Firstly sorry if this is in the wrong section and the question has already bin asked loads
but me an my mates r going up to the TMF campsite at crystal palace with a few other good friends. The people were traveling with have tickets and are in the actully event but we dont. Would we be able to camp outside the boundries of the site or nearby so we dont miss the leaving in the morning???

The ticket is per car, so if you all bundle in to one mini, you can all get in to the camping area.

As regards camping elsewhere, there isn't any space outside the park unfortunately, it's just roads...

There's a public car park near Crystal Palace - people doing the run "unofficially" do it from there, so yeah, you could leave your mini outside and just bundle into one car...

I'm sure anyone can walk in and out of the park... So you could just park up and walk in from around the side. Don't hold me to that though!

Crystal Palace Park is a public open space. You only need a ticket to get into the top section with a Mini. You can walk in without one, and park in the bottom car park.

I uess he could come in and out ferrying people in and out... you're free to come and go until 11 or midnight when the gates are locked.

If it were me, i'd wait until late evening to start doing that because all the people will more or less have arrived by then....
