Ive hear it takes ages, is it better to walk. Think we are due in cheltenham about 12 ish

It's walkable , probably 20/30 minute walk into centre , same up to the course from the centre.

We are staying in the Ellenbough park hotel and can walk to the course via a private road we have a small share in 2 runners this year (about a legs worth each) and both are in top 4 in the betting for there races. We also have reserved tables overlooking the 1 furlong marker, so drop us a note a few days before and If any of our guests drop out you are welcome to join us for lunch, and welcome either way after lunch to share a few bottles and some fun

Do they have good chances?

They usually put on special buses from the train station to the course, it's as busy as you'd expect 75,000 ppl at a sporting event to be

I live in Worcester and come in from the north...easier access and can get a steam train to the steam trust station adjacent to the racecourse!
